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.

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.

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.
