Water not flowing up Through grate [40c]
« on: September 24, 2008, 01:41:33 pm »

It hasn't been fixed in 40d according to devlog, so I might as well submit this.

I have a fortress with a water area in it, and I have one section similar to this:

Code: [Select]
OOOOOOO
O66WOO#O
OO^OOO+O
OO%OOO+O

Z-1
OOOOOOO
O+++++O
OOOOOOO

The W is both 6/7 water and an -open- hatch cover.  Basically, it's meant to be drained out via the grate and a pump (not shown).  I've turned it all off because it's broken (also no shown), but the spare water isn't coming up the grate that gravity dictates it should come up - here's a basic side view:

Code: [Select]
O==~O_O
O~~~~~O
OOOOOOO
the underscore is the grate, and the equal signs are 6/7 water over pressure plates.

So yeah, from what I can see, the dwarves standing on top of that grate mining out some other walls should be a lot more wet than they are...

I haven't seen this exactly, but I have seen magma not flow up a ramp properly.  When I saw it I had pumps next to the ramps.  They refused to pump and the flow did not put the magma up on the same level as the pumps.  I closed floodgates in the flow and removed the pumps.  When I opened the floodgates the flow properly went up.

I am guessing that the static flag for a flow/pool interferes with the teleportation.  Adjusting floodgates within the flow caused it to check all the static flags and that is how it noticed it could move up.

Magma doesn't flow up.  At all.

It can be pressurized to flow up to the level of a pump.

It's been a while, but I think Miasma will also not flow upwards through grates.
