No save that I can give you, just a bug report.

Brooks are supposed to be gravel and rocks with water running through them, that's why people can walk on them.

Of course, that doesn't explain why digging a channel out produces deep water below. It's like a crust of rocks is on top of a brook.

Well, if we assume that a channel is 10 feet deep (as it mines out the cube below) and a brook is < 2 feet deep, then digging a channel will result in deep water, no?  It just happens to be deeper than the brook.

But yes, visually, brooks are like rivers but with a rocky crust.

I just think of channeling out a brook as being like removing the sand/gravel/whatever that it runs through, so it makes sense that it's deep there.

code:

Think of it like this:
~~~~~~~~~~    <-- Shallow water (Brook tiles)
0.o0%.0%.% \  <-- Loose rock/gravel that water flows through
.O%o0o%.0O  >- One Z level (7/7 water under brook)
OoO0O.%o%0 /
########## \  <-- Solid rock
##########  >- One Z level
########## /
Then channel out part of it:
~~~~~~~~~~    <-- Shallow water (Brook tiles/Open space)
0.o~~~~%.% \  <-- Loose rock/gravel with channel
.O%~~~~.0O  >- One Z level (7/7 water under brook)
OoO~~~~o%0 /
########## \  <-- Solid rock
##########  >- One Z level
########## /

The "shallow water" is the visible brook tile, the "loose gravel/rock" is the 7/7 water underneath the brook tile. I know it doesn't quite play out that way in the game, but it's a good way to think of it and not hurt your head too much  

Maybe the water under the brook tiles should start with stones spawned in it? Or would that just shove them around?
