One way to get the water up the arms would be to build a pumpstack elsewhere on the map and let water pressure bring it through a sealed shaft. This seems a lot simpler to me than twisted pump stacking in the arms.  On the other hand, you do lose bonus points if you do it the easy way.

Pumps are installed inside the megadorf. The next step will be walling them off correctly, then installing pumps down to the lava and water. Somewhere around 3-4k power will be required...

(EDIT: duh, somehow I missed the previous comment, so deleting stuff about the pumps)

Using pressure plates you could probably have a reservoir in the mug that emptied when it got filled up, so that the dwarf would occasionally take giant gulps of water instead of a constant stream. Then these would go into the bladder reservoir which might also have its own pressure plate emptying schedule.

As for the ass, in any case a vent from a miasma-generating stockpile should let miasma seep out along the magma chute to add some farts to the equation.

Three cheers for guzzling, pissing, farting, magma-shitting megadorf!

Might I suggest either the nostrils or the pupils play host to !!lignite!! followed by !!organic material!! ? Nostrils would make the smoke make more sense, but glowing pits of elf-hating fury would probably look better.

Should make the eyes out of glass, and then use the head as a prison.

The nose should be the prison, have two nostrils that allow for prisoner dumping.  :P

Stomach should be the prison, prisoner dumping should involve a goblin grinder, running water, & the back exit.

though a bridge based obsidian farm might be a good substitute for the goblin grinder (solid waste rather than liquid).

or you could just... you know, shit out the refuse...... :)

But if you were REALLY dwarfy, you'd encase the refuse in magma first. :D

When refuse comes out, I guess that makes it a technicolor fart.

Fixed that for you.

No, I'm commenting on the fact that everyone's apparent fascination with exactly what will be coming out of the megadorf's bum juvenile.

In fact, the entire concept of a naked, pissing, shitting dorf is juvenile, but the execution is top-notch.

You're right of course. Except I don't know if he's naked, I think maybe he's just wearing chaps?

Anyway maybe megadorf could have a briefcase or something, so the overall effect isn't so juvenile. Or glasses, to make him distinguished and smart. We need to get megadorf cleaned up so that the other megadorfs take him seriously.

Ah yes, because when I see a man wandering down the street in a suit with his bait & tackle dangling for all to see, I think "Gee, what a perfectly normal and well-adjusted human being."

Maybe Megadorf should get a khaki trenchcoat?
