40d Talk:Well guide
Revision as of 04:12, 1 January 2009 by Maximus (talk | contribs) (→Tapping a brook: playing with... water.)
In illustration number nine, "Build the Well", where are the stairs that are in the previous illustrations? Is there a way to remove them?
Tapping a brook
As long as you're on the same z-level as the water, you never need to worry about flooding no matter what the source. So even a river can be tapped that way. Now, if you want/need to drop it a z-level or more then flooding can be a serious issue, even with a brook. --Squirrelloid 17:14, 30 December 2008 (EST)
- Interesting, I've had nothing but trouble trying to do this with rivers, and no problems doing it with a brook, even when I drop it down a z-level to provide a given level of the fortress with a well. Just wanted to note another well strategy, as the original article said it was not recommended and/or very difficult to do with a brook, and I've found it easy.

- I have narrowly avoided flooding my fortress with a brook. ('Oh crap, water has pressure' as water starts flowing up out of my well). --Squirrelloid 10:57, 31 December 2008 (EST)
