The BATTERY is self-sustaining through an aquifer exploit.  You start it pumping, then get the dwarf to stop and leave it be - the whole point is water flows amongst the aquifer tiles.  The power outlet is on the level above, and I've already laid an axle for the pumpstack. 

I didn't get NEARLY as much done as I wanted in my year because I spent a vast chunk of it trying to work out why the dwarves weren't doing what I wanted for Red Shield.  I had plans to go in and automate the water system, but a lot of that got left undone.


edit:  Confirmed with my own tests - Deathgate's BATTERY is operating correctly and generating a stead 9000 uW.  It should be higher, but I suspect that's because the pool's not entirely made up of aquifer tiles.

It isn't though. It should (just as the old BATTEREY did after my modifications), but it wasn't running when I opened the save. And it doesn't run at full power because the lower left isn't connected to the rest of the system.

Of course not, I never started it.  It's connected directly to the pumpstack (well, at least the planned connections are) and I didn't put a lever connected to any gearboxes along the axle.  The missed half-axle of power is due to me being dumb and needing sleep.  There's instructions on the BATTERY that basically state "Start the pump, break it down, then channel where it stood and slap in two more water wheels to complete the thing"

Ah, well then. Good.


edit: Messaged ignatzami. Hopefully he gets it.

If there are any unclaimed dwarves left, I would like to get dwarfed~ No preferences, just want to have some small role in this madness.   

[tryrar]

Ditto here. That'll be, what, Tryrar XIV?(Just kiddin, I kno its not THAT high....)

We now enter Deathgate's finale with its second to last player. Almost afraid to know how it will end ...

If I've set things up right; Fire, brimstone and dwarves trapped undeground counting the dead one-by-one.

If I screwed up somewhere; Peace, serenity and a quiet retirement.

[ThatAussieGuy]

This fort must riiiiise with a mighty bump.  Any sign of the guy next in line yet?

[EvilFuzzy9]

No idea. It also doesn't look like the first post has been updated to reflect the end of your turn, so I dunno what to say.

Anima sometimes disappears for short periods, that's not surprising, but what'll we do if Ignatzami misses his turn... Hmm.

[wlerin]

Well, Ignatzami logged in this morning... but I haven't heard back from him.

[Eldes]

Well, Anima's the last person on the list, so I would say that Ignatzami has until Anima gets tired of waiting for him. Just my two cents.

[AnimaRytak]

I honestly didn't realize that Aussie's turn ended already.  Glad that Werlin's on top of things though.
If Ignatzami doesn't answer, then I'll do my best to run Deathgate into the ground in the most epic way possible.

Deathgate - Last Stop: Armageddon!

This better end with all the dwarves screaming as they literally burn in hell.  Whether it's from lava or exploding booze doesn't matter.  Either way, this will be fun to watch.

Actually, that's not a bad idea... Anima, when you do your turn, would you mind streamlining the output of Red Shield so it actually flows directly INTO the small inhabited areas of Deathgate?  Hook it up to a lever and come Obsidian, *Urist McFinale has pulled the lever*
