ARG! (laughable flood)
« on: April 24, 2008, 06:09:00 pm »

oh gods...    this is sad....      first time using pumps to simply make waterfalls by the front doors.

pump it up 3 levels, let it follow through the channels to where it falls infront of the door..   and go down into the water below and join the drain into the chasm...


except when things get going....     all of a sudden my entire entrance is flooding cause the water below is 7/7 cause it wont drain into the chasm fast enough!


and to top it off, i dont think i have any way to get to the pumps to turn them off again!     due to a slight error in placement, the water is flooding the fire escape too...
