ponds and pools
« on: July 26, 2010, 05:55:27 pm »
So I've dug out a nice little channel.
I've pressed "I" and set the place as a pond.
I also ordered the production of 5 extra buckets, but none of my dwarves are filling the pond with water. Even if they have nothing to do, the pond just remains dry and untouched.
Any way to make my dwarves fill stuff up with water?

1. You have to designate the Z Level ABOVE the area to fill it.
2. Have you gone into the 's'ettings, and changed it from a pit to a pond?
