Fun Chamber Refusing to Work
« on: February 24, 2015, 12:39:44 pm »

I am building a Fun (water death) chamber to dispose of unwanted dwarves, but when I pull the lever connected to the floodgates, nothing happens. I linked up the lever the correct way, I think.

I am using Phoebus graphics pack.

1) Some items needs some time to change open/close state.
2) Levers are sending a signal to "open"/"close" a floodgate (more here), not to "switch state".
3) Try linking that lever with that floodgate again. If you can't find that floodgate in linking menu, that lever is already linked to it - you can check the connection this way.

Maybe a drawing or a screenshot of what are you trying to manage would help, too.

Redid the entire drowning chamber, fixed issue. Thanks.

Have you find out where was the problem?
