40d Talk:Sourced water

Opening the fortress to the wrath of these monsters is generally considered a Bad Idea.

I have no clue whatsoever about what monsters the author is talking about. --Mizipzor 15:26, 1 November 2007 (EDT)

Rivers.--Draco18s 15:27, 1 November 2007 (EDT)

What? Is it the river itself you consider a monster? Or does the river contain monsters? Because I dont believe that the latter is always true, on the two maps Ive played so far, the river has been completely calm. --Mizipzor 15:33, 1 November 2007 (EDT)

Um....Try "permaflood"?--Draco18s 15:36, 1 November 2007 (EDT)

If its the river itself it should be changed to something like this beast to clarify. And if its river monsters then the sentence if false, I havn't seen a single river monster yet, just alot of angry fish. Plus why is bad idea capitalised. --Lucid 15:43, 1 November 2007 (EDT)

Pretty sure author was referring to the river itself. That's what I immediately thought when I read it. --BahamutZERO 15:53, 1 November 2007 (EDT)

The capitalization is from computer jargon style[1]. Thats not saying that writing it in this way is the right way to do it (it is jargon which tends to be specific to one group of people). --Shagie 15:59, 1 November 2007 (EDT)

Doesn't come more obscure than that. Thanks for clearing it up --Lucid 16:04, 1 November 2007 (EDT)

Sorry about that. <_< Kefkakrazy 16:57, 1 November 2007 (EDT)

I know that ponds marked "Murky Pools" do refill naturally. It happens for me when the snow melts after winter and the frozen ponds thaw out. It might be dependant on temperature and/or weather being on. --BahamutZERO 17:48, 1 November 2007 (EDT)

Actually it just occured to me that this might be caused by the top layer of the pool still having some water in it, less than full, which turns into an ice block when it gets too cold. Then when it thaws it doesn't save the water level information from the tile pre-freeze. Or it might be something else entirely, I don't know. --BahamutZERO 17:53, 1 November 2007 (EDT)

I'm fairly sure this explanation is right-that if a 1/7 tile of water freezes, when it thaws it turns into a 7/7 tile.Kefkakrazy 23:08, 25 November 2007 (EST)
