| Summary | 0001622: Wells sometimes no longer draw water up multiple levels | ||||
| Description | I extended the irrigation tunnel for my farms so that it went under my dining room, dug a channel down, added some floodgates etc, and filled the area with water. Its 7/7 full but the well I constructed above it doesn't qualify as a water source or fishing source according to the zone settings. There is 1 z-level of open air between the well and the water, but that's no supposed to matter. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | 1)make a cistern 2)dig a channel down to it 3)fill it with water 4) build a well on the channel 5)designate a zone around the well 6)see it not qualify as a water or fishing source | ||||
| Additional Information | I don't understand, I've made wells just like this before in this version and had no problems. The only thing I can think of is the well is trying (and failing) to draw water from the cavern water 70 zlevels below. There's actually 2 different cavern lakes on different levels on top of each other on this map. | ||||

By digging down into the open zlevel, I was able to place a new well directly over the water which functions correctly. I checked and the well is definitely over a tile of cavern lake water as well as the cistern. |

If you designate the well as a meeting hall, dwarves should still use it properly. It sounds like the issue is that you're trying to zone the well instead of designate it. Dwarves can only zone-drink and zone-fish if there is an adjacent, open tile, directly below which there is water. This is behaviour that carried over from 40d - see http://magmawiki.com/index.php/40d:Activity_zone |

You don't need to designate or zone a well as ANYTHING to have dwarves use it. It just has to be built with access to water below it, with none of its parts forbidden. |

oic I tend not to designate wells as meeting halls to avoid parties. I guess I just never ran into this before. @Malicus Yes but I want to use zone only drinking and fishing zone orders. The map I'm on is dangerous as hell. ;p |

Is your problem "solved" (ostensibly - maybe there's a suggestion in here for "longer fishing lines") Derigo? |
|
|
@derigo All active wells seem to be considered automatically zoned. I loaded up an active fort, turned on zone-only drinking, and forbade all my booze. All the dwarves who had been drinking then immediately dropped their booze and bum-rushed my wells (neither of which was under a zone of any kind). Later dwarves who needed a drink also went out to the wells. If you want a dwarf to NOT use a well, then 't' over it and forbid one or more of its parts. |

Oh, sorry, yes it is "solved." Very interesting mallcus, ty. |
