[33g] melted water doesnt flow + multiple instances of &
« on: January 21, 2008, 03:08:00 pm »

Hi,

I dug a frozen lake, marked the frozen water to be dumped. I set up a dump zone underground -> the water melted. But it is not usable as water source, nor does it flow or become deeper. Insted of becoming deeper, several instances of 'stagnant water' pile up on the same tile, see screen shots

best regards
Paul

Yeah, it's an item, not really water. In the same way that melted stone from magma doesn't actually become magma. Though it should, then I'd dump a ton down there and fill my magma 1/7 at a time if it was necessary.

I see your point with magma. Still I really would appreciate if water would be water :-)

For my wounded dwarf in winter it'll be too late anyway, but anyone in the future running into this secanrio ( plenty of drinks but no water, winter -> a wounded -> he's stuck in bed without water! ) at least could escape it by melting water.
