I started a 1x16 fortress (using nanofortress) which was all over the ocean apart from one tile, sso I could try and build a huge bridge over the ocean. The fortress ran perfectly, with no lag whatsoever. The ocean was something like this:

Code: [Select]

                                             XXXXXX   X = land
777777777777777777777777777777777777XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
77777777777XXX7777777777777777777777XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
7777777777XXXXX777777777777777XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
7777777XXXXXXXXX77777XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXNothing wrong with that at all, so I just played for a while...lalala...playing...dwarves are all dying of thirst...miasma from all the corpses...people are jumping into the ocean...I'm out of barrels...my brewers are dead...abandoned the fortress.

But then something bad happened.

I went back there as an adventurer, and there was nauseating lag. I managed to get further up the bridge, but then noticed that the sea was a lot lower than usual. Then I realised that the sea was now like this:

Code: [Select]

                                                   XXXXXX
                 121                      XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
    1112345667677XXX7777777777777777777777XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

When I was searching around the bug report board, I found this - I'm not sure if it's the same problem.

You just violated the laws of physics. Please remain stationary while the Newton's laws of physics police department comes to apprehend you.

[Zombie]

It must be a Kraken. It's always a Kraken.

You need a bigger boat. D:

[Dadamh]

Actually it looks like the ocean is draining somewhere to the left of your drawing.

I'm not sure what could cause that.

[Fleeb]

[Yanlin]

I'd laugh more if I hadn't noticed it's just a manhole opened during a flood.

[Fleeb]

Yeah, this one works better. Just couldn't find it 

[Yanlin]

Yup. That works.

[Ryo]

Here's a save, if you want to take a look.

Is that one from Flash Gordon?  They drained a lake in that show, I just don't remember if that's it.

[Christes]

It looks like it's functioning as designed to me.

The water level lowered, and left behind a trace on top of the rock outcropping.  It does that all the time.

[Draco18s]

The water level lowered

And a whole 6 feet of ocean went...where?  I wasn't aware that DF had tides.

# 000857 □ [world generation] (Report) some lakes don't have uniform water levels

I wonder if this is what's hitting you.

[Christes]

The water level lowered

And a whole 6 feet of ocean went...where?  I wasn't aware that DF had tides.

Good question.  But what he sees is perfectly consistent with the water lowering.  So it's not so much a matter of uneven water levels as it is a matter of random water lowering.
