[[File:Double-slit-name.png‎|frame|right|The two name-giving slits are highlighted]]
 
−
 
 
−
QuantumMenace has developed a very easy method how to dig through an [[DF2012:Aquifer|aquifer]] of an unknown depth commonly known as the '''double-slit method'''. Its name derives from two channeled-out slits at the sides of a 2×2 area.
 
−
 
 
−
The slits are used to break into the aquifer layer below, hence their ramps are flooded (blue). Water can be pumped from one slit to another slightly faster than the aquifer is flooding it. While a dwarf operates the pump, another dwarf can access the source slit via the ramp and seal off the surrounding walls of the aquifer one by one.
 
−
 
 
−
== Draining an aquifer ==
 
−
 
 
−
Before we will have a look at the double-slit method itself, it is good to know these basic things about the aquifers and how to drain them.
 
−
 
 
−
Aquifers produce infinite amounts of water, but they can also absorb infinite amounts of it. We can drain an aquifer into itself either within one z-level or across multiple z-levels.
 
−
 
 
−
=== Draining across multiple z-levels ===
 
−
 
 
−
QuantumMenace's double slit method uses this kind of aquifer draining for all but the lowest aquifer level. Once one of the lower aquifer levels has been cracked open, it can absorb all of the water being produced by the aquifer level above it.

−
|}
 
−
 
 
−
=== Drain within one z-level ===
 
−
 
 
−
The double-slit method uses this for the lowest aquifer level. Here we pump out the water from a tile being flooded by the aquifer to the level above it (which is already secured) and let it flow back down to another tile where it becomes absorbed by the same aquifer layer again. Note that the target tile of the aquifer must be cracked open (e.g. by downstairs or a channel) to be able to receive water.

== Tutorial embark setup ==
 
−
The double-slit method will be presented in a form of a play-along tutorial. Train it on an embark which you don't intend to play after you've made it through the aquifer. Try to embark at some forested place near the ocean where multi-level aquifers are almost guaranteed. Take this embark setup:
 
−
 
 
−
* 1 Proficient Miner
 
−
* 4 Proficient Carpenters
 
−
* 2 Proficient Wood cutter
 
−
 
 
−
You can sell the anvil, one pick, and all quivers, splints and crutches to buy loads of wooden logs. It will save you time cutting down trees.
 
−
 
 
−
Make sure you have at least one (battle) axe and one 1 pick to cut down trees and mine.
 
−
 
 
−
== Procedure ==
 
−
 
 
−
=== Preparation ===
 
−
 
 
−
Using your logs of wood, build a carpenter's workshop and craft all the parts necessary to build a pump, i.e.:
 
−
 
 
−
* a [[DF2012:Block|block]]<br />
 
−
* an [[Trap_components#Enormous_corkscrew|enormous corkscrew]]

If it says "Damp X" (X is the name of the stone/soil), it is another aquifer level and we proceed dealing with the upper aquifer levels. If it is regular stone (not damp), we will be dealing with the lowest aquifer level.

Now we will pump the water from one slit into the other. A pump can only be placed on a floor, not a staircase.

Here, too, you can {{K|.}} one-step to peek under the second layer of your aquifer. Once the up/down stairs are dug, disassemble the pump, turn it to the other direction and dig more stair there. (Don't forget to channel out the downstairs in the pump's source tile.) You should end up with something like this:

Now you can stop and dismantle the pump. The upper aquifer level is being drained into the lower one and is accessible without the help of a pump.

You can now secure the upper aquifer level by cautiously walling it off. The procedure described here takes about one in-game month per level of aquifer. It involves building walls to seal the aquifer off. To build walls more quickly, build them out of [[block]]s, rather than stone or wood. To get the least amount of job cancellations, build them in the order suggested here.

−
|}
 
  
−
Now the water from the aquifer will start to push your miners and workers around, so better be careful and to this step by step. Expect some job cancellations. You can minimize them by building out of blocks (e.g. wood blocks) rather than normal logs (or stone):

|}
 
  
−
Now you have secured one level of the aquifer. If there are at least two other levels below this one, you can repeat the procedure described in [[#Dealing with the upper aquifer levels|Dealing with the upper aquifer levels]]. Else, follow the procedure described in [[#Dealing with the lowest aquifer level|Dealing with the lowest aquifer level]].

Or you were just lucky and have encountered only a one-level aquifer. In that case you are starting with this:

−
{|class="wikitable1"
 
−
|-valign="top"
 
−
| [[Image:Aq26.png‎|frame|left|Secured level above the lowest aquifer layer]]
 
−
|}
 
−
 
 
−
In any case, we must now prepare our grounds for pumping the last aquifer level from one slit to another.
 
−
 
 
−
==== Preparing the grounds ====
 
−
 
 
−
If you have nothing but your probing downstairs, you'll be done with this step in no time:
 
−
 
 
−
{|class="wikitable1"
 
−
|-valign="top"
 
−
| [[Image:Aq27.png‎|frame|left|Dig three channels and build floors for a pump.]]
 
−
| [[Image:Aq28.png‎|frame|left|Build a pump pumping from the west.]]
 
−
|}
 
−
 
 
−
Once you have this, you can proceed with [[#Walling off the last aquifer level|Walling off the last aquifer level]].
 
−
 
 
−
If, however, your slits are filled with nothing but up/down stairs, things become more complicated. Pumps cannot pump from a source tile which has stairs. Yet you must keep both slits accessible for your dwarves. Therefore:
 
−
 
 
−
{|class="wikitable1"
 
−
|-valign="top"
 
−
| [[Image:Aq29.png‎|frame|left|Replace two of your up/down stairs with floors.]]
 
−
| [[Image:Aq30.png‎|frame|left|Channel out the source tile for the pump.]]
 
−
|-valign="top"
 
−
| [[Image:Aq31.png‎|frame|left|Build the pump (here: pumping from the east).]]
 
−
| [[Image:Aq32.png‎|frame|left|Start pumping and build a ramp in the pump's source tile in lowest aquifer level.]]
 
−
|}
 
−
 
 
−
Don't dig out both stairs of a slit. The slit must remain accessible at all times. Either via a ramp or via stairs. Only now when you have built the ramp which will serve your dwarf for accessing the slit, you can prepare the next tile of the slit like this:
 
−
 
 
−
{|class="wikitable1"
 
−
|-valign="top"
 
−
| [[Image:Aq33.png‎|frame|left|Channel out the other tile of the slit.]]
 
−
| [[Image:Aq34.png‎|frame|left|While pumping, build another ramp there.]]
 
−
|}
 
−
 
 
−
Now we need to place the pump instead of the other pair or stairs. But we must be careful not to lose access to this level from above. We proceed this way:
 
−

{|class="wikitable1"

|-valign="top"

6. Now for the last quadrant. We deliberately haven't dug the North-East wall under the stairs. Despite it being aquifer and leaking water, we need it to use it as a water sink now. Remember, aquifers can receive infinite amount of water, too. Deconstruct the pump and build it to pump to the opposite direction. It will spill some water on its level while pumping, but it isn't dangerous.

When you are digging the downstairs, better have the game paused and proceed step by step ({{K|.}} One-Step). There is usually some water on the level where you are digging from, which would immediately run down the stairs you're digging and make the level below damp. The only way to tell whether there is an aquifer below is to stop the at the very moment when your miner reveals the first tile of it. If it is damp before the water from your level has run down on it, it is another aquifer level.

If you see there is another aquifer layer below, you repeat the steps in sections 1-8. To dig through one layer of aquifer this way will take you 2 or 3 months in-game time.

Epic forum posters worth following[edit]

About me[edit]

  • I think Dwarf Fortress is the best game of all times.
  • I love to stream my gaming sessions on my youtube channel.

Articles I have written for the DF wiki[edit]

Things to do[edit]

  • rewrite Stone_management from scratch
  • rewrite Stockpile
  • Add stockpile settings info to the article of each item which can have its own stockpile
  • Upload images of most creatures
  • Add why some dwarfves like some creatues (e.g. Opah for their coloring)
  • Add butchering yields of creatues
  • Find out how often a creature can be sheared
  • Add grow time from crop (25 or 42 days) to the respective individual plant articles
  • rewrite Notes, make Routes
  • duplicating info: Melt item has info on how many bars what item is made of. Individual items' pages lack this info. Do it!

Personally, I like [DF] because after climbing the damned learning cliff, I'm too elitist to consider not liking it.

Dwarf Fortress: The only game where people will hold a logical discussion about why dwarves are putting on clothes.

Certainly you could argue that DF is a lot like The Sims, only... you know... with more vomit and decapitation.
  • Quote from: xeivous on March 17, 2012, 06:54:20 am
If we wanted monstrosities, we'd go play games that are a bit brighter than DF, like Warhammer 40k.

This is the game where "child care" is locking a kid in a room with a bunch of rabid animals to scar them, physically and emotionally, for years to make them better killing machines.

Quotes[edit]

  • Lie Lie​: The looks in DF look retro as hell but it is a behemoth in terms of gameplay, no game has accomplished this.
