Drawbridges, on the other hand, smash anything in the way, and fling objects standing on top of them into the air or against the ceiling.Īfter that, I *think* you can set up another couple gates connecting to a long, straight tunnel that goes off the edge of the map. (Mine was in my hospital! About 6 levels below the ground! And I hadn't figured out how to make soap yet!)Īnd it's bridges, not flood gates - flood gates are too easily jammed open. Because if there's no place for excess to drain out, and the water level in your lowest reservoir gets higher than 7, it'll start to push upward and flood the floor around your lowest well. That will let you use levers to chop up the incoming water into smaller amounts if need be, or pause water flow and conduct repairs as needed along the series of ramps.
I do know that you'll want bridges in at least two or three places as it's being funneled downward. I've just finished my very first one of these, and I'm sure my build was inefficient and likely has problems I won't recognize until later.
