Frozen waterwheels.
« on: March 07, 2013, 07:29:44 pm »
When a river with a waterwheel freezes, what happens? Does the waterwheel simply lose power until the river thaws, or is it deconstructed/destroyed?

I believe they are deconstructed, but I'm not 100% on that.

They simply freeze in place, and i'm 100% certain of that. I have a fort that built a bunch of waterwheels, and they have no power during the freeze but get back into action once spring comes around.

The waterwheel is not built IN the water, but OVER the water. As far as the waterwheel knows, it just doesnt have a flowing tile underneath it anymore.
