− | In ''Dwarf Fortress'' | + | In ''Dwarf Fortress''<sup>1</sup>, a '''repeater''' is a device which creates a cyclic pattern of on and off signals. The simplest repeater design is a [[dwarf]] pulling a [[lever]] on [[repeat]]. However, numerous fully-automated designs are possible which can be made to operate at varying rates and linked to other systems for precise timing. Most repeaters use [[minecart]]s, fluids, or creatures to trigger [[pressure plate]]s cyclically. |
As a general warning, always have a way to turn off the repeater, and/or allow your dwarves later access for repairs or modifications. | As a general warning, always have a way to turn off the repeater, and/or allow your dwarves later access for repairs or modifications. | ||
