Editing 40d Talk:Pipe section

Building pipes around the fortress to move water and magma safely ( hopefully ) would open up many new options and designs for players. Magma pipes would also vent invigorating steam occasionally.<br />Also, in my opinion, dwarfs should be able to move through pipe sections, as the pipes will be suspended from the ceiling, dug into the walls or even made into a part of the floor, looking very cool when covered with a grate.<br />The dwarfs also most certainly would really like to see glass pipes from rivers to allow fish to swim around the fort. ( Some would propably enjoy the fish heading to the chasm end of the pipe... )<br />--[[User:Karpatius|Karp]] 18:11, 20 July 2008 (EDT)

-:Maybe sometime, but not soon. Army arc goes first, then some other things. Blame Toady for not making DF Open Sauce. --[[User:Someone-else|Someone-else]] 21:32, 20 July 2008 (EDT)
-::Not blaming him, just voicing my idea and opinion. And I believe Dwarf Fortress wouldn't be quite what it is today if it were open source.--[[User:Karpatius|Karp]] 14:56, 23 July 2008 (EDT)
-:I see another advantage to this: Pipes would take a lot less processing power to stimulate than the cellular automata that is fluid. Many of my fortresses have had underwater tunnels running half the map just to supply a well, and then elaborate downfeed systems and pressure regulation chambers to feed lower-level wells from those without flooding. I've experimented with ultra-flooders that could dump so much water even onto the surface as to kill everything in a given area, but the supply systems are so huge they lag the game severely.
