This topic is to satisfy my paranoia/concern about a project I undertook in a community fortress; I am concerned about possible admission of undead horrors through a water wheel array.

I know that gears, axles, and wells are pathable, but are water wheels? I cannot seem to find documentation on that.

gui/pathable seems to think it is not pathable; but I want more info.

Creatures cannot walk through the central tile. That's shown when building already: that tile gets the darker "not pathable" colour when placing. Just for confirmation, i set a waterwheel in a one-wide corridor (non-working, on unbroken floor) and dwarfs could no longer reach the lever on the other side of it. The other tiles can be walked through and a swimming/amphibious creature should be able to path through the water underneath a properly turning wheel.

Understood.

Next time I get to run the fort, I will install a "Filter" powered workshop. (Something that accepts power but has unpathable tiles, that I can put in-line with the main power input, and direct power through on the output.)

Screw pumps work. Not sure what other options there are.
