I didn't think it was possible, but I have been proven wrong.  To think, the only reason I discovered it was bad luck!

I wanted a challenge, so I jumped into a location that had aquifer.  Being the magnet of bad luck that I am in this game (as are we all), the point I chose to breach the aquifer was... Well, lets say, I didn't.  I dug through 6 layers of aquifer straight, and then hit the cavern.

Color me surprised when I realized the aquifer didn't end there, either.  Many of the walls of the cavern itself at the upper layer were aquifer, and were in the process of spewing water forth endlessly.  This water would fall, flow, fall further, and eventually run off the edge of the map through the cavern.  I no longer hate aquifer, because that was an awesome discovery.  Anything capable of making waterfalls on its own is worthy of reverence.

Same view, showing exactly how much aquifer commits to this underground 'river'.


Cavern plants are utterly drowned by the torrential flow.


The flow eventually stops here when it leaves the map bounds.

That is indeed awesome, I remember running into something like that going cave diving in Adventure Mode, I'm wandering through the cave system and suddenly I start seeing water flowing every time I move, eventually I realize some of the walls are aquifer-capable stones and the cave was flooding,  that was actually really exciting.

this happens a lot in real life.

Had this happen to me once, unfortunately I had to abandon due to fps
