::::Yes, the tile above a ramp counts as open space. You can build wells, grates, hatches etc on downward ramps, even if there's water below. | ::::Yes, the tile above a ramp counts as open space. You can build wells, grates, hatches etc on downward ramps, even if there's water below. | ||
:::::Yes, a well will work over top of a ramp. Ramps act like an empty tile with a special function applied. So if all you have is a hole in the ground with a ramp in it, full of water, the well will still work there. But because a ramp requires ground to be built upon, you can't dig out anywhere below said ramp, so you can't exactly have much of a reservoir if you do that. Basically all it means is that having a ramp at the bottom of your well does nothing to the functionality of a well. But staircases still interrupt functionality should they be at or above the water level. --Kydo 15:05, 13 October 2010 (UTC) | :::::Yes, a well will work over top of a ramp.

Also verifying well desalination. Went to a saltwater ocean (It warns you on embark) with an aquifer. Tried to make an area, to see if the water could be used as a water source. It could not. It was definitely salt water. Built a well over that water without changing ANYTHING. Well reads as active. Locked all alcohol in a vault, (Dwarves will still drink forbidden alcohol!) dwarves drank out of the well with no unhappy thought. Also worked with the aquifer when I dug into it. Wells make water saltiness irrelevant. This is probably still as much of a glitch as before, but I'm adding it to the reasons for building a well in the well guide. --Kydo 08:15, 17 October 2010 (UTC) | Also verifying well desalination.

− | ::Regarding | + | ::Regarding dwarves drinking forbidden alcohol: did you forbid the barrel or the alcohol inside? Forbidding a barrel will not stop dwarfes from drinking or eating what is inside. It's the same with other containers. --[[User:Hermano|Hermano]] 15:47, 17 October 2010 (UTC) |
