The entire area 1z above is empty space the same size as the river. Then above that, rock. Where is the water comming from? | The entire area 1z above is empty space the same size as the river. Then above that, rock. Where is the water comming from? | ||
It's mildly amusing, because random underground river creatures will spawn in it, swim around for a while, then fall into the chasm. | It's mildly amusing, because random underground river creatures will spawn in it, swim around for a while, then fall into the chasm. | ||
| − | :A underground river tends to start within pure rock without any "real" reason. My actual map has one starting this way, too. It´s not as odd as yours. It goes south, then 1 z-level down, then nort-west, then down again, then east... There are five of these short parts before it goes down a chasm. I think this is normal when it doesn´t come from the edge or leaves the map. | + | :A underground river tends to start within pure rock without any "real" reason.

::(I hope I'm doing this right. First comment.) My map has a river. It starts as the odd river described, a 'waterfall' which doesn't fall. From there, it travels west southwest for quite a ways, then has a sharp bend, to northwest, for a short way, and then it falls several Z-levels. After that, it travels north for a ways, then drops several more Z-levels, to a chasm. --[[User:Wattj|wattj]] 15:43, 31 January 2009 (EST) | ::(I hope I'm doing this right. First comment.)

:::Underground rivers can spawn anywhere, essentially. They are created by a special tile-type that creates water out of thin air. My most interesting underground river started at the very edge of the map, in the middle of a chasm, which meant the water just fell straight down into the chasm. It looked pretty funny. -- [[User:j0nas|j0nas]] | :::Underground rivers can spawn anywhere, essentially. They are created by a special tile-type that creates water out of thin air.
