Could somebody provide a side-view of the cave-in methods for obtaining water for further clarification? I have difficulty interpreting te bird's eye view display, especially when dealing with a 3x3x3 cube of ice and supports. Samymboy0120 02:49, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

To be honest, I'm not really sure either. However, I think this is just describing a normal cave-in.

Be sure to link the support to a lever and clear out the dwarves before pulling it. Or, if you're a traditionalist, you can simply channel the top floor without a support and let it collapse. --Lethosor 22:16, 28 November 2012 (UTC)

Actually, this might require a wall to cave in. In that case, leave a layer of ice in the middle. --Lethosor 22:19, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
