Water for Fort right about magma *spoilers?*

(1/2) > >>

DeathToGamer:
so I currently have a fort on surface level. I am in the process of moving it right above / next to magma level for easy forging.

I was wondering if I channel down to a layer below my fort and make a lake, and then remove the floor on the level above... will it flood my fort? will water pressure force the water up into my fort that is 135 levels below?

Solace:
Depends where you're getting your water from and where it's going? If you dug a pit under a river, then probably. If you have enough outflow from wherever the water's coming from, then probably not. ... saving beforehand and then trying it out might be your best bet.

DeathToGamer:
i'm planning on channeling down a few levels then digging about 35-45 tiles over to where my channels down the 130ish levels at that point will be. Its coming from a river.

Quantum Toast:
If it's attached to a river then probably yes. Just put it through a pump at the bottom to depressurise it.

DeathToGamer:
do pumps need a continous power source? or will the run forever without power?
