Water through grates?
« on: April 23, 2009, 02:02:04 pm »
If I put a a grate over a water source can they still get to it? I know, a lot of questions recently but I feel like I finally know enough to ask sensible questions :)

No, but a Well (DFWiki) will provide a water source.

Yes, you should always apply more magma.

Your dwarves CAN fish through grates, though.

If you have lots of carp in your river, I recommend a big grated area for your fishermen.

Wells have a chance of having Dwarves fall into them... depending on your fortress and how you build your well it can happen with some frequency.

So it can be frustrating.

YES.  That game was awesome

It is alright... though highly unrelated and very misrepresented (unless I am the greatest Spelunky player ever)

Oh, I'm not saying it outdoes Dwarf Fortress or anything, but it was a lot of fun to play.  Hard, but fun (I gave up somewhere around level 7).

After I realized I could get a shotgun from any shopkeeper I was able to do a full clear- almost disturbingly quick after clearing from shortcut.

The Shotgun is pretty much tied for best weapon so it is up for preference.

Though there is only one part of the game where the OTHER best weapon is worse then the shotgun so it is probably the clear winner.
