Dry pond lost forever
« on: February 13, 2007, 10:08:00 pm »
A pond was neglected and apparently dried out.  This would not be a problem but I cannot re-designate it as a pond again.  

I understand pre and post filled channels are different beasts, but is there a way to fix this?

Having a nice pond in my sculpture garden permanently become an ugly channel is not aesthetically pleasing.  Not a major issue, but just one you should look at when fixing channels.

Well, to my understanding, a channel's building status is checked at the start of every season, so as long as it's still dry by the next one, you should be alright.

I think then it'd just be a dry channel, and not a selectable building.

Not my experience at all.  What you state was a suggestion made by a player in another forum thread.  Once a channel becomes a terrain feature (can't be selected with [q]), it never goes back.
