Can I pave my underground canal with roads?
« on: February 27, 2009, 02:39:48 am »
Constructed floors keep tower-caps from clogging up canals on maps with underground rivers.

Will this still work if I build underground roads?

If its a rock (not dirt) road, it can work, but i'd go with contructed floors.

Paved roads work just fine and though i've not tried myself, designating stockpiles in the channels works as well

You can allow or stop your dwarves from eating these mushrooms, but it's entirely optional and doesn't turn Dwarf Fortress into Dwarf hookah-smoking pad.

Just give it up already and pave it with chairs.

Or chains, then just tie a war-carp to every place.

Then it would no longer be a water canal as much as a grand deathtrap entrance.

I would bet money Andrew has edited things retroactively, except I can't prove anything because it was edited retroactively.

So it seems I accidentally put my canteen in my wheelbarrow and didn't notice... and then I got really thirsty... so right before going to sleep I go to take a swig from my canteen and... end up snorting a line of low-grade meth.

Yeah, stockpiles prevent growth - mainly I suspect to prevent the need for Toady to code up 'what happens if a tree grows in the middle of your stockpile underneath a bin?' Of course, he never bothered to consider 'what happens if 27 trees grow in the middle of your pump ladder and you spend a massive amount of time unwalling chambers and cutting trees to get your wells working again while 41 injured dwarves die of toe injuries because their yellow toe prevented them from drinking booze'. But it's good that he was thinking of the possible plight of my cat leather.

Right.

What does that have to do with using constructed floors instead of rock roads?

You'll, of course be wanting to use both, to raise your road, and fortress value, wont you?
