So I embarked on a piece of land that LOOKED like a river either emptying into a lake or a lake becoming a river. Either way, I seem to have neither.



As you can see by the picture, this river doesn't move. At all. If I "k" over to it, it says it's a river tile. But no water is moving. If I had to guess, it would appear that once the water hit the lake, it took on the "don't flow" quality that the lake water possess. I dunno.

This wouldn't be a problem, but there are NO fish in any of the swamps or the river. My Fisherdwarf just hangs about. He wasn't able to catch a SINGLE fish in any water.

In fact, this entire plot is devoid of life. No wildlife of any sort. No trees, despite embarking with a square in a Densely Forested plot. I have green grass, but not a single tree.

I've given it a season. Nothing. No wildlife spawns. No trees. Still no fish. Not even an insect. Nothing at all...

It's actually kind of creepy, like my Dwarves embarked in the god damn Twilight Zone, and they're the last 7 living things on earth.

Go into the init files and turn flows to being numbers (or [k] over the tiles on the edge of the map).  Are there tiles with less than 7/7 water?

Unlike brooks, I don't believe rivers have any sort of obvious... flow animation? For lack of a better term, I'll go with that. I'm pretty sure the water would flow fine if some of it disappeared though. I think the real bug here is the lack of any life... Well, not that I'm saying it's a bug necessarily. It is a bit odd though.

The lack of animals isn't all that surprising, sometimes it takes a while. Large fish don't always appear in all rivers I think, so that's probably not a bug either... I don't really understand fishing well enough to be surprised about that. But I am surprised at the lack of trees... Even that probably has an explanation though. Really, you're probably just incredibly lucky, though it's all up to preference as to whether that luck is good or bad.
