Where are pipe sections in the embark menu?
« on: March 02, 2017, 07:50:36 pm »
Where are pipe sections in the embark menu (that is, under which category?) I'm trying to break through aquifer using the double-slit method.

Bring some rock or wood and you can build a pipe section when you get there.  For some reason, I often bring wood with the expectation that I'll find sand and then make all my pump parts out of green glass.  It seems cooler :-D

I wish I brought more stone... I don't have enough left for building a lever and linking it to my drawbridge, and I'm too occupied with displacing flying undead raven heads to break through the aquifer and go get some more.

I don't actually know. But you should just be able to type in "pipe section" while browsing the add item screen and all the relevant items will pop up.

Tools, if I recall. Same area as wheelbarrows and stepstools. Might be wrong.
You would indeed be wrong - pipe sections cannot be purchased during embark and must instead be crafted after you arrive.

P.S. If you don't get this note, let me know and I'll write you another.

It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.

It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.
