"You can engineer an indoor waterfall to take advantage of the happiness it causes. You need three z-levels to do this. On the bottom is the reservoir of water. The middle layer is the screw pump and the meeting hall where your dwarves will gather to enjoy the mist. On top is a narrow corridor that connects the pump chamber to the hole though the ceiling of the meeting hall. Under this hole is a grate that connects to the reservoir."
Wouldn't you need two screw pumps? --Gairabad 19:54, 28 November 2008 (EST)

You do. Since there are a whole lot more ways to engineer an indoor waterfall, and since this wiki generally tries to avoid telling players what exactly to build, I'll rewrite that. --Savok 20:39, 28 November 2008 (EST)


Engingeering Methods

I think this article is doing a disservice. The wiki certainly does mention engineering methods and tips in many places (such as the excellent screwpump article.) It might be warrented noting things like what causes the happiness, for example - do you need to engineer it so that they merely see it, or must they walk through the mist? If the latter, is there a risk of flooding your fortress by building rooms exposed to the interior of an outdoor waterfall, and so on. The article as written is a bit barren.
