Revision as of 22:21, 21 October 2009
Is it possible to have a 'hanging' (for better reliability of power transfer) windmill partially supported so it won't fall?
i.e.
Windmill: XXX XXX XXX Floor beneath windmill: +++ + + +++ Layer below: ... .*. ...
Random832 10:18, 13 October 2008 (EDT)s ground
- I don't think so. Walling every tile except power-transfer in the middle still leaves it thinking it's "hanging". It wants "ground" and no substitute will do! Corona688 15:12, 13 October 2008 (EDT)
- In the diagram below,
- 1 should work fine,
- 2 works as long as dwarves can reach the building site. Any tile adjacent to the windmill will do.
- 3 is valid, but has no connection between the machinery, and
- 4 can't be placed.
Side view - = - - = - * * * * - = - - = - 1 2 3 4
For 4, what about this?
Side view _ * - = - 4
And then the floor can be removed or left in place; whichever you prefer. Random832 16:36, 14 October 2008 (EDT)
