About buoyancy[edit]

do people float? - Tsester 20:25, 24 February 2013 (UTC)

I flooded some goblins two levels down, yet when the water reached 1/7 in the upper level they remained below. They don't have the drowning tag. They do have blue-filled name
EDIT: as the above levels reaches 4/7 they start emerging or drowning - Tsester 20:28, 24 February 2013 (UTC)
It sounds like the goblins must be swimmers, otherwise they would drown in 4/7 water. According to an arena test I just did, goblins (and presumably other swimmers) will not drown in 7/7 water, as long as there is less than 4/7 water above them. They are able to move up if there is water above them, but will generally not choose to unless they are forced to (due to drowning). I assume the goblins that drowned were inexperienced swimmers, and unable to move up a z-level. --Lethosor (talk) 22:41, 24 February 2013 (UTC)
