40d Talk:Ocean
Has anybody had any luck getting dwarves to use an artificial fishing pier? I tried building walls in a straight line out into the ocean as far as I could, and then building floors off of that, but I don't think the dwarves can catch any larger fish (probably no whaling). --DDouble 00:50, 12 November 2007 (EST)
- You can just make a bridge out and that works fine as well as a pier. But the dwarves use the closest square in the zone to fish, keep mind of that.
Water Source
Is all water considered saltwater when I set my fortress near an Ocean? How can I find freshwater? The aquifer seems to be undrinkable. – unsigned comment by KazUser
- Please remember to sign your talk page comments with --~~~~. Also, all water (except water coverings) is saltwater when you're near an ocean. --GreyMario 14:16, 26 April 2008 (EDT)
Waves
What exactly does an ocean wave do? can dwarves drown in it? anything else i should know about it? --Wizjany 16:33, 13 October 2008 (EDT)
Water Pump Exploit
Someone slapped the 'verify' tag put on my claim that pumps turning saltwater into freshwater is an exploit without putting anything in the talk page.
For verification I refer you to the very definition of exploit: "An exploit is a quirk of a game that allows players to gain what other players may consider an unfair advantage, usually by making use of a feature that is not working properly or which defies logic."
- Maybe just tweaking the wording to "this might be considered an exploit" would address the issue. That would switch the meaning to "this might be a cheat" from "this might be logic-defying", which, clearly it is.--Maximus 21:57, 2 November 2008 (EST)
