Liquids, Barrels, and Ponds.
« on: July 17, 2010, 10:51:17 am »

I think that any in-game liquid should be able to be put in a barrel. Water, Alcohol, Magma(in metal barrels), Blood, Posion, etc.

Additionally, you should be able to fill ponds with any liquid you have.

Mainly I want blood pools.

Adding in more things to be treated like fluid was actually common longer ago, but hasn't been seen as much recently.  (Blood is popular.) The problem with that is that it would require a complete overhaul of how map data is stored, since there's only a boolean bit toggling between magma and water.
