Building a waterfall and stuff.  TIA!

I'm not exactly sure if I understand the question, but if you want to know if grates and bars offer support to adjacent constructions, the answer is no.

So, longer version.

Channeling out ramp, side view.  Going down and to the right.

Code: [Select]

If I fill the down ramp spaces with a fortifications, it will block water flowing down the ramp.  Because a fortification has an implicit floor.

My question is, will wall grates and/or vertical bars block water falling down?

Wiki claims that wall grates are identical to fortifications, but it seems weird that a wall grate would have an implicit floor.  Guess I can just build it and see if everyone drowns.

Nevermind, you can't build wall grates or vertical bars in open space.  It needs to rest on something below it.  So the question is moot.  Floor grates it is.

Was actually wondering if it'd even let you build in open space in first place, being more like a furnishing than a construct

[kingubu]

Yeah, the floor grates are working ok.  The occasional cat or peachick is washed over the edge.  Only a couple dwarfs have fallen, and they land on the grate below with no injuries.

I'm looking forward to the first births, to see how babies fare.  Muwahahaha!
