v0.27.176.38c Sinking ocean!
« on: February 26, 2008, 11:00:00 pm »

I was fooling about with a pocket region and dug a little bit in an area by the sea. Not intending to keep the map, I violated the basic rules of sustainability, such as penetrating an aquifer wall and not penetrating the barrier between the innards of the fortress and the ocean.

This caused the water to rush in extremely fast, but it suddenly stopped. I looked around to find out what happened, and I noticed that the ocean sank. Much of the water seemed to have simply disappeared, leaving a trail of mist for a brief time. Part of the stairs have been left uncovered, which was quite odd.

This game is not modded.

Sounds like you linked the ocean and the aquifer. Aquifers absorb infinite water, so the ocean is simply being sucked into the aquifer.

This boggles the mind...

And makes a good sig line

No, I don't think you did. At least I can't tell what we're supposed to see here...the profile and thoughts of a certain dwarf...?

It's vaguely fun, but it's not exactly hidden.

Not that I know of, but with df it could have been put in 6 months ago and I probably wouldn't have noticed.

Ooh, that.  Put a waterfall in your dining room; the dwarves love it.  Seriously reduces tantrums.
