| + | == How to drill through an Aquifer == | ||
| + | |||
| + | Hans Lemurson and QuantumMenace have developed a method how to drill through an aquifer of unknown thickness. In my opinion their [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=79224.0| original forum thread] describing this method is extremely hard to learn from, so before you end up like me spending days of figuring out what the DF gurus actually meant, here is a more newbie-friendly version. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Even in this newbie-friendly tutorial it won't harm if you first train this on an embark which you don't intend to play after you've made it through the aquifer. Therefore I suggest you take this embark setup: | ||
| + | |||
| + | === Suggested embark setup === | ||
| + | * 1 Proficient Miner | ||
| + | * 3 Proficient Masons | ||
| + | * 1 Proficient Carpenter | ||
| + | * 1 Proficient Woodcutter | ||
| + | * 1 Proficient Mechanic | ||
| + | |||
| + | sell the anvil to buy: | ||
| + | * 30+ stones (you will need 16 pieces of building material per aquifer level) | ||
| + | * 4 logs (to build a [[DF2012:Carpenter's workshop|carpenter's workshop]] and a [[DF2012:Screw_pump|pump]]) | ||
| + | |||
| + | Make sure you have at least: | ||
| + | * 1 (battle) axe | ||
| + | * 1 pick | ||
| + | to cut down trees and mine | ||

| − | + | ==== Preparation ==== | |

| − | + | Using your logs of wood, you | |
| − | + | ||
| − | + | 1. Build a carpenter's workshop | |

| − | |||

| − | + | 7. Now for the last quadrant. Deconstruct the pump and build it to pump to the opposite direction. It will spill some water while pumping, but it isn't dangerous. | |
