A time-consuming but very effective and nearly guaranteed way to build a dam is to "part the waters" in the river or brook. This construction is easiest to perform on a brook, but can be done on a river, too.

Do not forget to support the waterwheels with an [[Main:axle|axle]] first. Then, further downstream, build a row of [[Main:screw pump|screw pump]]s that pump the brook's water in its opposite direction, e.g. towards where you built the waterwheels. Because the brook has its own special "tiles", water will not immediately enter the river again, and can flow freely on its "surface." Next, build [[Main:wall|wall]]s to contain and direct the water exactly in the opposite direction of the stream, for some 15 tiles. Then, channel the brook here, so that the pumped waters may return to the brook. Next, repeat the procedure in the exact other directions, some tiles away from the first row of screw pumps. Then, draw the power from the waterwheels into your rows of screw pumps, and the procedure is ready to start. |
