DF2014 Talk:Double-slit method

"The general method still works fine, however, constructing walls on a tile a pump is sucking from does not seem to work, any more (stuck at "nearly done", always "building site submerged"). Thus, on the final level you'll have to build that wall after relocating the pump. Don't forget to build it, though, or there just might be too much water to evaporate once you're finished. Someone please do screenshots etc and so on and stuff."

I went through the double-slit method last night step by step as listed and experienced no problems with it. I don't know how constructing walls on a tile a pump is sucking from doesn't work - the constructing wall shouldn't be submerged if the pump is sucking water from it.

Nagidal, author of the article writes: From this description I can't understand at which point exactly you could not proceed. Somebody already reports no problems with it, so maybe you try again following the tutorial more closely. I am currently busy with an ongoing non-aquifer fortress in 40.04, I will try to verify the double-slit method as soon as I'm done with it. I might as well rework it taking Panando's shortcut shown in the linked youtube video. --Nagidal (talk) 17:21, 27 July 2014 (UTC)

I've just tested this on a single-level aquifier, can confirm that there doesn't seem to be an issue. I'm going to remove the top bit, until someone else experiences problems. Hagger (talk) 16:36, 18 September 2014 (UTC)

OP here, just for the record, I just tried again in .23 with a two-level aquifer and it indeed does work. I'm also bloody sure that it *did't* work in an earlier version, but whatever. 80.171.41.191 15:34, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

Lots of Missing Images!

Back with v0.34, this was considered a ☼Masterwork☼ page. However, sadly, about a third of the images in this tutorial are gone! I've looked through the page history. But all versions are missing the same images - going back to Nagidal's original page for v0.34. With so many images missing, it's difficult to near impossible to follow this tutorial. Is there any chance that someone can recover the missing images? (I sent Nagidal a PM about this via the forums. But he hasn't been on in the last 6 weeks.) Did the files get corrupted or misplaced somehow? Also, until this is fixed, should page quality be reduced to xTatteredx or +Fine+ ? --Thundercraft (talk) 10:44, 18 May 2016 (UTC)
