Thanks @Maolagin, great explanation, cheers!

the water falling through the corridor will interrupt pathing from time to time unless you very carefully control the size of the water stacks. So in most cases, such a setup will be less FPS-friendly.

A while back someone did some science with mist and fortification suggesting that you can use waterfall along side the main staircase like this:

xxx╬
xxx╬▓
xxx╬

Seems like a another nice solution, that allow to generate positive thoughts from mist through the main arteries of your fort without much drawback. Though iirc it didn't actually work in my test, possibly because I only used a light aquifer to feed, any idea if that should work?

[Flying Dice]

Light aquifers need a very high surface area of aquifer filling a very small volume, but they can be made to work.

One way is to have a cycled release tied to a pressure plate, such that water is released in occasional spurts. That way you still get bursts of mist but don't need constant high-volume flow.

For a light aquifer you need more surface area, so I tend to make a fractal of mineshafts horizontally the light aquifer (especially if the aquifer levels happen to be full of useful mineable minerals!) and then have a floodgate lower down for shutting off the water from the aquifer fractal if a crown manages to get sucked into a whirlpool or something (my well-cistern floor always seems to be full of such surprisingly well made stuff!).
