DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Is there really no safe way to dig a pit?
« on: April 01, 2011, 05:11:46 pm »
I want to be able to dig a pit without stranding my miner at the bottom of it, or having to wall off an exit out of the very bottom level of the pit that leads to stairs going back up. I can't seem to find any way to do this. I am stuck with one of these two solutions, or is there some other way that I'm missing?

DF General Discussion / Water pressure failure
« on: April 14, 2010, 08:34:05 pm »
I'm playing a 0.32.03 game (that was started with .01) and my water pressure stopped working. I'd tapped the stream, and was trying to flood a farm plot one level lower than the stream.

Side view:
~ = river
X = floodgate
. = tunnel
o = hole in the floor
< = ramp up
F = farm area
Code: [Select]
~.X...
     <..   oXFFF
       <....

Top view of Farm level:
# = wall
Code: [Select]
################
############XFFF
#####<..###o#FFF
################

After I opened the floodgate up at the stream level water flowed all the way through the system and back up to the farm level (being held back by the floodgate there). Then when I opened the floodgate on the farm level, just 7 units of water came out, and no more came up through the hole.

Have I messed thing up myself, or is this a bug?

DF Suggestions / minor cave-in has a gigantic cloud
« on: April 07, 2010, 08:23:59 am »
I was using channeling to remove the outside ground layer one level up from the entrance to my fort. I made the mistake (I think) of channeling a square that contained a boulder. This caused a cave-in (if that wasn't it, then at worst, a single square was cut off and collapsed).

This single square/boulder cave-in caused a dust cloud that was 6 levels tall, and probably about that in radius at the ground level.

From what I understand, anyone in the cloud has a chance of taking damage (and indeed, the miner was caught and badly wounded).

If this is the way things work, then the size of the cloud should probably be a little dependent on the amount of material involved in the cave-in. After all, a radius of 6 seems excessive for such a small collapse.

DF General Discussion / forum access problems
« on: March 28, 2007, 06:23:00 pm »
I'm not really sure where to post this, so I'll just do it here...

Recently I have been unable to access the forum using Mozilla Firefox (Windows XP). When I go to any forum page, it wants to save ultimatebb.cgi as a file, rather than opening the page. I have no problems with Firefox on another computer, and I have no problems with IE. I also do not have any problems with other cgi based forums.

So, does anyone have any idea what is going on here? It used to work just fine...
