Tip for saving space when building water wheels
« on: January 24, 2008, 09:29:00 pm »
You can build water wheels right next to other water wheels, without any axle in between.  This saves power as well as space.  This is easiest on maps with brooks, because you don't have to build bridges.

FYI, brooks cannot power water wheels, only rivers and dwarf made channels.

Magnnus:  FYI, you can dig a channel over the brook.  Read the wiki.
