Wont Flood Bug 33g
« on: December 24, 2007, 05:14:00 pm »
Ok well I havent seen this reported anywhere else so here you go,

I made this tower and put it in a hole, the tower has me(A dwarf named after me) in it and I killed everyone else. I began flooding the world, After a bit the first layer flooded and everyone died except me. I waited a bit more and the water in the hole surrounding the tower wont continue to fill up. The water below is 7/7 but the floor above just wont fill, I let it run but it stays the same.

Heres the save, http://rapidshare.com/files/78853812/region2.zip.html

Edit: Spelling error

Water will only fill up to the z level of the source.  so unless the river/brook you are using to flood everything is at the same level or higher then the top of the pit you dug it won't fill.

Im using waters pumps to lift it up from the aquifer though. Shouldn't that make the water rize to the pumps?

oh.  I dunno.  I think auqafiers like rivers/brooks cam abosorb an unlimited ammount of water.  so I think if any part of the area you are flooding has access to the auqafier the water will just keep running back into it.  I may be wrong on that though.

Correct.  The edges of the map count as an unlimited "sink" also, water will flow off the map significantly faster than you can pump it.
