Channeling from the bottom up.
« on: July 17, 2009, 07:21:47 am »
Thing is, I built a fortress completely revolved around having the river down one level. But I couldnt do that without pumps and I didnt know how to build pumps then. So I had an idea. Make it possible for the dwarves to dig upwards if they are trying to channel things if they can access it.
Or is this already in the game?

You can do this with ramps, but then you have to get rid of them. But I agree, channeling from below would be pretty useful in making taller rooms than 1-zlvl easier than it is now.

If you have stairs leading up on a tile, you can channel the square above it.  Or simply dig stairs, down stairs or up/down stairs count as being channeled out as far as water is concerned.
