mud blocking floodgates?
« on: August 01, 2010, 08:32:54 am »
just wondering... is a pile of mud capable of blocking a floodgate from closing?
I just flooded my fort when the floodgate I placed by the river started malfunctioning, and there was nothing blocking it other than a pile of mud.

No, floodgates will not be blocked by mud, blood, water, or magma.  They will be blocked by any object or creature however.

Lever Synchronisation? (if the lever is pulled again too soon the signal is sent whilst the gate is still considered to be opening/closing & is thus ignored).
