I mean, I still threw things it in, just not pumping it or anything!

Do you understand what is wrong here? DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT IS WRONG HERE? DO YOU?

YOU DIDN'T SAY MAGMA

[tommy521]

Ohh. Allow me to offer this, as a rebuttal.

MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGMMMMMMMMMMMMMMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

EDIT: In my defense most of my magma was on the surface via volcanoes...

To answer the op...

* Mapleguy555 pushes Necro over and walks in.

Waterfalls. Mist generators. Public baths.

I'm liking the public bath idea, should go well with the city I am building. And it's nice to see someone moderately sane here
I mean after lurking for a year or two, I've found maybe 5?

EDIT: On that topic, will dwarves walk through waterfalls if there is a floor grate?

[Mapleguy555]

Actually, Im stark raving sad. ( Typo intended. )

MWahahah.

Hehehe... Muahahah... hahahhaha...

COMIC SANSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!

[tommy521]

There's only two things certain on bay12forums. Necro910, and thread derailment. And we're not even sure about Necro910.

[Mapleguy555]

To answer that waterfall question, most likely not.

If you've only got 2/7 or so water falling down, dwarves will probably walk through it just fine.

If I used a pressure remover, do you think that would do the trick? I've made a waterfall before with two separate pressure reducers going to it but I'm not sure if people walked through it.

[Urist Imiknorris]

I don't know, try it and see. Most of my waterfalls involve a 2-level pump stack pumping 2/7 water above the room and dropping it back down.

Trapdoor-leading-to-crocodile-infested-pit trap. Build it in your mayor's throne room, and use it on liaisons who act unfavorably during meetings.

By the way, I would like to say that I am, in fact, very much sane, thank you very much. I would know, I told myself so just the other day.

[Urist Imiknorris]

I am the fun kind of insane.
