DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Aquifer troubles
« on: August 23, 2012, 06:59:08 pm »
So I genned a new world that seems to be almost entirely covered in aquifers. The only place I found that didn't have an aquifer was haunted, so not wanting to deal with that, I just embarked on a nice looking spot and planned to use the plug method to breach it.
This is where I hit a snag. Every time I try to drop a plug into the aquifer, the section I cave in magically transforms into the aquifer levels soil type, and becomes an aquifer as well. So far I have tried a dozen times, on different embarks, and each time the same thing happens. Anyone have any tips on how to breach the aquifer that doesn't rely on cave ins?
