Aquifer in glacier map doesn't produce water
« on: April 18, 2008, 02:29:00 pm »

I started in two biomes: One glacier, with a layer of ice. The other was temperate conifer forest or so, and had an aquifer. When I'm in the glacier part and dig down staircases, when I arrive on the aquifer part it does not produce water (which might be expected due to the freezing temperature, except I turned temperature off because my computer sucks), but the evil part is that when I designate an up/down staircase on the aquifer layer, below an existing down staircase, the tile gets mined out, one ice boulder appears, but no stairs. Same with up staircases on the aquifer level. Ramps appear, but dwarves don't walk down them, even if they're correctly placed for dwarves to walk on them. The same thing happens when on the non-glacier part of the map.

Digging across z-levels in ice is bugged for some reason. Try using constructed stairs instead.

As for the aquifer, aquifers only appear in the biome they're supposed to be on, so if you're in the glacier biome, then there is no "aquifer layer"; there's just a layer that is horizontally adjacent to an aquifer.
