Alright. I've got some experience building huge water tanks, but I'm playing with Quickfort and trying to find new uses for it.

I've got a template for a 10x10 tower that I put together, and I think I might try using it to quickbuild my water towers. I just wonder whether it would work properly: If there is a solid floor on every level, with the only connection being up/down staircase shafts, will water pressure still occur?

I'm FAIRLY certain it will, but I wondered if any of you have any direct experience with this sort of thing.

There's no written reports that staircases kill vertical pressure - in fact, some imply they help the flow.  (Haven't studied it myself, kinda obscure.)

I've had experience with this when I was trying to find a cave river. Stairwells do transfer pressure.

Stairs do handle lag better than waterfalls though, in my experience.

That's the deal here.  Stairs do NOT kill pressure.  My first well digging expedition I dug up/down stairs to the bottom of the map, dug over to a river and dug up/down stairs to the top.  The water flowed so fast it immediately drowned the miners who didn't want to climb stairs that were submerged and they died.
