How to drill through an Aquifer
Hans Lemurson and QuantumMenace have developed a method how to drill through an aquifer of unknown thickness. In my opinion their original forum thread describing this method is extremely hard to learn from, so before you end up like me spending days of figuring out what the DF gurus actually meant, here is a more newbie-friendly version.
Even in this newbie-friendly tutorial it won't harm if you first train this on an embark which you don't intend to play after you've made it through the aquifer. Therefore I suggest you take this embark setup:
Suggested embark setup
- 1 Proficient Miner
- 3 Proficient Masons
- 1 Proficient Carpenter
- 1 Proficient Woodcutter
- 1 Proficient Mechanic
sell the anvil to buy:
- 30+ stones (you will need 16 pieces of building material per aquifer level)
- 4 logs (to build a carpenter's workshop and a pump)
Make sure you have at least:
- 1 (battle) axe
- 1 pick
to cut down trees and mine
Procedure
Preparation
Using your logs of wood, you
1. Build a carpenter's workshop
Your carpenter will use this workshop to craft
2. a block
3. an enormous corkscrew
4. a pipe section
5. Dig a 2×2 staircase until you reach the aquifer layer.
