− | How do I check for wind on my map? I built a windmill to test if a pump can desalinate water, but it's not doing anything. My fortress is on the coast, and in my experience those tend to have a lot of wind. | + | How do I check for wind on my map?

:Is your windmill outside? Have you placed your machine part (pump or gear assembly) directly beneath the center square? What does it say when you {{k|q}}uery the windmill? Also, please sign and date=stamp your messages with four tildas. [[User:RomeoFalling|RomeoFalling]] 16:27, 16 October 2008 (EDT) | :Is your windmill outside?

::I apologize if my formatting isn't correct, I'm new to editing wikis, I'll do my best to copy you and maybe figure some of it out. Anyways, I tore it down as I had no use for a non-working windmill, and it would have burned down in a grass fire soon after anyways, but when it was up it was indeed above ground. Directly below the center (floor removed by channeling) was a gear assembly. On the level directly below (again floor removed) was the unpassable tile of the water pump. When I {{k|q}}ueried the windmill, it said it needed 15 power, but was providing/receiving none.
