What to do with 14,000 power?
« on: March 22, 2012, 02:05:23 pm »
I recently constructed a massive Hydroelectic system by my fort, in a major river. It generates 14,000 power. My magma pumpstack should only require ~700. What to do with the rest?

Many waterfall generators. Each one takes 20 power plus the power train, so you should be able to get 600 or so. That should keep your dwarves happy!

15 level waterfall to test the irresistable attractiveness of mist in 34.05, maybe put a meeting area under it, with alcohol and salty pork chops.

Yeah, make a giant pumpstack to pump magma up to the top of your world so you can flood it with magma next time your in trouble. If you wall in the edge of the world (you can start about 5 blocks in) you can keep it from flowing off.
