I dug into a Murky pool, all 7's, drained out 8 squares of 7's into my reservoir to irrigate my farm, then closed the floodgate up. The murky pool was mixed 6's and 7's. After winter, it froze over, and in Spring melted back into all 7's again. Apparently they can refill themselves. It did snow on top of the pool. Perhaps the snow melted and got it wet? --Tracker 20:36, 30 October 2007 (EDT)
- As far as I know, if there's any water in the pool then they will freeze into ice walls. When the ice wall melts, it will always melt to depth 7, irrespective of how much water the ice was originally formed from. It is unaffected by snowfall, so if your murky pool ever completely dries out, it will never refill, even if you get lots of rain or snow. --Morlark
Do fish really flop around after you drain a pool? This didn't happen for me. --Turgid Bolk 17:08, 3 November 2007 (EDT)
Does anyone know what the water output of a brook is? As in, does it fill a 1-width channel any faster or slower than a river?--Xazak 18:29, 3 November 2007 (EDT)

Bend bugs
Should we add a section about the u-bend bug?
I've just managed to make a V-bend that can absorb infinite water as well as the U-bend that creates it. Basically I used ramps to create a dip in a pipe trying to make a u-bend, and when I poured a full murky pool into it I ended up with only the bottom three squares full of water. I then got a real u-bend going from another pond and as much as it poured into a pool the v-bend absorbed it all.
Can anyone reproduce?
