Water pressure changes?
« on: March 20, 2012, 01:11:59 pm »
I remember if water used to flow through a diagonal, it would de-pressurize. However, when I do that now, it just floods my place (more slowly). How would I achieve a similar effect in the latest version?

As far as I know this hasn't changed.  Show us a screenshot of what you're talking about.

Water going through a diagonal eliminates pressure, but not flow. Water will flow by diffusion from more full to less full squares. "Pressure" actually means "teleportation." Water under pressure will teleport past full squares of water to the first non full square it can path to. That is the difference between pressure and flow.

Weird, I used to be able to do this...


Wait, forgot the floodgate.
