Water can unconstruct furniture?
« on: September 19, 2014, 10:11:01 pm »
So, I've had multiple cases of my water pipes being stripped of their grates when I fill the system from a high-pressure source.  Is this a thing, wiki says nothing about it.  I can replicate it with near-perfect results, I don't think there are any building-destroyer fish wandering around in there.  Wall grates seem to be surviving just fine, but any grate that is directly under the column of insanely fast falling water seems to be destroyed.

Your title says deconstruct, your post says destroy, which is it? Is the furniture item loose and ready to rebuild below somewhere afterward? If so, it's pretty obviously an intended feature.  If it just goes poof then it may or may not be.  Never head of it personally.

I observed this, too, in particular with ocean waves that deconstruct floor grates and throw them around. Seems to be intended.
