:::By my testing on natural flow from a river or brook I would expect it would continue to flow in that case, but this is strictly because it's a river or brook which behaves differently than other methods of generating flow.

::::Expectations, assumptions and guesses are all based on "logic" - which in DF is as arbitrary as any code. If you haven't tested it, maybe it will shed light on something. <shrugs> --[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 19:31, 20 March 2010 (UTC) | ::::Expectations, assumptions and guesses are all based on "logic" - which in DF is as arbitrary as any code.

== Hypothetical 'best' power plant design == | == Hypothetical 'best' power plant design == | ||
After investigating that submerged waterwheels work fine, I came to the conclusion that the absolute best possible use of space in regards to a powerplant is stacking waterwheels directly on top of each other in a room full of flowing water, as outlined here: http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=51302.msg1100425#msg1100425. This design can be easily altered to be wider north/south, longer east/west, or really as tall up/down as you like while giving practically perfect space conservation for a power plant. Dunno if it's worth adding to the main page - but thought it was at least worth adding here. Other thoughts? --[[User:Retro|Retro]] 21:42, 21 March 2010 (UTC) | After investigating that submerged waterwheels work fine, I came to the conclusion that the absolute best possible use of space in regards to a powerplant is stacking waterwheels directly on top of each other in a room full of flowing water, as outlined here: http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=51302.msg1100425#msg1100425.
