Same here except with two legged rhino lizards.
These things decay fairly fast though no?

Unless the cyclops is somehow a  member of the goblin civ, yes it should attack the goblins I believe.

If I'm not mistaken that refers to your abandonned fortress inhabitants uniting under a new name and starting to roam. They don't just scatter to the four winds. You might even find them in adventure mode I think.

Don't quote me on that though, I never did verify it myself.

I'm currently channeling row per row, but what the dwarf is doing is this

FFF  FDF CDF  CDC  CCC
                                 
                                BDB

F floor D dwarf C channel B dwarfblood.

I might try zigzag, channel half a row with one tile inbetween, then do the rest. If they still channel underneath they deserve to die.

I do think worldgen dwarves feed off underground crops exclusively no? Removing caverns is removing those plants, thus they can't farm them.

I would asume that"s why they'd die. No idea about kobolds, I rarely see them in my games.

Why shouldnt it stay 3/7? As long as the input equals the output nothing changes.
Only concern I had with your idea was that in the instant the hatches open, water will immediatley flow downwards OUT of your bath while the new water from the input would be still on its way to reach the bath - the amount of water in your pool would have dropped slightly depending on how far up the input hatch would be.

But nice engineering, I might try that

No no it doesn't seem to be so simple. The outflow of water is reliant on the pressure of the water in the body, so how high it is as well as the shape of the outlet. Whereas the input has a constant 7/7 source of water so only reliant on my channel shape. I think if I want to have a higher level of water I'll have to increase the input by widening its channel width and decrease the width of the output channel.

I guess it would translate to a fine differential equation if you want to turn it into math. water level reliant on input and output, output reliant on water level and outlet shape and input reliant on water level source and input shape. Complex stuff xD

Infact for the sake of testing I started with the bath filled 7/7 and let it stabilize, afterwards start empty 0/7 or 1/7 here and then from leftovers, and let it stabilize. It always ended up at the same water level.

Tried out the bath house, it's working perfectly. the dwarves love it, instant ecstacy because of a fine bath+wonderful waterful.

I love it when a piece of dwarven engineering falls in place perfectly.

If someone could give me some more insight as to why it stays on a nice 3/7 level feel free, this was mostly trial and error. Waterworks still elude me.
