Revision as of 21:38, 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:
+++

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.

For 4, what about this?

And then the floor can be removed or left in place; whichever you prefer. Random832 16:36, 14 October 2008 (EDT)

Unusual behavior

  • 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.
