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.

A list of objects controlled by a lever:

  • 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 - ?
  • Hatch - Probably opens/closes the hatch
  • Grate - Probably opens/closes the grate
  • 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/
