As much water and power as you want, wherever you want, whenever you want.Īquifers can be a resource of immense power. Using an aquifer as drain for the reservoir will nullify the risk of flooding the fortress due to the drain not keeping up with the supply.

If your river's a long way away from your fortress, building a trans-map axle may be less efficient than building an aqueduct and pump stack driven by waterwheels in the river.

Use captured monsters in cages to spell messages.ĭifficulty: Medium. Although they have been known to awaken when drenched in water, possibly due to thinking it's alcohol, making an alarm clock is not impossible, if carefully prepared. They'll sleep through anything the noise. Usefulness: None for fortress mode, but filling it with high-quality equipment can certainly be useful for adventure mode.Īre your soldiers all sound asleep while blood soaks the walls? No need to deconstruct their beds one by one, if you bought the Dwarf Wakey 3000! Simply a solitary floor tile balanced on a support, one or more can be toppled with the pull of a lever to produce an earth-shaking racket that'll have them leaping for their axes! Building a fortress is now possible inside of adventure mode as of DF v0.43. Breaching the caverns or hidden fun stuff should ensure the fortress is occupied. You can either make a nasty monster-filled challenge, or a smörgåsbord of masterpiece adamantine weapons and armor.
