Unfortunately his original twitch video has since been taken down; however, this tutorial is based extensively on that video, adding only a few improvements that have since been made to the method. Kingubu's method, which he loosely referred to as the no-cancellation-spam method but is here called the pump-stack method, is significantly faster than the famed [[Double-slit method]] but does require significantly more materials and labors since it involves building a double [[Screw_pump#Pump_stack|pump stack]]. In it's simplest form, the method draws heavily on the [[Water_wheel#Dwarven_Water_Reactor|Dwarven water reactor]] exploit, so it may not be for everyone. However, it is entirely possible to accomplish the method without the exploit, but it is somewhat slower as you will need to build a [[Power|power system]] to run the pump stack. |

Doing this is called drilling a pilot hole. To do this, dig up/down stairs under the top right set of stairs in the pit. This corresponds to the tile that is being actively pumped dry by the top of the two pumps. Once again, you're looking for a damp stone cancellation once the stairs are dug. |

And that's it. The rest of the breach proceeds as normal. So, the only difference between the normal method and this one is that you're using 3 pumps as power-transfer units. So, if you've got lots of trees and don't want to bring any stone with you, all you need is 15 extra power and you can leave the stone at mountainhome. | And that's it.
