Axle Question not found in the wiki
« on: April 22, 2009, 11:06:27 pm »

So I'm working with axle for the first time. They take up the tile space, I thought if I sandwhich between them, that the axle itself would block passage.

Now, I'm seeing dwarf walking through it.

SO how do I impede movement through the axle shafts I've made?

There's no real way to do it, outside of walling off the entire system.
Or if it's not a heavy traffic area you could just set the tiles that the axles are on to restricted, this would make dwarves path around them unless there's a LOT of traffic.

But, why would you not want your dwarves to walk on the axles?

I don't mind about that, I do that I just carved a side entrance into my fort escaping my eventual drown valley.

I want to keep out the nasties. If the dorfs can walk through, so can dragons.

Just use a gear/vertical axle and move it up or down a level, then back to the original once it's past the exterior wall.

Yea. That what I was thinking and will be implementing.

axles can hang over channels, so you can always do it that way, then nobody will be able to get around them...
