DFhacking aquifers
« on: September 21, 2012, 08:27:24 pm »
I tried to use DFhack to get past some aquifers that were really bugging me by replacing the aquifer walls with obsidian. This doesn't seem to have worked. Is there some way DFhack can help me out?

1. dig a channel into aquifer
2. when fill with water use liquids to create magma
3. when water turns into obsidian channel through it but keep a 1 tile thick wall of obsidian around the new channel

I'll try something like that. I already did, actually, but went off the wiki's assumption that aquifers don't make water diagonally.
