From the diagrams of the horseshoe problem that I'm seeing here, I can say that I do not have a horseshoe issue.  Also, it's not that there's infinite water.

Rather, it's that I was surprised because I was pumping water into a brook faster than it could drain off of the edge of the map, considering the brook input taking up a good bit of the output capabilities.

I might have to take a shot at creating the horseshoe, though; it might be fun if I can put some sort of control on the exit point - assuming the bug isn't fixed yet, of course.

Side view of my system:

Code: [Select]

P~~WA
XX~~~
XXXXX
P = pump output
~ = water
W = wall
X = ground
A = open space

As I figure, I just made the brook's input actually exceed its output.  This would never have happened at all if I hadn't partially flooded my fortress - the amount of water I was pumping out was far more than the system was intended to deal with.

I've received a complaint about this thread, and indeed, there's some silliness.  Yanlin, the sig discussion would have been better started in PMs.  Coupled with other comments since your return (eg this), I'm not far off banning you permanently.  Refrain from harassing people.  nirodragon, your new personal text (and your old one) is inflaming the overall situation.

Understood.

If anything I'd like to say I am sorry.

I also like your new avatar text.

I'm sorry too, all I did was antagonize you further.

And thanks, it took me a few minutes to think it up... at 2:30 am.  *Z-Z-Z*
