Testing stuff
« on: December 02, 2010, 12:15:34 pm »

So I was thinking of making a game or few to test out stuff I haven't tried yet. To those who have more experience I would like help with figuring out how the stuff works and to those who have less experience feel free to suggest some tests to do.

Probably a place with the stuff you want to test.

Seriously, you need to give a *few* more details before you can expect a decent response.

But, as far as stuff to try, might I recommend magma traps?  That's what I've been experimenting with lately, with lots of Fun for all!

How could I make working water wheels and connect them to screw pumps? Maybe I should use windmills instead?

quick answer: use the Machines menu, using gear assemblies and axles (designate axles as bigger using 'umhk')

While adding magma to anything will make it dwarfy, adding the word "magma" to your post does not necessarily make it funny.

Do whole aquifers still register flow forever if you pump into them?

The problem is that when I built a water wheel a few versions back it didn't seem to work. It was placed on a channeled brook.
