Sure you can.
But the  state of the connected object will be set to lever's state. That means, if two levers linked to one bridge, first pulled lever raises it, second does nothing, and then second pull of any lever lowers the bridge.
Except for gear assembly, it triggers its state to the opposite each time you trigger anything that connected to it.

My farm has become unmuddiable. I noticed the mud fading away. Now even with repeated irrigation the mud does not return. I have not smoothed the floors. Also does higher traffic on the farm tiles cause the mud to be tracked elsewhere? This isn't the first time I've lost mud for no expected reason.

New information. I just removed the farm, and I noticed that I did have the farm designated to be smoothed (this happened after I smoothed the walls initially, probably mass smoothed a couple floors) That being said they have yet to smooth them. Would just designating the floors to be smoothed cause dwarves to clean them? Can they clean the mud from under the water?

DF 40d had the concept of mud being tracked everywhere (although this meant just a multiplication of the mud
in DF 2010 however you only spread blood (and maybe vomit) by walking through it

Little Question:

On the upper left side of the screen, on the border that surrounds the game, there are usually one or two letters of different colors. Right now it says "S" and "C," I think. What are these?

[Lord Shonus]

Those are combat reports that can be read with the "r" key. A green H means that one of your hunters is fighting something. A red C means that someone has been attacked or attacked someone. A blue S represents sparring Reports.

it only shows me a a building list, where can I see the combat logs?

I'm building a set of 6 wells next to each other to provide my fortress with a limitless supply of water even after it gets populated by more dwarves. I drilled down to the cavern and all that's left is to place a floodgate, open it, carve a fortification and let the area flood. However, the area is filled with rocks and ores that have been falling down since I started digging. How do I quickly get rid of all of the items in these 6 squares by moving them elsewhere? I don't want to get "can't reach item" for the rest of the game.

[JAFANZ]

designate them for mass dumping after putting a dump zone as close as possible without actually being in the reservoir.

remember to unforbid them afterwards (& I understand you may have to re-enable them in the economic stones menu too).

The reports are under "r", not "R". Unless you've changed your keybidings.

What type of hauling do ballista and catapault parts fall under?
I want my siege enginner to take a break from producing ballista parts and de-clutter his workshop, but I've tried all of the hauling options and none of them have convinced him to move his ballista parts one square down to the ballista/catapault/ballista arrow only stockpile.

What determines how much wind power will be generated on a site?  Is there any way for me to tell when choosing an embark how much power a windmill will generate without having to actually embark and build one?  I have a grand engineering project in mind that requires windmills to generate 40 power, and I'd like to have some way of telling if a site will be suitable without having to repeatedly embark and build test windmills.

I searched for that the other day - unfortunately there sems to be no way to determine whether your map will have wind or not.
The wiki says:

A windmill provides 0, 20 or 40 power - it depends on the "wind" on your map, you either have it or you don't - it's constant across a map and time, and you don't know until you build your first windmill.

Now ay to know. but the wiki is slightly wrong. Unless it's changed since 30d, I've had wind be different from biome to biome.

Arg can someone tell me how to get the worldgen seed of a world in 31.12?
