− | Water that | + | Water that {{l|flow|flows}} over contaminants can pick them up and redistribute them as the water moves. Water does not appear to move mud, although mud will be created any time water covers a tile. The mechanics of redistributing contaminants using water is not well understood although there have been some observations of strange behavior when mixing blood and water. |
And I can speak from experience, I have NEVER seen water move mud. I'm even running tests of it in my well guide fortress, there's no signs of any mud contaminating the water. The dwarves are fine with the water coming out of a well situated directly over a pile of mud. Whoever is making these claims about filtering mud with grates and bars needs to lurk (and experiment) moar. Even if mud were a functioning contaminant like blood, water just makes more mud as soon as it touches a floor tile, which means ALL water would be eternally muddy! Even after being "filtered" through a grate! --Kydo 06:54, 29 November 2010 (UTC) | And I can speak from experience, I have NEVER seen water move mud.

::::::: I still can't find any evidence of this whatsoever. The latest version IS 0.31.18, right? I'm only finding stagnant water in pools. Draining the water from the pools makes it work just fine for me. The water from the river is just fine on it's own, thus far. Also, if stagnation is a contaminant, wouldn't it be listed as "laced with grime"? Also, my dwarves don't seem to be minding salty water from the well either. --Kydo 06:51, 30 November 2010 (UTC) | ::::::: I still can't find any evidence of this whatsoever.

::::::Try looking at the contents of the water item - when you're looking at the bucket with the water in it, move the highlight to the stack of water (if it isn't there already) and press {{k|Enter}}. --[[User:DeMatt|DeMatt]] 08:26, 30 November 2010 (UTC) | ::::::Try looking at the contents of the water item - when you're looking at the bucket with the water in it, move the highlight to the stack of water (if it isn't there already) and press {{k|Enter}}. --[[User:DeMatt|DeMatt]] 08:26, 30 November 2010 (UTC) | ||

::::Yes, the tile above a ramp counts as open space. You can build wells, grates, hatches etc on downward ramps, even if there's water below. | ::::Yes, the tile above a ramp counts as open space. You can build wells, grates, hatches etc on downward ramps, even if there's water below. | ||
:::::Yes, a well will work over top of a ramp. Ramps act like an empty tile with a special function applied. So if all you have is a hole in the ground with a ramp in it, full of water, the well will still work there. But because a ramp requires ground to be built upon, you can't dig out anywhere below said ramp, so you can't exactly have much of a reservoir if you do that. Basically all it means is that having a ramp at the bottom of your well does nothing to the functionality of a well. But staircases still interrupt functionality should they be at or above the water level. --Kydo 15:05, 13 October 2010 (UTC) | :::::Yes, a well will work over top of a ramp.
