brook... waterfalls?[40d11]
« on: July 15, 2009, 02:20:14 pm »

I was gonna investigate the map that had a bugged water gobbo fort in it, but I entered it in wrong and instead found a brook with a 26Z level waterfall in it. it falls directly on top of more brook tiles, making almost 2 rivers.

Is this a bug or is it normal?

What's a bugged water gobbo fort?

Since brooks technically have a ceiling, it's possible that the water would pile on top of the other brook. If you channel under where the waterfall is going in, it should merge normally.

Edit: nm, just saw that thread you were referring to.

that's the thing, the water goes through the brook tile.

also, the tiles immediately behind it are invisible until you make a designation order near or around it.I think it's since the zlevels the brook goes down are still technically a brook.

I think its normal for water to go through a brook tile.

I've seen it happen quite a few times before. As far as I know, brook waterfalls are normal.
