While in use by a dwarf, you can see the well's rope and bucket travel across z-levels. Although interesting, if your water source is very deep, it may take a while for a single dwarf to obtain water. This becomes especially annoying if you do not have a steady booze supply, as thirsty dwarves will swarm the well awaiting their turn. | While in use by a dwarf, you can see the well's rope and bucket travel across z-levels.

They will not obstruct one another, as they are not impassible structures. [[Hatch]]es, floor [[bars]] and floor [[grate]]s will block well functionality, if they are between it and the water, but grates and bars will not stop water from flooding out. Grates, bars and hatches will allow functionality again if opened with a [[lever]]. It is perfectly reasonable to have multiple well openings drawing from a single water source, as a well only cares about the tile in a straight line below it. '''Wells cannot function through a stairwell'''. It is possible to have obstacles beneath a well, with the well continuing to function, if the surface of the water is above the obstacles. |
A well is essentially a hole in the floor, so dwarves can fall through it under the right circumstances. Using a well is safe, while fighting or flooding near a well may not be. Any dwarves who fall through may escape drowning if the water source includes an escape route. | A well is essentially a hole in the floor, so dwarves can fall through it under the right circumstances.
