a Mist Generator will also work wonders on dwarves and t seems to stack whenever a dwarf encounters the mist.
Most of my dwarves have over 4000 happiness (check with dwarf therapist) and it is year 3. And the 4 dwarves that have made artifacts have over 5000.
No. Nobody make that joke. Just don't.
Urist, what does the scouter say about his HAPPINESS LEVEL?
ITS OVER 9000!!!!
How large would a mist generator system have to be to successfully pump around multiple 6/7 squares of water?
From experience the water seems to collect together into 7/7 blocks even when 1/7 buckets of water are added at different times, So I'm not sure if you can get multiple 6/7 blocks.
Also when those 7/7 blocks of water overlap each other during the pump rotation (which does the mist generating) the excess water spills onto the floor.
I always use the design from here, or extended versions if i want a system through the fort.

and goddammit I knew someone would say that 9000 thing. so damn sick of it :/
Also I should clarify, the several thousand happiness was from .16 I haven't built any mist gennies in .18 to know if that's still around.
