You've just been forgotten roll'd!
We're no strangers to hate
You know no rules and so do I
A full massacre what I'm thinking of
You wouldn't get this from any other guy
I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you d-i-e

CHORUS
Always gonna fuck you up,
Always gonna strike you down,
Never gonna run around and desert you,
Always make you cry,
Never gonna say goodbye,
Always gonna spread disease,and hurt you

We've known each other for so long
Your heart's been aching because i stabbed it
Inside we both know what's been going on
We know the game and we're gonna play it
And if you ask me how I'm feeling
Don't tell me you're too blind to see

(CHORUS)

CHORUSCHORUS
(Ooh give you up)
(Ooh give you up)
(Ooh) never gonna give, never gonna give
(give you up)
(Ooh) never gonna give, never gonna give
(give you up)

We've known each other for so long
Inside we both know what's been going on
We know the game and we're gonna play it

I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand

Hello again everyone!

Because of this lousy sand, I need to irrigate regularity. This has in turned pushed me to learn how to use mechanisms and levers. Now, though, I have a problem. Is there any easier way to connect a lever and a door than going through the list, door-by-door? Because the target door just isn't showing up on the list, and it's a long list.

Thanks!

I don't think so. I'd say just use a floodgate. You aren't going to have too many of them, so it stays easy enough to find the one you are after in the list.

[Louist]

I assumed floodgates were like doors for channels. Since my farm is on the same level as the base of the water, and not below it, I just open the door for a few moments to flood my field, then close it again. Or can I use a floodgate in place of a door in this instance?

Thanks again.

[palsch]

A floodgate hooked to a lever is largely the same as a door connected to a lever, but there are differences. The wiki has more, but the main differences are;

- You can't open a floodgate without a lever or pressure plate. Before being connected they act as walls
- Doors have to be built next to walls, floodgates can be built anywhere. Passages wider than 2 spaces need floodgates.
- Floodgates have a 40 step delay before opening/closing when triggered. Doors are instant.

Because they need hooking up before they can be opened, it's worth taking care to not trap the dwarf who builds the floodgate. If the mechanics are busy it can take a while before they are let out. I usually build them before finishing digging the path. Basically;

____XOwwww

_ = mined out area
X = floodgate built here
O = wall to be mined
w = water to be released

Then hook up the floodgate, mine out (or channel out) the last square and start the flow.

There are also the numbers involved in a fort. I have 300+ doors (I like contained rooms and double doors...) and only 15 floodgates built into my ten year old fort.

And that's what I get for making assumptions!

Thanks

On a map with little/no surface water... How should I go about irrigating farmland? Dig down to a cavern, pray it isn't occupied by something dastardly, and make a pump stack?

I just noticed the new Little Questions Thread.  Didn't get much response in the old thread for, I guess, obvious reasons.

I'm using the no-music .06 release, but my mouse doesn't work for designating digging/foresting/etc.  In have the init file set to [MOUSE:YES] already.  Is this a known issue, or did something change that I haven't been able to track down?

Another option is to remove then rebuild the door.  The list is based on which is built first, so by rebuilding it, that should move it to the bottom of the list and make it easier to find.

Quick question:

I've got a pond grabber in my .06 fort's cavern and I have been trying to get my military to kill them since the rest of my dwarfs refuse to go near the spot it's laying at. Problem is it's one level below and my militia isn't using the crossbows I've been assigning them . Is there any way to kill it or can I find a way to lure it out and into a trap? I really just want the damn thing away from some gem clusters I'm trying to get.

Hmm...possible incompatibility with your system?
What OS are you using?

Does ice always unfreeze when winter ends, regardless of where the ice is. I ask this because I thought of a few things to do with ice, but I'm pretty sure it will all just melt away when winter ends. But is there some way to prevent that?

[quinnr]

I think constructing it into something will make it never melt.

Making ice blocks MAY do the same.

Crossbows don't work in 31.xx. Sorry.

I bought some animals in cages from the dwarf caravan- how can I free the animals themselves?
