How to get rid of completely submerged trees (Solved)?
« on: September 17, 2015, 12:41:32 pm »

I've got a two level deep lake entrance directly under rock in my cavern. In that water a tree grows, blocking my ability to lower the water by blocking off the top level of the water with magma. I tried to fire a ballista bolt at the tree (standard method for getting rid of trees in water) through a fortification with the water entering through the fortification draining downwards and off the map, but it looked like the bolt disintegrated as soon as it hit the first square with water in it.

Any idea of another method to get rid of the tree (cave-in won't work since the tree is too close to the edge, which is the reason I want to get rid of it in the first place)?
Would channeling away the rock above the tunnel-tube tree cause it to grow up there to allow me blast it away? If so, any idea of how long that would take?

Edit: It turned out the siege operator was somehow just a bad shot. A third attempt eliminated the tree. I didn't think you could hit the walls in a straight tunnel, but rather that the walls would guide the arrow.
