A lever is a device that can be linked to other devices to control them. A lever is pulled through its q menu. A nearby dwarf will then pull it. Pressure plates are like levers, but are activated automatically by creatures stepping on it.
A list of objects controlled by a lever:
- Bridge - Turns the bridge into a drawbridge. The lever will raise/lower it.
- Door - Opens/closes the door. Note that once you connect a door, it is either completely open, or locked. There is no "closed, but can be opened by a dwarf" state anymore.
- Floodgate -Opens/closes the floodgate
- Cage/Chain - Opens the cage/chain/rope and releases whatever it held. This is permanent and you will have to reinstall and relink the cages/restraints after one use. You recover the mechanism used in the cage/restraint.
- Hatch - Probably opens/closes the hatch
- Grate - Opens/closes the grate. When it it open, it becomes just a hole in the ground, like you never built a grate there. Water still goes through, but it cannot be walked on. Anybody on it will probably fall through(more testing needed).
- Support - Blows the support, possibly leading to a cave-in if the support was the only thing holding the room up.
- Spear/Spikes - ?
- Gear assembly - Engages/disengages the gear assembly. When it is disengaged, no power goes through it/
