Pouring a river into an u/g pool
« on: February 13, 2009, 12:44:52 pm »
So, an underground pool has limited water but can spawn tower caps. What is it exactly that spawns the caps, the water, or water that touches the stone of the pool?

If I drained the pool, and poured a river into the pool, would the resulting water be able to spawn caps (ie, creating my own underground river)?

Having discovered the underground lake/river is what causes towercaps etc to start spawning underground. If you wanted to, you could break into an underground river in one place (from above so no leakage) and on the other side of the map dig a small cave and wet it with brook water and you'd still get towercaps.  :)

Ah, I didn't realise! I haven't played with u/g pools or rivers much so I wasn't sure exactly how towercaps grew. Thanks for that, it makes my searches for good locations a lot easier.

Remember to pave your aqueducts with blocks, otherwise caps will block them
