I love how his nose actually has holes for the nostrils. epic.

I like how said nostrils are doors to the outside.

On the subject of the pumps I have a theory for an interior pumpstack where I  rotate them in weird ways to shimmy them over as the arms rise, I may have to flood the arms entirely to do this. I am not experienced in mechanical DF stuff, Should I make a ginormous windfarm on top of the hands, or try to move power from below? For that matter can you transfer power UP a pumpstack as opposed to down it?

Cross sections of the arms I'll have to work in:

Wierd pumpstack rotation: It may work, although it would work better if you removed the 1 tile up/down staircases.

As for transferring power UP pumpstacks, I don't know if it is doable or not, but you could always build vertical axles, unless I'm mistaken and that isn't possible.

yes you can send power up pump stacks.

[Bomepie]

My current theory is that I will submerge the pumps and the gears used to connect them in lava/water, I intend to have no separation between the intake and the output areas. I believe the initial activation will have to flood the whole place before things will work, but it saves me alot of wall making.

I did initially try to model it with legos but I ran out, these virtual legos intrigue me. The decision to make him piss mere water was because of the need to drain the beer. I will have to play with all the possibilities for the rear jettison hatch.

I am currently wondering what types of materials I'll need to make it colored nicely. Any suggestions for stone types I will need would be appreciated. Also I'd sort of like to have a functioning farm in the beard, but I don't think farms can be placed on constructed surfaces.

You could alternatively just recycle the same water.

Recycle? That sounds mighty... Elfish.

[breadbocks]

No, don't recycle it. Circulate it. End up having it make a figure 8. Up the arms, down into mouth, from the mouth to the penis (Which is too small. Far too small), where it goes out into a giant toilet on the ground, which then sends it through the ground, then back up the arms. Repeat cycle.

Far too small), where it goes out into a giant toilet barrel on the ground, which then sends it through the ground, then back up the arms. Repeat cycle.

Now, I don't mean to downplay this astounding achievement, but there seems to be no beard.
