Just channel every suface tile, and hey presto! it's now a stream!

But then you end up with those annoying channeled ramps, and it takes time out of actual fortress widening...

I don't embark on brook much anymore. Right now I'm actually on a lake, which is a fun an novel experience.

You sure? As far as I remember channeling brooks leaves no ramps, and besides, brook floors are the same as regular floors, and should not leave ramps that came out of nowhere.

Unknown to most but the insane and the mystics, Tarran is actually Earth itself, as Earth is sentient like that planet in Avatar. Originally Earth used names such as Terra on the internet, but to protect it's identity it changed letters, now becoming the Tarran you know today.
Quote from: Ze Spy
Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.

If I recall correctly, channeling out the middle tiles left no ramps but the tiles next to the shore did. Actually typing that out makes me realize that that it is likely a bug, so I guess next fort I'll try to duplicate it.

I'm not sure that would count as a bug... Undesirable perhaps, but if you think about it it really is "correct" behavior.

Granted, the doesn't necessarily mean it isn't caused by a bug...

It's probably just the "unsupported ramps fall down" thing.

I was annoyed to find the "river" on my latest site was a brook again... until it turned out to have a four-z-level waterfall built in. Gonna have to find a way to build a meeting hall around that.

Forget down stairs, make an up stair
And then what?  Mine the sky? . . .  Actually, that'd be awesome.

you can just channel out the edge tiles of a brook and then let the center cave in for less digging. plus it guarantees that the ramps at least look uniform.
