Up Waterfall
« on: October 08, 2009, 01:12:01 am »

Is there any method, what so ever, to create an up water fall? even for 1 z-level. Or atleast something that LOOKS like an up waterfall?

The only way to pump water upwards is to have a stack of screw pumps like this:

Code: [Select]
Sideview

 xXW
WXx
 xXW
WXx
   W

or with longer paths, but that's the gist of a pump tower.

So you could, technically, have a block of water, but I doubt it could be considered an upwards waterfall.

ah well. Too bad. It would have been quite epic to have such a thing on the opposite side of the canyon from the REAL water fall.

Ironblood didn't use an axe because he needed it. He used it to be kind. And right now he wasn't being kind.

I wanted to create spouting fountains myself. never could get them to work. Ziusudra's cheat is as good as I've gotten.

Toady typically doesn't do things by half measures.  As evidenced by turning "make hauling work better" into "implement mine carts with physics".
There are many issues with this statement.
