Lymojo: /* Does Armok represent the player? */

How bout a category for future gods? [[User:Jikor|Jikor]] 07:23, 14 January 2008 (EST)
:Well, Lore would fit that fine, and future features would've been a good reason not to remove the category tag from Armok. --[[User:N9103|Edward]] 19:55, 14 January 2008 (EST)
==Does Armok represent the player?==
I haven't been around long enough to know about the earlier games, but has Armok ever shown up as an actual character in the games or remained an ambiguous entity in the background? --[[User:Jackard|Jackard]] 23:26, 14 January 2008 (EST)
:I believe all that has been revealed about him is in the full name of the games: Slaves to Armok, god of Blood.--[[User:Karlito|Karlito]] 12:15, 15 January 2008 (EST)
::Then I may or may not be on to something here! The 'god of blood' would certainly be an appropriate description for the player at times, and offer a simple explanation for the game mechanics... --[[User:Jackard|Jackard]] 16:08, 15 January 2008 (EST)
::: That's an interesting theory. I came on here looking for answers because I can't tell if Armok is the god of the dwarves or the god of their enemies. Or if he's just a dick god that everyone serves unwillingly. [[User:Lymojo|Lymojo]] 18:22, 20 May 2009 (UTC)Lymojo

== contrast with features carved from native stone? ==

How are constructions different from the walls and other features carved out from the designation menu? Are they more vulnerable to being knocked over by trolls or tantruming axedwarves?
--[[User:Keturn|Keturn]] 00:30, 8 November 2007 (EST)
:They collapse into their base materials when they cave in. The method for removing them is disassembly (any dwarf can do this) instead of mining. I dont know about trolls and tantrums - instinct says no to that. [[User:VengefulDonut|VengefulDonut]] 00:40, 8 November 2007 (EST)

== Dwarven Stupidity ==

How do i get my dwarfs to not stand ontop of the floor they are deconstructing? They always fall right after they remove a floor and I always have to build a floor directly below them so they dont injure themselfs. [[User:Diabl0658|Diabl0658]] 23:15, 30 November 2007 (EST)

:Build a bridge on the area to "catch" them, or build a statue or floodgate on the floor so that they can't stand on it. They can still remove the floor while standing to the side. The statue or whatever will still fall, though. --[[User:Turgid Bolk|Turgid Bolk]] 02:29, 2 December 2007 (EST)

== Building a tower ==

I want to build a tower with a 3x3 floor on the top level for a siege engine.

What I thought was: <nowiki>
###</nowiki> <nowiki>
#.#</nowiki> <nowiki>
###<
</nowiki>
where # is a wall
. is a gap
< is a stair of the right direction to get from the lower to the upper level.

What do I do about the . in the middle to be able to build there?
I know that when I build a wall I automatically get a floor, but how do I build a floor in mid-air?

Thanks,[[User:GarrieIrons|GarrieIrons]] 00:16, 3 February 2008 (EST)

:Wall-created floors are on the next level up. Just build a floor above the gap and it'll be fine... In my executions of the catapult tower idea, the stairs are placed so that access is still possible during a siege. (i.e. underground access and a platform at least 3x5 (typically expanded to 3x7 to get 2 for one) so that the stairs can come between the walls and there still being room for the catapult.) That should help ya, even if it's not exactly what you're looking for. --[[User:N9103|Edward]] 08:45, 3 February 2008 (EST)

== Contrasting Costs ==

Can someone include a blurb concerning the high contrast in costs between building floors and bridges?

It really seems to be a bug at this point.

--[[User:Stalinbulldog|Stalinbulldog]] 12:35, 18 May 2008 (EDT)

Well, a bridge is only meant for dwarves and wagons to walk over, you can't build a wall or floor hanging on a bridge, you can't build rooms on your bridge. i've quite some experience in this because i like making above ground fortresses.

== Children Removing Constructions ==

My children keep trying to remove constructions, which is fine except for the fact that they take like eight times as long as a miner to do it. Is there any way to forbid them? [[User:Lymojo|Lymojo]] 18:29, 7 May 2009 (UTC)Lymojo

== Build Direction ==

Can we put in a section about the direction from which dwarves will build constructions?

The general rule seems as though they prefer working from the the square above or the square to the left when building walls, but I've seen them break this rule sometimes. There must be some logic to it, does anyone know?

Lymojo: /* Strange removal behavior */

Any object that is normally fashioned out of a naturally-occurring ("rough-hewn") wall can also be built on a completely empty tile as a '''construction'''. This includes [[stair]]s, [[ramp]]s, [[fortification]]s, and even new [[wall]]s and [[floor]]s.

Although "built", constructions are not the same as [[building]]s (such as [[workshop]]s or [[furniture]]), instead functioning as inert terrain objects. Once built, you cannot interact with constructions via the {{k|q}} or {{k|t}} menus (although you can suspend or cancel their construction via these keys).

To build a construction, type {{k|b}}-{{k|C}}. A construction can be built out of any type of [[stone]], [[block]]s, [[bar]]s, or [[wood]], and requires a [[mason]] if made out of stone, glass or soap; a [[carpenter]] if made out of wood; or any kind of [[metalsmith]] if made out of [[metal]].

Constructions behave the same as objects fashioned out of natural rock, although the manner in which they are removed is different. Stairs and ramps made from natural rock are removed via "Remove Up Stairs/Ramps" ({{k|d}}-{{k|z}}); non-constructed walls and fortifications must be [[mining|mined]] out ({{k|d}}-{{k|d}}); and natural floors are removed by digging a [[channel]] ({{k|d}}-{{k|h}}). However, all ''constructed'' objects of any type are removed via "Remove Construction" ({{k|d}}-{{k|n}}). No specific [[labor]] is required to remove a construction, regardless of what labor was required to build it: even [[children]] can and will remove constructions (in fact they do so with glee). Makes you wonder how they can be so effective at stopping enemies.

Building a construction on a smoothed or additionally engraved floor will remove the smoothing, see removal behavior, and also the engraving. This will give the engraver the usual unhappy thought from art defacement in the case of a masterful engraving.

The most valuable material constructions can be made from is masterful tallow soap made from the tallow of a [MODVALUE:50] creature such as a dragon, which is worth 15000 a bar.

== Strange removal behavior ==

Once a constructed wall or floor is built, then removed, the remaining floor changes to reflect the base rock of the tile, rather than any stone, ore or [[gem]] vein. For instance, if you were to build a wall on a square of a mined-out [[hematite]] seam within a [[basalt]] rock layer, then remove the wall construction, the floor underneath would become basalt, rather than the original hematite.
More to it, if the floor was smoothed, it will become rough again, and engravings will not return.

One can use this behavior to their advantage in the removal of immovable [[boulders]] outside. By building a wall on top of a boulder and then removing the wall, the boulder will be destroyed.

== Priority ==

Constructions are worked on in a first in last out ordering, also known as a stack (as opposed to a queue). As such, if you order new construction, workers will attempt to complete those constructions first before returning to work on other designated constructions.

40d Talk:Water wheel

2009-05-06T22:04:20Z

Lymojo: /* Definition of "flow"? */

==Perpetual motion machine==
I've not used waterwheels yet, so I'm unsure if this is the case, but couldn't you, theoretically, set up a perpetual motion machine using a waterwheel and a screw pump?

The article contradicts itself, it says on the first line "in" a flow, but the next line refers to a flow underneath, which is correct? [[User:Matryx|Matryx]] 17:34, 31 October 2007 (EDT)

A perpetual motion device is easy enough to setup once you have an understanding of screwpumps and power. I currently have a water wheel placed between two underground resevoirs that runs a mill and pumps water from the lower tank to the higher one. Its very energy efficient aswell. Three axles, a gear, the mill and the pump only draw 40 power leaving me 60 for other devices.

I'll try get up screenshots of it or maybe a tidier one later --[[User:Lucid|Lucid]] 19:58, 31 October 2007 (EDT)
==edit comments==

Someone removed my edit, but the water wheel actually only requires one square of water underneath it, not three. - Sludge Man

We could really use better pictures. The tileset in these screenshots is terrible, (lets use the default one) and they are very unclear. I do not understand how to build a working waterwheel after looking at this page.
==Perpetual motion again==
I removed the unclear example of a perpetual motion machine with a forum link to much clearer designs. We still need clear pictures and elaboration of the method of construction. I'll get around to it once I understand it myself, if no one beats me to it. --[[User:Turgid Bolk|Turgid Bolk]] 15:48, 5 November 2007 (EST)

: Sorry about the tilesets but I didn't think anyone would mind my custom one considering the only noticibly difference is the pump which looks like 2 barrels.
Although my screenshots were specifically for a perpetual motion machine which is why they lacked indepth wheel and pump construction.
I was hoping to create a video or some sort of tutorial to add in the construction section which dealt with creating waterwheels for someone who has absolutely no idea of any of the mechanics.

Also how reliable are the new designs?
I checked out that link and I previously toyed with designs similar to those and found them to be excellent power generators but not true perpetual motion machines, they all lost power intermittedly for varying lengths of time. --[[User:Lucid|Lucid]] 18:30, 5 November 2007 (EST)

== Perpendicular to water flow ==

Strange as it may sound, water wheels do 'not' need to be parallel to the water flow direction to work. [[User:VengefulDonut|VengefulDonut]] 16:31, 23 November 2007 (EST)
:This is as in real life - you can build a less efficient water wheel by putting the "buckets" at an angle - and indeed might put the "buckets" on a 360 degree pivot for some purposes.[[User:GarrieIrons|GarrieIrons]] 07:21, 8 January 2008 (EST)
===Water Flow Needed?===
::Actually there is no need for water flow at all. A water wheel seems to generate power even if it is built to a water body with no current (no "entry" or "exit" points). So basically the water wheel just needs to touch water and that's it. This is what I've noticed when confining a canal with floodgates at both ends. --[[User:Flaa|Flaa]] 07:47, 22 April 2008 (EDT)
:::This seems to have changed in a recent version. In previous versions you just had to connect a canal to a brook and the whole canal would count as 'flowing' even when nothing was moving. In my latest game this hasn't worked. So it's either changed, or the fact that I tried a 4-tile wide canal has stopped it working. --[[User:Juckto|Juckto]] 18:22, 10 May 2008 (EDT)

== Powering a Water Wheel ==

It seems that you can connect a Water Wheel to a Windmill, or other power source and cause it to spin - is there a purpose to doing this? can you move water along channels this way? What are the benefits? --[[User:SeiferTim|SeiferTim]] 12:47, 12 March 2008 (EDT)

::I think that it's because water wheels use power to run. Hence, they produce 100 power by themselves, but end up using 10 to spin, making the net power output only 90. Therefore, most likely the windmills provide that 10 power to the waterwheel. I don't think it does anything, but it does look cool.
--[[User:Umiman|Umiman]] 05:34, 27 May 2008 (EDT)

==Verify Carpenter==
Does the water wheel require carpentry to build?--[[User:Richards|Richards]] 04:11, 21 April 2008 (EDT)

==Minimum water level==
What is the minimum water level and flow required to power a waterwheel? --[[User:Sphexx|Sphexx]] 16:48, 27 May 2008 (EDT)

:1/7 water Hight. [[User:Hoborobo|Hoborobo]] 04:59, 8 June 2008 (EDT)-
::That doesn't sound correct to me... [[User:Juckto|Juckto]] 20:33, 14 June 2008 (EDT)

== Definition of "flow"? ==

The article states that waterwheels need flow under them, but how exactly does the game calculate this?

I was thinking that it means any water changing depth below it, but that would rule out building on a river/ocean full of 7/7 tiles. Will a waterwheel work on top of water full to the brim but supposedly "flowing" (i.e. ocean, full river)? [[User:G-Flex|G-Flex]] 8 June 2008 (EDT)

:I just redirected a river to run through my fortress and then back out again. As my channel was filling up it provided NO power. However, once the water filled the spaces at the edge of the map (the OUT point of the original river), my waterwheels suddenly gained power. It seems that flow takes place either a) when the depth of the water is shifting around or b) when the tile is defined as a river. Rivers seem to be defined as any body of water that is connected to both the in and out points on a river. [[User:Lymojo|Lymojo]] 22:04, 6 May 2009 (UTC)Lymojo

:I believe that right now a waterwheel will provide power as long as there is at least 4/7 water depth below it, or at least that is what has been the case in my experience, as I don't think a dead end channel would really provide any water flow yet a waterwheel will still provide power if place over one. --[[User:Elvang|Elvang]] 04:15, 8 June 2008 (EDT)

::Are you sure, though? Juckto (above) seems to believe the state of affairs is a bit more complicated. I guess I can just test it out for myself at some point. [[User:G-Flex|G-Flex]] 04:28, 8 June 2008 (EDT)

:::I'm sure about the minimum being 4/7, never had a waterwheel that would work below that level. Maybe it counts the water as flowing if the water depth changes during x ticks? If thats the case then a closed system would work unless you manage to get all the tiles at the same depth. I doubt the game uses a system much more complicated than that, as it would cause incredible lag checking each tile for depth, direction of flow, speed of flow, and path of least resistance. Not to mention factoring in water pressure and evaporation. Additionally, waterwheels seem to work no matter what their orientation is to the water. --[[User:Elvang|Elvang]] 04:37, 8 June 2008 (EDT)

::::Hrm, yeah, it seems like you need change of depth for it to count as "flow". Putting in the ocean just don't work.[[User:G-Flex|G-Flex]] 04:23, 16 June 2008 (EDT)

:::::Change of depth not needed. Putting it in a full river works. --[[User:Savok|Savok]] 22:47, 20 July 2008 (EDT)

::::::I believe to have found the key to it: I placed three waterwheels in the bed of a drained underground river; the first one with its outer tiles on the riverbed, the second one hanging in a channel of three tiles, the third one with its outer tiles on top of two constructed walls, which I constructed in a channel in the riverbed, i.e. on rough stone-block floor.
<pre>
So I built them on top of this:

1. 2. 3. ( 4. )
rrr rrr rrr ( fff )
rrr r_r rfr ( f_f ) r=river-tile
r_r r_r r_r ( f_f ) f=rough floor (top of constructed wall)
rrr r_r rfr ( f_f ) _=open space (channeled underneath)
rrr rrr rrr ( fff )
</pre>
::::::When I let the water in again, only the second one was powered, even when I interrupted the flow again. (As I the water flew out, it still turned at water level 1. That seems to be the minimum level indeed.){{verify}} So the generation of power seemed to depend on the underground you build them in, not on anything like flow. Then, to verify my theory that you need river-tiles around waterwheels to make them work, I built a fourth one upstream, which was surrounded by floor-tiles. This one, however, streched all across the river, and so divided it into a lower part (with the three waterwheels in it) and an upper part. In the lower part, no waterwheel worked anymore, as I built one of the second type in the upper part of the river, it worked again!
::::::Therefore, I suppose waterwheels must be surrounded (at least partially?){{verify}} by river-tiles, which additionally must not be disconnected from the source of the river. --[[User:Doub|Doub]] 12:25, 4 September 2008 (EDT)

== Two Quick Questions... ==

would water wheels be powered by water falling down a Z axis onto a waterwheel?

can a waterwheel be used in magma or would it burn?

--[[User:Althalus|Althalus]] 10:05, 9 August 2008 (EDT)

::Water wheels need to be placed in a channel with water to be powered. AFAIK the channel doesn't have to be any longer than the water wheel, doesn't need water coming in nor going out. The game isn't clever enough yet... (shhh!)
::I think the water has to be depth:3.
::Water wheels have to be made of wood. Any machine that has magma flow through it, if it isn't made of magma-safe material, will burn/melt. You might get a bit of power for a short time but the water wheel would burn (assuming temperature is turned on which it is by default).
::To sign your name properly use the signature button on the toolbar or type "~" four times: <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> [[User:GarrieIrons|GarrieIrons]] 21:26, 8 August 2008 (EDT)

:::Waterwheels may not be magma-safe, but the actual structure of the wheel is built one z-level above the magma, rather than in it. Thus it is entirely plausible that a waterwheel could survive being used with magma. Whether it does actually survive such circumstances, and if so whether it starts turning, could do with being tested. --[[User:Raumkraut|Raumkraut]] 23:09, 8 August 2008 (EDT)

:Well i guess i will have to do my own experiments on magma wheels, i will report my findings. --[[User:Althalus|Althalus]] 10:05, 9 August 2008 (EDT)

:Sounds something like [http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=25242.msg289749#msg289749 Cog's wooden magma pumps]. --[[User:Schwern|Schwern]] 20:22, 18 December 2008 (EST)

:Not really - of course, waterwheels suspended above magma will not self-destruct, since they are not IN magma, but it is not known whether magma ''powers'' waterwheels, or if that is only hardcoded to be water. --[[User:Savok|Savok]] 09:42, 19 December 2008 (EST)

== Waterwheel on rivers ==
Yesterday I build a waterwheel above a river, it did not work. I build a second wheel in a moat channeled from the river it did work. Either I made some stupid error, or there is a bug at the current ver. that makes wheel not working on rivers themselves... --[[User:Catpaw|Catpaw]] 06:37, 29 August 2008 (EDT)
:A brook or a river? [[User:HeWhoIsPale|HeWhoIsPale]] 09:24, 29 August 2008 (EDT)
:: Oh it was a brook, since my dwarfes always waded through it. okay I understand it now... Is kinda quirky in the simulation... you turn a brook into a river by digging its surface... uh. common logic anyone? :-) --[[User:Catpaw|Catpaw]] 09:50, 29 August 2008 (EDT)
::: Brooks have a special layer of floor on top of them that allows fishing and similar activities, but discounts it being considered as running water, channeling can remove this layer. Apparently this has been the best fit way of allowing a brook to be traversable while still being a body of water. [[User:HeWhoIsPale|HeWhoIsPale]] 10:51, 2 September 2008 (EDT)

== Water and Flow Answers ==

After a few(a lot of) tests, I have deduced the following:
*A water wheel needs to have any '''one''' of its three tiles '''above''' water
**The water must be at least 4/7 depth
***The exception:water falling down a z-level
*:Placing a waterwheel with one tile stuck into the side of a water fall with make it active, and can be effectively done by placing several next to each other under the waterfall
*:Note: if the water flows over all three or the two opposite tiles, it will only be active for a second here and there, but it's great to make tons of mist
**It can not be submerged, a submerged water wheel will not work
*The water must be flowing, stationary water will not power the wheel
**A screw pump can make water flow (See the section of the article on Perpetual Motion)
**Many rivers do '''not''' flow, you may have to channel a side river to make it flow out of the actual river and then into some other body of water
*:P.S. it helps to stagger the channels downwards so that the flow continues
*Lava will make a water wheel turn, (if it flows of course) if you turn off temperature (the water wheel will simply go up in flames otherwise)
This information was gather in version 40d
Feel free to add anything here to the article or correct anything that might be wrong

--[[User:Wizjany|Wizjany]] 23:14, 25 October 2008 (EDT)

I'm not entirely sure about submerged water wheels. I had a water wheel placed in a (channeled) brook, connected to a screw pump. I built a wall/box around both the screw pump and the water wheel to create a reservoir which was drawn from by another screw pump one z-level up. Perhaps the waterwheel only ceases to work after the water reaches a certain depth? --[[User:RomeoFalling|RomeoFalling]] 23:31, 25 October 2008 (EDT)

== Safe water wheel power ==

Imagine that I had a totally walled off above-ground area. Now I redirect a river to flow under my walls with an above-ground area between my walls. Will this provide the necessary flow for a water wheel? [[User:Gairabad|Gairabad]] 18:13, 15 November 2008 (EST)

:I imagine if it would work without the walls in place, it would work with them in place. But swimming creatures (crocodiles, etc.) might be able to swim up the channel.--[[User:Maximus|Maximus]] 19:27, 15 November 2008 (EST)

::A well-placed grate or two would deal with them. [[User:Gairabad|Gairabad]] 23:55, 17 November 2008 (EST)

:Any flow ought to be able to power a water wheel. I've had three ganged water wheels running off the power of one aquifer flowing into another. (much lava work was needed to breach the aquifer in various places.) --[[User:Corona688|Corona688]] 14:04, 19 December 2008 (EST)

==Underwater Waterwheels==

Will a waterwheel continue to provide power if it is submerged, so long as there is running water in the appropriate tiles? Say, suppose you drain the ocean, and set up water-wheels along the ocean floor to provide power to an underwater fortress, so it can auto-drain itself if you abandon and reclaim.

Lymojo: /* The Statue */

{{D for Dwarf}}

'''Planepacked''' is a [[Limestone]] [[Statue]], now known as the most epic [[artifact]] ever created by dwarvenkind, without cheating or exploiting. Although Planepacked is most likely a bug, or some unintended result of modding [[goblin]]s to be twelve times stronger, it is still considered official by those who matter.

= The Statue=
The statue itself contains an ungodly amount of items built into it, and contains what would appear to be the entire history of the world in which it was created. It also includes several dozen images of itself, leading one to believe that either the designs engraved upon it are minutely fractal, or that where Planepacked stands the universe folds. It also most likely contains several pictures of toads, cheese, and squares.

== Materials ==

* [[Limestone]]
* [[Gypsum]]
* [[Native platinum]]
* [[Magnetite]]
* [[Limonite]]
* [[Malachite]]
* [[Pig iron]]
* [[Cave lobster]] [[shell]]
* [[Dog]] [[leather]]
* [[Native gold]]
* [[Oak]]
* [[Orthoclase]]
* [[Steel]]
* [[Brown jasper]]

See external links for a complete list of materials and item detail.

== Value ==
Planepacked is worth an amazing 3,105,600☼, an extremely high amount in relation to its standard materials.

== Creation ==
According to its owner, creation took over a year to gather all of the materials, and then the standard amount of time to make the item. Why the [[dwarf]] didn't go [[insane]] in the middle of collecting items is unknown, but may have to do with the fact that all the items he needed were there, just not at the [[workshop]] yet.

2009-04-15T21:57:55Z

Lymojo:

A '''boulder''' is a [[map tile]] that occurs randomly across the surface of the world (often found on [[soil]] or [[sand]]). Boulders represent fragments of various [[stone]] types. They can impede the movement of wagons and get in the way of construction projects on land but can be walked over by [[dwarves]] and other [[creatures]]. To remove a boulder, access the {{k|d}}esignations menu and {{k|s}}mooth stone, click on the stone and an [[engraver]] should come along to turn the boulder into a smooth rock [[floor]]. The resulting floor is the material of the boulder rather than the apparent surrounding material of the ground that the boulder was on.

If you wish to remove a boulder without creating a smoothed tile in its place, there is another way. Simply designate a wall to be constructed on top of the boulder. After it has been constructed, designate it to be removed. When a dwarf removes the wall the boulder will be gone, replaced by a piece of raw, movable (and move-over-able) stone.
