Building a screw pump requires an [[Trap component#Enormous corkscrew|enormous corkscrew]], a [[block]], and a [[pipe section]]. The construction itself is completed in two stages. First a dwarf with the [[architect]] labor must design it. Then a dwarf (the same or a different one) with the appropriate labor must complete the building. This could be [[carpentry]], [[metalsmithing]], or [[masonry]], depending on the material of the block. | Building a screw pump requires an [[Trap component#Enormous corkscrew|enormous corkscrew]], a [[block]], and a [[pipe section]].
