Btw, is there any way to replenish my cistern after it gets dry?
The first water was made dy dropping some natural ice down there,
but when I try to add some more via building and dropping ice wall or floor
all I get is some damn ice boulders.
Yes, they turn into water, but not the one for drinking - it`s pale blue
one that creates a 'cleaning' job. So all I see with 'k' there is:
water
water
water (2/7)

You can collapse another cistern, and connect them via a lower-zlevel-channel/tunnel

Code: [Select]
...   .......   .......
###   #######   #######

... ice layer
### rock layer
~~ water
%% pump to wherever you need.

Connect more collapsed cisterns when necessary.

Well, thats the way I do it now, just looked for a less-terraforming way.
So, for now the only opportunity is to have magma or aquifier.

Also, does a trick that allows to make sand stairs into soil still work?
Didn`t work for me, but maybe I`m doing something wrong?
