Hi all. I just noticed something strange. I have a fortress without flowing water where it is hot (the ponds dry up) The evaporation depends on weather it is covered or not (I verified this 40d) But, if it is covered, then it doesn't refill with rain. So I thought, how about a retracting bridge. Nope. Even if it is retracted, the pond doesn't refill when it rains. Oh well. Probably has to do with the construction note above.[[User:Kwieland|Kwieland]] 23:16, 19 January 2009 (EST) | Hi all. I just noticed something strange.

As an addition to the info regarding bridges constructed at the end of bridges, apparently you can build walls and floors at the end of bridges as well, but upon completion, they collapse, along with the dwarf who was building it. I only tested with a retracting bridge, but I see no reason the same wouldn't apply to drawbridges. Of course, this information isn't really useful, but a warning on the page would be nice. Actually, I suppose it would make an innovative way of killing off masons. --[[User:Mikaka|Mikaka]] 05:12, 23 April 2009 (UTC) | As an addition to the info regarding bridges constructed at the end of bridges, apparently you can build walls and floors at the end of bridges as well, but upon completion, they collapse, along with the dwarf who was building it.

:I just discovered this the hard way, when my mayor / broker / manager / legendary carpenter / only architect attempted to build a floor at the end of a bridge, only to plummet to his watery death in the ocean. Plans have been drawn to drain the ocean into the aquifer in retaliation. ~ [[User:Eidako|Eidako]] 05:46, 27 June 2009 (UTC) | :I just discovered this the hard way, when my mayor / broker / manager / legendary carpenter / only architect attempted to build a floor at the end of a bridge, only to plummet to his watery death in the ocean.

Backstory: my new fort's entrance is accessible only via a bridge over the magma pipe, using two 3x10 raising bridges on the edges and a bunch of constructed floors in the middle (and constructed walls along the edges), and I recently decided to rebuild it with 3x2 raising bridges on the edges and retracting bridges in the middle (for dropping goblins into the magma, or for clearing away magma pumped onto the bridge). In order to do this, though, I would need to deconstruct the existing floors, removing the only path out of my fortress (except for the walled-off back door which I'd rather not reopen), so as a test, I attempted to build a retracting bridge '''over''' the floor and then remove the constructed floors underneath it. Amazingly, it worked, and it even left the building materials sitting directly on top of the bridge rather than falling into the magma pipe. --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] 14:00, 3 September 2009 (UTC) | Backstory: my new fort's entrance is accessible only via a bridge over the magma pipe, using two 3x10 raising bridges on the edges and a bunch of constructed floors in the middle (and constructed walls along the edges), and I recently decided to rebuild it with 3x2 raising bridges on the edges and retracting bridges in the middle (for dropping goblins into the magma, or for clearing away magma pumped onto the bridge).
