water coverage?
« on: November 07, 2007, 09:00:00 am »

i want to tunnel into a murky pool and water an underground excavation with it.

1. miners cancel digging when they detect damp stone.  can i get around that?
2. will the poor bastard drown if i do?
3. the pool registers a depth of 7.  will that spread out over 7 tiles before drying out?  i'm all out of tower cap logs and kinda miss them, so i thought about growing them.

thanks for the help, everyone   :)

Unless it's a river the water won't come out too fast and your miner can simply run out. To get around damp stone, just re-mine designate the block you want to mine. Another way to flood, with a safe miner, is a channel from above.
