| − | Often it's a good idea to block passage of [[Flood|liquids]] and creatures (whether to keep wildlife from getting inside or children from reaching dangerous areas) along the power transfer elements. Since [[machine component]]s are buildings, simply sticking an axle through a tile occupied by a grate or fortification is not possible. One can make an axle-train first going down the moat, across, then up (through a ring of floor over a 3x3 well to stop climbers) - though this still won't block fliers who can swim through the moat. Or perhaps a screw pump will make a floor-type security wall for a downward axle. The "wall" tile of a pump is also good for protected horizontal power transfer. This is used e.g. "[http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=144966.0 Invincible Windmill Farm]" by Tercicatrix. | + | Often it's a good idea to block passage of [[Flood|liquids]] and creatures (whether to keep wildlife from getting inside or children from reaching dangerous areas) along the power transfer elements.

Vulnerability of the pump "wall" to building destroyers needs testing, however{{verify}}. There's also an exploit: power transfer through the floor from a windmill down to a machine component built after it. Other than that, the most foolproof method is water flow through floor bars/grates. |
