40d Talk:Water depth
Not sure what we need to verify this article. Another article has an unverified bullet saying that at a depth of four the dwarf can choose whether or not to swim, can anyone confirm that?--Richards 04:00, 21 April 2008 (EDT)
In one game I made my dwarves a swimming pool statue garden with two entrances on opposite sides (so that they additionally tried to path through it). I filled it to a target depth of 3+delta (average about 3.5 - many 3s and 4s). No one used it, and people pathing through it with items canceled orders because of dangerous terrain. After some time, it evaporated down to 3s pretty much everywhere with the occasional 2. Dwarves started using the statue garden and carrying objects through it became no issue. No one gained any swimming. Conclusions: (1)Dwarves can walk through 3 easily but not 4 depth water - they may be able to walk through 4 unencumbered, but will not use rooms submerged at that depth. (2) Swimming gains require moving water when the water is this shallow (my pool was static), as i've had dabbling swimmers from lower water levels in other games, but that water was moving. --Squirrelloid 14:38, 21 April 2008 (EDT)
