2010 barrels of water
« on: April 29, 2010, 09:51:55 pm »
Is this possible yet?

We all need water for various purposes, but flow slows down FPS.

Can we fill, buy, import, export, and generally use water in barrels for all water requiring purposes somehow?

No, but buckets are useful.

Not yet, but were getting there.

I can't wait for the day when we can amount enough of any liquid for it to turn into a X/7 like water is now. And when that day comes I'm making a flood trap filled with lard, with a pool of magma under it.

Deep fried elf tastes just like chicken.

Well if you need water in a barrel or a bucket, my guide will be including that soon. So be sure to keep an eye on it.

I believe I have some bucket testing ahead of me. ;)

I think it's been more or less stated that water and magma will remain the only actual flows in the game, since they cause serious slowdown.  Everything else will just be contaminants.  I'm all for oils as a flow (particularly crude oil as a mining nuisance), since they have clear interactions with water/magma.

Oh god, that's going to lead to some newbie Fun.  "Oh crap, the oil spill caught fire.  Dump water on it to put it out!"  "Why is everyone in my fortress burning to death AND drowning and the same time??"
