I'm over here in the dark ages celebrating flooding a cave floor to fill it with mud and making an underground pasture.
I didn't even know these things were in the game.
Urist UngaBungaMacFadden also has mastered mud farming, at novice level.

Thanks for this. Worked 100x better than the jank pos I was trying to do! My 130 z-level pump stack to get water to the top of my volcano fort finally works!
Loving the quick and concise tutorials! Can you do one on moving lava around with minecarts?
Can you please do a guide on defenses such as good defensive structures for forts and making use of siege equipment and traps?
+1 on this. Fortifications and such would be a neat to know how to do.
@@TheVillainCity until ranged units don't hurl themselves through fortifications, they aren't worth using except as simple grates and shotgun barrels
So pleased this exploit exists, im making a trap near the surface that is supplied by a magma pump stack. It's my first real dwarven engineering project :) Thank you for this tutorial!!
Lisa! Get in here! In this house we OBEY THE LAWS OF THERMODYNAMICS!!
This is crazy! Thanks for the guide!
Just amazing. Really great guide. I've never really done more than a single windmill but this seems really easy to set up.
I WISH I had this tutorial when I was learning DF.
Thank you Further for this helpful and informative video!
I can not post a gif to demonstrate due to youtube filtering external link in comment, if you place a water wheel over water which once flowed off the map, the wheel will turn even if the water ceases flowing. I would guess this is due to the game wanting to optimize water wheel on rivers, so it assumes flow for bodies of water that touched map edge and only tests depth.
So if you have water is w, water wheel t, map edge/fortification a, raisable bridge b
t
w w w w w w b a
The wheel can turn whether the bridge is raised or lowered, provided the water flowed off edge at least once. The water level still must be at least 4/7, but it can be static, low lag, 7/7 water and still turn the wheel.
Oh wow, that is really interesting! Thanks for the tip!
Good to see it still works
Thanks for keeping your video under 10 mn. I just don't have time to watch a 'let's play' of 1 to 4 hours, and this is how some UA-camrs see their activity.
The algo is currently pushing for long-form videos.
My usual content creators are editing longer videos between 20-40 minutes and that's fine, but some of them are just posting 4 hour streams unedited.
Lazy.
Looking for a normal length lets play of 10-20 min is getting harder too, but I'd rather have longer content than short one minute clips. I value my attention span...anyway, off to work. strike the earth etc...
@@snickle1980 Yes, I agree. I'm not advocating for 1 mn video, this is not tiktok! Just that 40 mn is a long time to devote to a single topic when you have other activities in your life.
@@philippemalacher2649 True...those 40 minute videos are great to string together for sleep though. No part of the buffalo is wasted. 😄
Shout out to those half-hour “tutorials” which are actually Let’s Plays in disguise.
This was a great tutorial, thank you!
The fact that DF includes perpetual motion machines kind of bothers me, but as long as you have them, you might as well make something cool with them I guess lol.
Cool build, thanks for sharing.
water is powering the water wheels..no water no power.. its called over unity machine not perpetual motion.. i think..
Real machines are sub-unity, you get less power out than you put in, to make perpetual motion you need at least unity, over unity allows you to run in perpetual motion and power other things as well.
Best tutorials in the gane my man. Many thanks!
thanks bay12, newton is crying
Question: instead of making all those screw pumps with 4 water wheels, why not just expand a single pump by just adding more water wheels? Is it something to do with initially starting the generator?
The water exiting from the pump won't go much further left or right.
Thank you!
it's actually giving you 379 power 2:08
I got the math wrong again! D:
I am not going to touch lava again in this game if they haven't yet fixed fps death. Saddest fort loss I ever witnessed.
I don't know if it's because i'm drunk or because it's DF but even a good made tutorial made my head hurts.
So is this actually a bug? (The water wheel/pump system is generating more power than it uses) Defying the laws of physics seems like a bug...
@View Bot The electrical energy from a hydroelectric dam is generated from the gravitational potential of the water flowing through them. That water did NOT get pumped up to have that potential energy by the hydroelectric system itself. That water got there by the natural water cycle that deposits it into mountain ranges via precipitation where it drains into the river where it will go straight into the hydroelectric dam.
So yeah, how do you think hydroelectric dams work irl?
But its okay I did my due process and found on the DF wiki:
Perpetual motion
Due to the relatively low power draw of a screw pump, a self-powering assembly can be made with a water wheel that still leaves plenty of excess power for other uses. This is undeniably an exploit and possibly a bug.
Power of the sun in the palm of my hand 🤣
Have you noticed a FPS impact from that many reactors?
It was fine, both with this + the 160 pump stacks! but my computer is pretty beefy!
If only you could do this in real life
Hey another great vidio man. !rocks3
roooooocks!
"Petrified door" What did you do to that poor door, sir? Those doors seen some shyt.
Is that a drunken brawl notification I see? RIP fortress, better start a new one.
I like this, you sound like i would a watermelon imagine to sound. :3
Can I fill reactor with water by setting a pond and make dwarfs manually fill it? (for the sake of beauty of the design? No additional channels and stuff) will it work?
Yeah it will work but it will take ages
@@FurtherReadingTV hard labor always pays out lol, thx!
I literally just watched the video and said "well, i dont really have access to a large body of water safely, wonder if i can use a pond to get at least 4 wheels going :D How did it work for you?
I'm sure this will become clear when i try this, but what is powering the lava screw pumps on different levels from the one on the level with the water wheels? Don't the lava screw pumps need to be connected by gears/shafts going all the way down too? I don't see how the power travels all the way down to the bottom level screw pump by just connected that one 100 levels above it
The channel below the horizontal part of the T allows each screwpump to be touching each other, which transfers the power between them.
How do all the lava pumps get power? Just from being built ontop of eachother?
Something like that, yeah! I'll go over it more in the next video.
I’ve seen a couple videos on this and I’m wondering could you add the water to the system with buckets?
You can but it'll take a while. Each bucket is 1/7 of depth and its 22 squares to fill iirc, so that's like 154 pours.
this is the dwarven fusion reactor
Any reason why the reactor would stop every minute or so?
Maybe you have only a small bit more power than you need so when the water moves in an odd way it turns off the pumps? Try adding an extra reactor to see if it stabilizes.
well I suppose I didn't have the optimal amount of water, I switched to the single wheel on each side version from the wiki with exactly 63 units of water and it works flawlessly with no evaporation.
all those reactors to power another screw pump?
They were built to power 160, but I got the math wrong and built 2-3 times more reactors than I needed!
Ayyyyyyyyyy
WHY YOU NEED SOO MUCH ENERGY????
I'm bad at math.
2:05 Btw, 400 - 21 != 389
German?
Nope, I'm irish!
