A '''screw pump''' can lift [[water]] from below onto the same [[Z-level]] as the pump. It is two tiles by one tile in size, and it can be either manually operated by a [[dwarf]] with the [[pump operator]] job or by using [[gear assembly|gear assemblies]] connected to [[water wheel]]s and/or [[windmill]]s. The direction you want the water to travel must be chosen at the time of construction.

A '''screw pump''' is a small [[building]] that can lift liquids ([[water]] or [[magma]]) from one level below onto the same [[Z-level]] as the pump. It is two tiles by one tile in size, and it can be either manually operated by a [[dwarf]] with the [[pump operator]] job or by using [[gear assembly|gear assemblies]] connected to [[water wheel]]s and/or [[windmill]]s.  
+
Building a screw pump requires an [[enormous corkscrew]], a stone, wood, or glass block, and a [[pipe]] section. The light green X must be next to the water source and the dark green X is where the water exits the pump. Having specified the direction of travel, you must ensure that the source side of the pump is placed adjacent to and above (in the [[z-axis]]) a liquid. The screw pump will draw the liquid up from below, and distribute it out of the other side of the pump. Screw pumps are [[building]]s that can be removed to recover the materials.
  
−
The direction you want the fluid to travel must be chosen at the time of construction.  Pumping only occurs in a straight line, and involves a total of 4 tiles in a row - the liquid source, two for the pump, and the output. The "rise" in levels occurs on the first tile, the intake side, from one level below up to the level of the pump*.  Pumped fluids can and will flow immediately after being pumped, as normal for that fluid.  Pumped fluids will have a [[pressure]] equal to the exit [[z-level]] - a pump never "forces" water to a higher [[z-level]] than the output tile.
+
== Notes ==
  
−
:''(* A DF pump can best be imagined as a simple [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archimedes%27_screw archimedes screw].)''
+
* The source of the pump must be directionally adjacent to "Open Space" that is directly above a filled pool of liquid. The adjacent space cannot be a floor, hatch, or wall suspended over water. Screw pumps can pump water through a grate or floor bars.
 +
* In order to build pumps in a "hanging" state, as in the stacked screw pump example, the dark tile of the screw pump must be able to connect to a nearby machine; either already existing or designated to be built.
 +
* The rear pump tile does not block creature movement.  The front of the pump does block creature movement.
 +
* The front pump tile blocks water flow.  The rear of the pump does not block water flow.
 +
* Dwarves must be able to access and stand on the rear tile of the pump in order to be able to operate the pump manually.
 +
* Active mechanisms connected to the pump will automatically start the pump; to prevent this either restrict water flow using floodgates, or put in a [[gear assembly]] linked to a [[lever]] to disconnect [[power|motion]].
 +
* Pumps can also be used in conjunction with a [[water wheel]] or a [[windmill]] to become self-powered.
 +
* Pumps can not push water up additional Z-levels. That is, if you direct the output of a screw pump into a 1-square space surrounded by walls, the water will not "overflow" the walls.
 +
* Consequently, a pump will refuse to move water if the level it is pumping to is completely filled.

Salt water pumped through a pump will become drinkable if then kept separate from natural walls, natural floors, other salt water or an aquifer.

I use this system in conjunction with a river to power the water wheels.
  
−
Building a screw pump requires an [[enormous corkscrew]], a [[block]], and a [[pipe]] section. The construction itself is completed in two stages. First a dwarf with the [[architect]] labor must design it. Then a dwarf (the same or a different one) with the appropriate labor must complete the building. This could be [[carpentry]], [[metalsmithing]], or [[masonry]], depending on the material of the block.
+
I wanted to be able to pump water up several levels without wasting dwarves on "Pumping". So by using a system of water wheels and gears, and a bit of trial and error until I fixed my leaking problems, I came up with the following solution, where the "1st" and "2nd" levels simply alternate until I reach the desired height.

It's important to choose the proper orientation for your pump, where it will draw water from and where it will deliver the water. This is determined before placement with the {{k|u}}, {{k|k}}, {{k|m}}, or {{k|h}} keys, and the text at the top of the sub-menu will change to confirm your choice. The default (as shown above in the sidebar), "pumps from the north" (top). The ''light'' green X must be next to the liquid source and the ''dark'' green X is where the liquid exits the pump. [[Image:Small pump.jpg|thumb|right|300px|'''Basic Side View of a Pump'''. <br /> This pump "pumps from the west", from left to right. The area to the right may fill to the top of that level, but no more (See [[pressure]]; see [[Screw_pump#Pumping_up_multiple_levels|Pump stack]]). Note that the entire space required is 4 tiles long by 1 tile wide, not including any retaining walls for the outflow.  If pumped manually, the [[pump operator]] stands in the light-colored area, as the dark-colored is impassable to both fluid and movement.<br />

The orientation is visible after placement only by using {{k|q}}uery over or near that pump. Orientation of a pump cannot be changed after being constructed, but, as with any building, it can be deconstructed into its component parts and rebuilt as and where desired.

Having specified the direction of travel, you must ensure that the source side of the pump is placed adjacent to and above (in the [[z-axis]]) a liquid. The screw pump will draw the liquid up from below its level, and distribute it out of the other side of the pump.
+
The red gear transmits power vertically, while the other ones give power to the pumps. Switching from up to left (or down to right, the orientation of the <b>L</b> doesn't matter) stops water leaking back down the vertical shaft. A single water wheel provides enough power for about 4 storeys. You will, of course, want to insert floodgates with levers at various locations. Attaching the gears that power the pumps to levers will allow you to turn the system off safely if needed.

* The source of the pump must be directionally adjacent to "Open Space" that is directly above a source of liquid. The adjacent space cannot be a floor, stairway or wall suspended over water. Screw pumps can pull water through a grate, floor bars, or a [[construction|constructed]] fortification on the Z-level below.
+
A problem occurs when as the channel fills - as soon as it's deep enough for the wheels to spin the machine activates, sucking water out of the channel and making it too shallow for the wheels to spin, leading to a distinct 'stop-start' behaviour. It just takes time to even out - I suggest filling the channel before starting on the rest of the tower.
−
* The light pump tile is where a pump operator will stand (if the pump is not powered mechanically).  Liquids to be pumped must be 1 level below the (empty) area adjacent to this tile. 
+
<div float="right">''Example courtesy of [[User:Juckto|juckto]]''</div>
−
* Dwarves must be able to access and stand on the light tile of the pump in order to build the pump and then to be able to operate the pump manually.
 
−
* The dark pump tile is on the output side.  Liquids will appear in the tile adjacent to this.
 
−
* The dark pump tile blocks liquids flow and creature movement, and can be built into a wall to create a solid barrier.  The light tile of the pump does not block flow or movement.
 
−
* Pumps can also be used in conjunction with a [[water wheel]] or a [[windmill]] to become self-powered.
 
−
* Active mechanisms connected to the pump will automatically start the pump; to prevent this either restrict liquid flow using floodgates or hatches, or put in a [[gear assembly]] linked to a [[lever]] to disconnect the [[power]].
 
−
* Adjacent pumps ''automatically'' transfer mechanical power to any other adjacent pump(s), no [[axle]] or [[mechanism]] is required. If too many pumps are adjacent, there may be insufficient power to run them. This does '''not''' apply to pumps being manually operated by dwarves.
 
−
* A hatch above the input tile (on the same level as the pump) that is linked to a trigger (a [[lever]] or [[pressure plate]]) makes an effective on/off switch for that pump.
 
−
* In order to build pumps in a "hanging" state, as in the stacked screw pump example (below), one of its tiles must be able to connect to a nearby machine, either already existing or designated to be built. If, when the screw pump's construction is completed, the supporting mechanism has not yet been completed, it will promptly collapse into its component parts.
 
−
* Pumps do '''not''' push liquids '''up''' additional Z-levels above them.  They only deliver water to their own level.  That is, if you direct the output of a screw pump into a 1-square space surrounded by walls, the water will not "overflow" the walls. Consequently, a pump will refuse to move liquid if the level it is pumping to is completely filled.  Higher levels can be achieved using a "pump stack" (below). (See [[Pressure]])
 
−
* In order to safely pump magma, the pump must be made of [[magma-safe]] materials or the pump's components will melt or burn. Curiously, if the [[pipe segment]] is made of any [[metal]], then none of the pump's components will heat up, allowing a wooden corkscrew to pump magma without problems. This is likely a bug.
 
−
* Magma, which normally has no pressure, will behave like pressurized when pumped. For example, when pumped into an U-turn, magma will come out at the other end. Normal (non-pumped) magma would just pool at the lowest level. This may be either very useful (can be used to build pressure towers for magma) or deadly (forge level flooded with magma, because someone tried to pump magma into a volcano).
 
−
* Pump's pseudo-pressure doesn't work across diagonals. If there is a diagonal-only passage in your tunnel, liquids will seep slowly through it, instead of bursting through above their normal maximal speed, like they would if there was good passage.
 
  
−
====Common mistakes====
+
==== Space-saving L-shaped Tunnels====
−
* Orienting a pump incorrectly, and/or not having a proper open liquid source.
+
This design is more compact than the water tower design above, but the absence of the extra gears means that you can't connect the pumps to an "off" lever without having the whole structure collapse when the lever is pulled and the gears are disengaged.
−
* Pumping water into an area with a path to other parts of your fortress. (The pump may work perfectly - the fortress quickly [[flood]]s.)
 
−
* Expecting water to rise up above the same level of a pump.
 
−
* Building a wall attached only to the light tile - this leaves a diagonal leak between the wall and the dark tile unless sealed there.  (If that's not a problem, don't worry about it.)
 
−
* Having stairs as input tile. Stairs block input tile, thus rendering the pump useless, even though liquids usually ignore stairs. Output tile can be any liquid-passable tile.

The L-shape's purpose is to stop water leaking back down the system. Note that either level may be used as the base and tessellated appropriately.

The easiest way to do this is to stack the pumps directly on top of each other in alternating directions, also known as a '''pump stack'''. The first one pumps North to South, the one directly above it pumps South to North, the next one above that pumps North to South again, ad infinitum. Make sure to fully surround the area the water will fill with walls, including diagonals, or water will leak out very fast.

Adjacent pumps automatically transmit mechanical power. If the pumps are "open" (that is, built on channeled tiles) to each other across z-levels, then a stack only requires (sufficient) power to be transferred to one pump. All others will be powered by association with the first. You can transmit power to each pump by simply channeling out the floor at the front (aka output side).

===No retaining walls===
+
== Alternate Uses ==
−
So long as the fluid is not dumped onto a floor tile*, a pump stack does not ''need'' retaining walls to hold the fluid in as it gets moved up - a powered pump will suck 100% of the water in the tile below it up the instant it shows up there.  So, as long as it's all powered '''and''' there's always room for the liquid to go, it's good.  However, once the power is shut off or the topmost output tile is blocked, all those tiles full of water (or magma!) flow normally.
 
  
−
:''(* when a liquid is sitting on a floor tile, it has a chance to spread out to adjacent tiles)''
+
Pumps can also be built with no actual pumping in mind but as dwarven exercise machines.  This is an excellent method to train haulers for better strength and agility or for future soldiers.
  
−
A combination of walls and (locked) doors can serve as retaining walls when necessary, and are sometimes faster and easier to (de)construct.
+
Screw pumps also act to desalinate any water which is pumped through them. This is very useful for providing a source of potable water in otherwise entirely salt-water regions.

−
Screw pumps also act to desalinate any water which is pumped through them. This is very useful for providing a source of potable water in otherwise entirely salt-water regions. However, if desalinated water comes into contact with natural walls or natural floors, other saltwater, or passes through a saltwater [[aquifer]] level (even if that has been sealed by [[smoothing]]), the water will be ''re''salinated.  So any freshwater cistern (tanks) must be entirely constructed to the full level of the water, with no natural floors or walls that will come in contact with the de-salinated water.

=====Plumbing management=====
 
−
Screw pumps can be used to "reset" [[water pressure]], preventing a surface water source from flooding a fortress through a [[well]] or fishing hole.
 
−
 
 
−
=====Power transfer through walls=====
 
−
Screw pumps can also be built as a means of transmitting mechanical power from one side of a wall to the other without allowing creatures or liquids to pass through. Simply replace one square of the wall with the impassable square of the pump, and connect axles or gear assemblies to the pump on either side of the wall. If containing fluids, of course make sure that the pump is pumping into the submerged area, not out of it.
