Flood gates and pressure plates can only be used to open a gate when there is water. Why would anyone want to open a floodgate when there is water. Real flood gates are for stopping floods. Which means they're open if there's no flooding in an area, and closed if there is a danger of flooding. In DF, floodgates open when there is plenty of water to flood with, and close off the water if the place is dry. If you wanted water to flow when there is water in an area you might as well use a hole. That's how holes work. When there's water, water goes through them. When there is no water, not water goes through them. | Flood gates and pressure plates can only be used to open a gate when there is water.
