| + | '''Tower-caps''' are a type of mushroom-like [[40d:subterranean|subterranean]] [[40d:tree|tree]]. Once fully grown, they can be designated for [[40d:wood cutting|wood cutting]] and produce tower-cap [[40d:log|log]]s. Tower-caps will grow ''only if'' you have discovered an [[40d:underground|underground]] [[40d:river|river]] or [[40d:underground pool|underground pool]]. Such features can be located using the [[40d:site finder|site finder]] and on the local view during embarkation, if the relevant [[40d:init.txt|init]] and [[40d:world generation|world generation]] parameters are set. | ||
| − | + | In order to ''prevent'' a tower-cap from growing (which you will want to do to prevent tower caps from blocking drainage floodgates), laying down [[40d:road|road]]s, constructing [[40d:floor|floor]]s or designating [[40d:stockpile|stockpile]]s will prevent tower-cap growth. | |

| − | + | 1: If an underground river or pool has been discovered, tower-caps will start spontaneously growing in ''[[40d:Irrigation|muddied]]'' subterranean areas (rock or soil), or any subterranean soil (disputed; unmuddied soil may require soil walls on the z-level below for growth; see talk page for details), though muddied soil has a denser production than dry soil. | |

| − | + | 2: This basically means that if the underground area is irrigated, there is a '''much better chance''' of getting tower caps to grow there | |
| − | + | ||
| − | + | 3: The distance or [[40d:path|path]] to the underground river does not matter. Simply discovering an underground pool or river is enough. (does not work if you use reveal.exe) | |
| + | |||
| + | 4: It is thus possible to make a (big) safe underground chamber where your dwarves may harvest wood without exposing themselves to the dangers of the surface world. | ||
| + | |||
| + | 5: Harvesting tower caps '''will''' anger the elves just like normal wood harvesting. | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | To design a tower-cap "farm", refer also to the [[40d:Irrigation#Easier.2C_safer_irrigation|irrigation]] article. | ||
| − | + | Beware that young tower caps, like young [[40d:tree|tree]]s, are fragile and will be quickly killed if repeatedly walked upon. | |
