Contradictions in regards to mud[edit]

On the page, it first says water does not appear to move mud. Then it says that flowing water will frequently redistribute mud. I'm playing the game right now, and I see NO signs of mud being moved in the slightest. Unless anyone can give a solid explanation, I'm editing the page to state that water does not redistribute mud. --Kydo 07:07, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

Flood a room. Let it dry. Examine how much mud is on each tile: a dusting, a pile? Now flood it again. Re-examine the tiles. You will find things have changed. GhostDwemer 20:17, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
I believe we have some pretty solid information on this over in Well's talk page. Would you agree to copying DeMatt's information here? Also, I've been wondering, under what conditions would my well's reservoir run out? I use a gravity-fed aqueduct with depressurization at the reservoir's entrance, ensuring it's always full without overflowing. The only reason I can see for a well to go dry, is if one neglects to refill it, or if it's built over a murky pool. --Kydo 03:25, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
