Knowing how to manipulate pressure as needed allows you to quickly move fluids wherever you wish in your fortress allowing you to build things a dwarf can be proud of. |

+ | ===[[Fortifications]]=== | ||
+ | The simplest method for cancelling pressure is to build or carve [[fortifications]]. Water that flows through a fortification will push already-present water sideways, but never upward. Unlike diagonal connections, fortifications do not slow down [[flow]] (which can be good or bad depending on circumstances.) | ||

Do note that the screw pump '''will''' still exert pressure when filling the pool, but said pressure will be independent of the source and can be subsequently blocked by diagonal gaps. | Do note that the screw pump '''will''' still exert pressure when filling the pool, but said pressure will be independent of the source and can be subsequently blocked by diagonal gaps. | ||
