Underground River questions.
« on: June 13, 2008, 06:01:00 am »

Can I ever actually empty it of enemies, or will I have to have my mechanics construct the water-side of the machinery they'll eventually need to create under armed guard and then seal things up later and hope I don't need to unseal them again?

(In which case, I'd probably better make a whole friggin' bunch of interconnected water wheels, like, 1000+ power connected.)

In my experience the initial population of enemies is all you get. If you kill them off, they don't "respawn" or anything.

I think you're talking about underground waterlake or something (a pit of water) but in my experience underground rivers keep spawning life for eternity (just like a normal river). I have one on my current fortrest (not the spawning point of the river, but the end flowing down the underground river chasm) wich nomatter how many of the inhabitant critters die (falling down the chasm i guess) overflows with pages of life.

It's very strange.
I thought it's gone with the 2d version.

For me they always die out due some nasty waterfall/my marksdwarves, and never come back.
