Pond Problem/Question
« on: October 23, 2010, 03:01:53 pm »
I have recently zoned an area as a pond in order to make mud, but my dwarves refuse to splash water on it. (And a side question: Can you make mud on stone?)

Every time they try to fill it, it says: (Mr. Dwarf) Cancels fill pond: Inappropriate building


Help please?

The area zoned needs to be above the square that you want water splashed on.  So perhaps make a ramp, then a wall so that they have somewhere to stand.  Make the square that you want splashed next to the wall, then zone it on that level above it.

Okay, thanks, but one more question. Is it even possible to get mud on stone? I don't want to do this and have it not even work...

and remember to make many small zones ... + have enough buckets for each zone ...

1 for 1

in case you wanna muddy larger areas you can even overlap multiple areas on the same spot for faster filling :) working well for x*6 rooms as well just from a central channel above
