− | + | Waterfalls, like any other falling [[water]], generate [[mist]] that gives your dwarves happy [[thoughts]]: "He was comforted by a lovely waterfall lately." (Mist makes [[dwarves]] happy even if it's just from water cascading down a [[stair]]way, which in real life might be more a cause for alarm.) | |

− | Waterfalls | + | Waterfalls can be used to drive water through a fort with nothing but gravity power: just push it through whatever [[channel]]s you desire and off the cliff side when it's done its course. Large reservoirs could probably be created by building a dam at one end. |
If it's cold enough for water to freeze, the waterfall will freeze as well, forming a partial wall. | If it's cold enough for water to freeze, the waterfall will freeze as well, forming a partial wall. | ||

− | + | You can engineer an indoor waterfall to take advantage of the happiness it causes. You need three [[z-level]]s to do this. On the bottom is the [[reservoir]] of water. The middle layer is the [[screw pump]] and the [[meeting hall]] where your dwarves will gather to enjoy the mist. On top is a narrow corridor that connects the pump chamber to the hole though the ceiling of the meeting hall. Under this hole is a [[grate]] that connects to the reservoir. | |

The pump pulls water out the reservoir and pushes it up above the meeting hall. The water falls down through the grate, back into the reservoir. | The pump pulls water out the reservoir and pushes it up above the meeting hall. The water falls down through the grate, back into the reservoir. | ||
− | + | Water falls straight down without splattering; thus, if you are creating an artificial waterfall, you need not account for "splash zone" on the viewing levels. | |
