first floor
second floor
my drowning chamber is fed from my central pressurized canal (fed by stream).  main intake is open, all drains in system are closed.  when i punched the channel through to feed my drowning chamber it filled up to the upstairs floodgate(pressurized). yet, when i filled the chamber with my victims and pulled the lever the second level drained without the water refilling the second chamber and thus the first now only has 2/7 and its done....  how can i drown these 30 dwarves :S

do i need to puch through the wall on the same level (as i clearly was going to) i was trying to do it safer for my miner

It would be a lot easier to see what was going on if you put your diagrams inside of tt tags (it’s the button with a typewriter icon).

Also might help if you could provide some screenshots.

Hmm...

It’d be nice if you could include the images directly in the post using img tags.  That way we could see them better without having to switch tabs.

Also, I happen to be an ascii purist so I have no idea what I’m looking at there.  I do notice, however, that there seems to be water draining down a staircase in one of the images...

ya i use the down up down method (pressurizes to 1 zlvl below start) to secure my aquaducts from building destroying swimmers; i started with img tags but they didnt show for me, i added them aswell

[ltprifti]

i trouble shot the levers and when i toggled the intake closed and open it repressurized
it seems there were 3 squads of dwarves stationed there and the dumb mechanic forgot to pull the last lever to let them out :S sadly there were no survivors.... they will be mourned

I’m not seeing the images either, just links.  Does Imgur provide an option for “direct links”?

idk, it says "copy link" thats it

[ltprifti]

there is a .png that needs to be added it seems

[A_Curious_Cat]

Ah.  Now I can see the images!

Not completely sure, but it looks like you may have accidentally built a dwarven pressure regulator.  Fluids passing through a diagonal gap between tiles lose their pressure. Then again, I could be wrong and something else might be the problem.  As I said, I don’t use tile sets.

not at all.... look how the water is flowing along the stairway not though that diagonal (its blocked with a wall also).... that was gonna be the channel until i decided to do a drowning from above/faster fill time with pressurized system.... look where the water flows its not through that channel, i jsut could block it off with that wall i built at a diagonal, so had to do it 1 deeper

Also an ascii purist. Confused by the dwarf (Possible statue?) to the diagonal right of the red gemstone in the wall. Is it holding back fill-level-2 water? Is it a dwarf who is a water bender preventing the flow from going further? Is it a wall which is carved, perhaps? What does it represent?

Anyhow, far as I can see, the water is flowing up from the fill-level-7 canal, and then down into the fill-level-2 water pool, and that's why there just isn't that much water in the canal on the upper level (which presumably has dwarves in it, or statues in it, hard to tell), because the water has somewhere to go. Once the lower canal fills, the upper one will fill also.


...I have a different question. Why are you drowning perfectly good short sturdy creatures, fond of drink and industry...?
