There arn't waves in the sea. A little bit disappointing.

Actually, there are.

What would it be like to live in a world that was copy/pasted? Would we even notice? If not, how many times have we switched celestial harddrives or whatever?

Strange.  I get waves in my oceans.  If fact, I just had an embark with the wagon on the beach.  Got a bunch of job cancelations from waves washing over the wagon.

It was pretty funny.

Yes, I know there are. But there is no wave on this particular beach.

I don't think lakes have any waves. That might be it.

Don't you think he would have noticed if he embarked on a lake?

In my experience, you won't get waves if the area of ocean on your map is too small.

This is fortunate. Waves can be hell on fps.
