I've discovered that desalinated water will become salt water once again if used on muddy constructed floors. | I've discovered that desalinated water will become salt water once again if used on muddy constructed floors. | ||

After waiting for 3 seasons for the single bits of 1/7 water to evaporate (already pumped it back out, couldn't pump it all out) leaving the entire construction muddy. I figured it would be a good time to test something else. | After waiting for 3 seasons for the single bits of 1/7 water to evaporate (already pumped it back out, couldn't pump it all out) leaving the entire construction muddy.

After answering the first, I'm going to confirm the well desalination issue next.

::I think once you "break" an area that used to be freshwater (by breaking something and accidentally letting the freshwater come in-contact with something "natural") then it remains that way permanently. I haven't done an exhaustive exploration of the conditions, but twice I tried to completely reconstruct my formerly functioning freshwater canal and both times after the work was finished the zone still did not report it as a water source. I had removed all the walls and got rid of all the water and mud and rebuilt everything dry and it didn't work. So I decided to build a replacement water source somewhere else and that worked. Of course, to be completely safe I built the new thing out of wood whereas the previous thing was from glass. --[[User:Gamli|Gamli]] 10:59, 28 July 2009 (PST) | ::I think once you "break" an area that used to be freshwater (by breaking something and accidentally letting the freshwater come in-contact with something "natural") then it remains that way permanently.
