These two muddy squares appeared at some point. I am sure they were not there before.
They say they are:
Mud

That's not a bug. The river will do stuff like that to make it more "realistic".

I didn't code anything that makes permanent water go away in the cave river, so I don't know what's going on.  The main culprit for mud production is tower caps, but that shouldn't happen in the river.  Any type of debris being tossed around?  Ever have any structures there?  I can't think of anything.

which is why you should open source the code so we can all look at it (just kidding!)

That is the top edge of my tree farm, and I never built anything close at all. The only debris that I had was from mining or dead vermin. But I am really lazy with hauling stones and what not, so there was probably a lot of them laying around.


Wow, that is some pretty realistic physics. Mined stones washing into the river and slowly gathering mud until an island forms...

while everyone's like "whoa! awesome physics, Toady!" he's probably like "whew, well at least I don't have to fix it"  :D

It would be nice to know where they came from.  Who knows what other ramifications lurk out there...
