> Waterwheels will start generating power in aquifer tiles if the water is disturbed via another channel into the 'pool' or a manually-started pump for a few moments, as the 'motion' has started. it can then be used as additional power for the pumps. | > Waterwheels will start generating power in aquifer tiles if the water is disturbed via another channel into the 'pool' or a manually-started pump for a few moments, as the 'motion' has started. it can then be used as additional power for the pumps. | ||
− | It is possible to expand this method to breach multiple z-levels. Just make sure your [[room]] on the next level down has a minimum of room allowed for this design. For areas larger than the design, break up the room into smaller areas (6x6 is reasonably workable) and pump them out one at a time from at least three sides (into another section when necessary, you only need one dry at a time), and building [[wall]]s on the outer edges. As you pump out additional sections, you can connect them, digging through the dividing dirt walls and building a wall between the two sections you've already built to complete the water-proofing. As a note, pumps can't pump if you build a wall in the space they're pumping from | + | It is possible to expand this method to breach multiple z-levels.
