DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Automated/Super-efficient Hauling?

« on: August 19, 2011, 08:19:38 pm »

Sorry about the necro but I am just building something like this and I`d like to ask a few questions in order not to build in vain.

I have a desert biome in a far away corner of my map and I want to make glass. I read here that water destroys items but does that mean I can`t transport things like sand and stone? Also, would it destroy cages? I was thinking about sending military reinforcements to far away areas via water pushing puting dwarves or animals in the cages and having a hermit to open them when necesary.

I also didn`t knew about the need of a change of z level every 10 tiles, is that the same if the water is pressurized at the source? can`t I make a big tower full of water and flush the things to their destination?

thanks in advence

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Damming a river

I have a very similar question so Ill post it here.

I wanted an underground chanell, so I channelled a river. However, I made a mistake and water started flowing in before the tunel was done, my dwarfs almost drowned. After I saved them, I wanted to dry the chanell so my dwarfs could finish the tunel. I made a bridge wanting to put a wall over and collapse it, but it didn´t worked becouse I could not build a wall over the bridge. Then I built a wall and another one one level up and one tile north (the river was north of the wall bellow) I don´t know how the wall can be there. I destroyed the wall bellow and the first wall fell, that only gave me a rock on the river. Then I told my dwarfs to dump all the rocks in the chanell but it didn´t worked either. The distance is to big to make a chanell that reaches a lower area in order to dry my first chanell (and maybe Ill not be able to use the first chanell again if I do that).

So, is there a way to collapse something other than naturall mountain rock in order to block a one tile chanell?

Hello,

I am just learning the game, remembering all the symbols is hard for me, so I searched for tiles and found the Dystopian Rhetoric tiles. They help a lot but I miss the music that came with the game when I firts downloaded it. Is there anyway to have both?
