How is it possible to make a magma-safe pump (or rather, one which does not degrade into its component parts), since pipe sections and corkscrews can (apparently) only be made of wood?

About the service area in the picture. You can use a door at the impassible part of the screw pump instead of using two doors. The dwarves can dig and move diagonally. --Altaree 15:38, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
it can be ... operated by ... using gear assemblies connected to water wheels and/or windmills.
A gear assembly is not necessary. It is possible to build a water wheel, connected to a horizontal axle, connected to a screw pump. The screw pump will function as intended.
Pump Speed
How much water do screw pumps move? Is it 1/7 of water per game frame? If you wanted to build a 1x1 waterfall that operated constantly without sourcing any new water, how many pump stacks would you need?
- A lot. I don't know. Less than one, so to speak ;) In any case, channel the water through a diagonal after the pump --92.202.29.45 17:16, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
Magma-Safe Pump
