I, after intelligently creating two empty spaces in front of a one-tile-wide floodgate, building a bridge over one, mining out a part of the wall to reach the second empty space and building a bridge there, I begin mining to a brook past my second floodgate, praying to Armok my miner survives the gauntlet of imprecisely timed lever-pullings, have successfully created MUD a z-level BELOW!

Man... this game is so freaking FUN. Greetings from half-way part-way somewhere up the learning cliff! And Huzzah's! Huzzah's for ALL!

There are easier ways to do what you did (look up Grates), but welcome!

Haha, I remember when I figured out how to get freshwater from saltwater. That sense of awesome is just great.
Welcome to DF, Tag! Glad you're figuring it out, especially with the wiki in such a mess.

You did it wrong, you're supposed to raise a Dwarven Rum Roast!

Yes, there are easier ways to do it, but only a few ways that are cooler!

Good work to you! And may your fortress drown in goblin blood!

Good work to you! And may your fortress drown in goblin blood!

Actually, pray that it doesn't.  The new splatter system is very CPU intensive with all its tracking and expanding growth.

Welcome! Looking forward to hearing more stories from you in the future about all the Fun you encounter as you learn.

Oh trust me, I know.

But easier ways aren't dwarfy enough!

Welcome to DF It's going to get a lot more fun from here on.

Psh.  I made a water tower for the sole purpose of pumping water to +18 (highest level I could and still put a roof on top) and letting it run back down some channels.



It's mostly hollow, but does support itself under the 7x7 Collapse Law.*  Total area is 100x100 tiles.

Tiny yellow "growth" on the left is the fort entrance.  I used 4 curved corridors with doors at the end to funnel goblins back and forth over traps.

*I bent that by putting in a few arches, rather than peppering the thing with columns, but it only save me having to build about 1/3 of those pillar supports.
