afaik aquifers do not drip from ceiling tiles, since the tiles that produce the liquid are blocked by the intervening floor tile.

Yes they do. The hypothetical floor/ceiling is part of the aquifer unless (or even if?) the aquifer wall tile is dug out.

What happens if I build a wall under a leaking aquifer and then remove it - will if fix it?

I'm also returning after 10+ years of hiatus.
I think lots of issues that the game has (performance & various bugs, like the military) are outweighed by the depth and sheer awesomeness of the stuff we're free to do.
Let's just with the toads long years of life, iron health & unfaltering devotion to the cause.
I initially bought the game without really planning to play it, just feeling ashamed for not sending the postcards (is it still a thing?).
I'm ~100 hrs in, my 5th fort turned 7 years old, but it's struggling, and I'm definitely having fun.

Had (have?) the same problem.
I finally have my dwarves having archery practice after I did those:
- Have all supplies before setting up a squad;
- 1 use 1 target for 1 range with a bolt storage area;

- I also made several one person squads, and one big squad (no impact whatsoever).

I had a terrible werebeast  invasion: the monster was coming from the edge of the screen and as she entered my fort the full moon waned. Unfortunately for her...

So, is the situation the same 10 years later?
I haven't noticed any downside to having a 1 square passages - do they slow down the traffic?

At the moment my plan is to try to mine out all acquifer when I get a bit more miners - it's just the area the size of magma forge ~5 levels upward.

Hi there!
I came back with the steam version - awesome for people who are too lazy for tilemods. Moust support is not too shabby too!
I have this issue:
I'm trying to establish a magma forge.
While I was digging out the space for it (and the channels for magma) I got flooded.
Most of that area is an aquifer. I've smoothened everything: walls, floor.
However it didn't change the situation - my magma channels are completely submerged, my forge hall is 1/2 or 2/2 (there's an opening which bleeds water into some undersea reservoir), it's also submerged my barracks below, but that's beyond the point.
I've figured out that since I've smoothened everything it'd be dripping from the ceiling: I'm slowly excavating upper level (through aquifer), but so far nothing.
Any suggestions? 

Thanks for all the ideas, guys, will check them all out!
By the way what about the steam release - is it really really going to happen this summer?
Cause I'm pretty sure DF is on my steam wishlist since circa 2015
