This is correct. I put an explanation on the main article page, but what I wrote may need to be cleaned up. I would have had a very hard time following what you wrote if I hadn't just figured this out myself from forum posts. Maybe we can compromise. :)

Revision as of 05:40, 5 November 2007

someone needs to find out what these thingies do Yeah really. I'm guessing they transfer power but I can't test that yet.

They do transfer power, and I am currently testing different things about them and sources of generating power. Brooks do not have suffecient flow to power a water wheel for instance.

I am stealing the key format and using it on the pages I edit. It should be used throughout the wiki and is the most clear representation of a keyboard key that I have seen yet. Schm0 10:12, 1 November 2007 (EDT)

Z0 to Z-1

Is it possible to transfer power from Z0 to Z-1?--Xazak 19:48, 3 November 2007 (EDT)

You need to:
  1. Z0 : Deliver power to spot adjacent
  2. Z0 : Dig channel (remove floor)
  3. Z0 : Build gear assembly over hole
    The space below the assembly is now able to receive power
  4. One of:
    • Z-1 Build a gear assembly to transfer power back to horizontal
    • Z-1 Build a machine to receive power
    • Z-2 Dig another hole to transfer to Z-2
I think this is correct - I don't have DF here to test. --Shagie 19:55, 3 November 2007 (EDT)

This is correct. I put an explanation on the main article page, but what I wrote may need to be cleaned up. I would have had a very hard time following what you wrote if I hadn't just figured this out myself from forum posts. Maybe we can compromise. :)
