This is a guide leading deep into the topic, giving advanced assistance for [[Dwarf|people]] who want to create their own dwarfputer. It does not stick to a special ([[Mechanical logic|mechanical]], [[Fluid logic|fluid]], ...) logic but tries to measure the adventages, disadventages and best practices from all [[Computing#Disciplines|disciplines]]. This guide adresses to people who are familar with the concept of [[Computing#Binary logic|binary logic]] and have a basic understanding of computing in dwarf fortress.

When you are dealing with [[Mechanical logic|mechanical logic]], you'll finally want or have to trigger something else than machine components, like doors or bridges. Currently, there doesn't exist any trigger in dwarf fortress that reacts on the working state of machine components, thus power on/off. So, you'll have to convert power via pressure plates, screw pumps and fluid into an on/off signal.

Use a 0-1 plate if you want to invert it. You can expand the design with a second inverted plate instead, but be warned of timing differences and possible fluctuation of the fluid. You'll have to include access doors, stairs or ramps. If you don't find another way to deal with it, you'll have to refill the pool on Z-1 from time to time somehow, because fluid at the plate could evaporate when power is off.

General[edit]

Computing in dwarf fortress is the practice of setting up complex constructions to perform logical operations and calculations, ideally to control some functionality of your fortress. This is a guide leading deep into the topic, giving advanced assistance for people who want to create their own dwarfputer. It does not stick to a special (mechanical, fluid, ...) logic but tries to measure the adventages, disadventages and best practices from all disciplines. This guide adresses to people who are familar with the concept of binary logic and have a basic understanding of computing in dwarf fortress.

Power to signal converter[edit]

When you are dealing with mechanical logic, you'll finally want or have to trigger something else than machine components, like doors or bridges. Currently, there doesn't exist any trigger in dwarf fortress that reacts on the working state of machine components, thus power on/off. So, you'll have to convert power via pressure plates, screw pumps and fluid into an on/off signal.

When the pump is connected to power, it will suck water from the pressure plate and pump it to the right. The water level on the pressure plate will fall to 0. The plate can be constructed to react on 0…3 water. You can invert it to get an off signal instead setting it to 4…7. In both cases the off signal will have a delay of 100 steps.[Verify] This gate is fluid conserving, what means you will neither need internal flow nor have to refill it because of evaporation.
