Super waterfall!
« on: July 06, 2008, 06:15:12 pm »

What is the widest and/or tallest waterfall you have ever found or created?

Or maybe a mechanic, if given enough time to prepare.

I made a 69 z-level tower, and then added a hell of a lot of pumps to it..
Took a while for the water to get up there.  Not nearly as long for it to get back down.

How long did it take for your slaves dwarves to build the thing? What are the dimensions for that? Why 69 (stop laughing)? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ???

I think you just gave the reason in your question there ;)

The tallest natural waterfall was a brook (obviously) of about 50 z levels high (if i remembered correctly and excluding underground rivers wich never end), the widest a 1 z level high mainriver (didn't count exactly how wide).

I found a main river waterfall that falls like 10z's down. It sucks up your fps though. I was running at 40 1 minute into the fort. It was in a 4x5 area too.
