[40d] Able to plant/build on 'muddy brook'.
« on: March 05, 2009, 07:16:25 pm »
Pumping water about I had a major overflow onto the brook tiles, which turned brown but still animated as a brook. Just to check I attempted to build a farm on it and I could.

Just seems the odd occurrence.

Its not really a bug.  The brook has a floor on top of it so dwarves can walk over it.  If you get this floor muddy, you can plant on it just like any other floor.  Basically, the simplest implementation for 'river dwarves can cross' has other consequences.

Alternately: The Brick Testament. It's a really fun look at what the bible would look like if interpreted literally. With Legos.
Just so I remember

It's more like a feature.  Brooks are incredibly shallow in real life and are represented in DF quite accurately.  They're typically rocky streams that have 1 to 6 inches of water, and so the exposed/muddy bits are incredibly fertile from the constant deposition of silts.
