You don't need to wall up when making a mist generator, you can have them just toss water onto a statue while the pumps running and it'll eventually start up. Also pumps can be stacked with just he lowest or highest pump being powered, and it'll transfer the power to the pump above/below it if you channel out the tile closest to the output tile.
You'll also need a statue or other movement blocking furniture on each tile the mist generator drops water on. If a dwarf or other creature is standing on a tile when the water hits it it'll soak them and disappear as a level (1, 2, 3, etc) and the mist generation will stop.
when I started playing Timberborn, I had to untrain some habits from DF, as I later explained to a friend: "because dwarves' second favorite thing to do is apparently to drown in knee-high water"
Awesome video. Tutorial was engaging and your editing is cool too (also thumbnail was great and the reason I clicked here in the first place.) You have the potential to make it big!
If moving boulders will take too long- putting a grate on the upstream side of the floodgate is a much quicker way to stop boulders from blocking it, once you're sure lever is well connected. (Since in my last fort I was a HUGE DOOFUS and forgot to set the lever before setting the grate up so had to rush a teardown and rebuild.)
@@VonGalactic Nah, I like that style where you go over doing your things and leaving room for new/returning (like me) players to experiment in-game or even go back a few seconds to watch again. I do admit water management is a bit of an intermediate concept for DF anyway. Your first video was a perfect example of a playthrough flowing organically while being also educative and not handholding (and it's VERY hard to find people who don't handhold or go very slowly on tutorials). I'd even say the previous one was enough for a beginner to deal with light aquifers (tl;dr "just dig and smooth walls"). Loved your videos! A shame there are so few of them, but I'll keep track of any new ones.
@@matheuspimentel3232 I'm glad you think so! Yeah I try to give information the way I absorb it, I find myself watching YT videos at 2x speed typically so when I made this I sorta catered to myself and if there are people like me out there :) I'll do my best to put out vids and I hope you enjoy the future ones too!!

2:54 A water source zone is not necessary for wells, as they are water sources by default. Water source zones are used on the edges of pools, lakes or rivers (on the ground next to the water surface, no need to put it over the water). If the dwarves have no water source zone, or well, they will use any water they can find.
Do you know how to prevent dwarves from stupidly dive into rapids and drowning at the end? I can never get them to build or do anything nearby quick rivers, otherwise I get mass drownings...
Presumably DF hack, there's a tool for revealing aquifers, as well as one for creating or removing them (I like using it to make easy wells that don't rely on excessive effort and engineering when I don't feel like the effort)
@@yaznot forgot to mention i just run df and dfhack in beta, so thats how i have access i guess? Check your steam you can opt into beta instead of release 👍
@@VonGalactic you see its very subtle but i had a suspicion brewing within the first few seconds, and i was sure of it after i heard you say "DF Hack", its the ach sounds in words that tipped me off. Ive faced similar troubles since i grew up around glasgow/Stirling in the rural places and visited my mum during school holidays in england. So everyone in the uk cant tell where my accent is from, even my neighbours of 4 years.

I pinned your message because that is super insightful, I've never tried it that way! Thanks for the info!!!

Did you know? 90% of casualties in Von's fortresses are from drowning.
the other 10% is 11 year old serial killers

Thanks so much!! I'm really glad you like it, I hope so too, I'm willing to put in the effort so fingers crossed xD
Damn fine water works tutorial. A lot of good stuff going on. Thanks for sharing. Oh, and I just flooded my fort.
The swimmers guild would be happy
neat, i just got into your channel yesterday, good content m8
Thanks so much!!! Glad you enjoyed!

How has the BBC not hired this guy to voice Documentaries....
Its a bloody travesty how this vocie goes unused like that!
Thank you for always being here for me super mod Shiny

I THINK you can just mark it as a no-go zone in the traffic designation system? I think that should stop them jumping in
Great video! Please more DF tutorial videos!!!
I'll do my best! I'm glad you liked it
now i wonder if you can make a door with water to prevent invasion tho.
also nice tutorial i would listen to that again the day i finally play it
I think you could probably create a big hall at the entrance, lure in an enemy army, then lock them in and flood it glad you liked the video
Why can you see the whole aquifer without digging next to it at 0:55?
I want to know too, wtf

@@Ytinasniiable Cool, thank you!
What kind of DF players want their dwarfs to have *more* braincells?
One braincell is enough for 220 dwarfs to share and you know it.
Good tutorial...
Yarr🦜🏴
Avasttt 🏴☠
such good content also tutorial wants me to play game :3
JOIN ME KAIIII
i see DF i sub ^^
gl with channel mate
I'll make you proud!
Didn't they fix smoothing not blocking aquifers now? I'm sure you have to place new walls down instead of smooth
No? I've always smoothed and it's just fine. You just gotta smooth all exposed sides including the floor above if its dripping through.
@@VonGalactic Wild! I'll have to try it again this weekend, I swear I read somewhere recently that they fixed it but it appears I'm misinformed 🤣 Ty!
Hello! Great content friend.
thanks so much friend!!!
there isnt a dfhack version for the recent 51.0 update, making it impossible to use unless you downgrade versions

Yes 😀
hell yes handsome

BIG RIP. (but to be expected from me)

@VonGalactic well it does wonders, loved the video and I'm subscribed for future instalments
@@crumpetsounds thanks so much!!! I'm happy to have you
Gib more.
check my channel!!!! theres a few vids on DF
Sure, it's just because there is hack in the name, no other legitimate reason.
Correct!
