![]() Note that the flow of liquids will often move objects downstream, and potentially jam your gate. Once the object is removed, however, the floodgate will grind shut by itself. Any object, everything from swords to socks to stones to scorpion corpses, can jam the floodgate this way. Objects on the floodgate's tile, however, cannot be destroyed this way - in fact, the floodgate will refuse to close. This will destroy (not displace) any liquid occupying the same tile as the floodgate. When the lever is pulled again, the floodgate will close, after the same delay. Once the lever is pulled, with a delay, the floodgate will open. You may want to remove the stone or block left by removing the floor or it may be washed down to lower levels, possibly clogging another floodgate that is built on a floor or door. You don't have to suspend either of these tasks to get both to complete. ![]() First build a floor ( b, C, f), after it is complete mark it for removal ( d, n) and immediately designate your floodgate ( b, x). ![]() You can build a floodgate over empty space, e.g. This requires two mechanisms the mechanic will haul one mechanism to the floodgate, work for a while, and then haul the other mechanism to the trigger to complete the task. A mechanic must then link up a lever or other triggering mechanism to the floodgate. Adjacent walls are not necessary for placement, but are necessary for controlling liquids. Beware of linking multiple controllers to this floodgate, as another controller may activate opening the floodgate before this pressure resets.įloodgates are constructed orthogonally on a solid, completely flat, unflooded floor in the 'closed' position (Note that this means it is possible for careless dwarves to trap themselves on the wrong side of the gate). When flooding starts, the pressure plate deactivates, attempting to close the floodgate. Set the pressure plate to activate (open the floodgate) when 0-1 water, which allows using the water supply. This can be quite useful when built directly below a floor grate as this will allow you to quickly empty the liquid from the floor above without the danger of its precious contents rummaging through your sewer system.Ī pressure plate on a lower level connected to a floodgate between your main water supply and your other water controls can act as an automated safety valve to help prevent massive flooding of your lower fort. ![]() They are instrumental in controlled irrigation for farming, or controlled flooding for drowning annoying visitors.įloodgates also block the flow of liquid on the Z-axis, as they are considered walls when closed. Because of the usefulness of certain liquids and the danger posed by others, floodgates have a wide range of applications in any dwarven settlement. Floodgates are used to control the flow of liquid. ![]()
