Some questions: If you have a fort in a cold climate, will water never evaporate (i.e., no hot season=no evaporation)? Will outdoor lakes and ponds refill over time with rainwater? Schm0 10:09, 4 November 2007 (EST)
- I personally have yet to find a map with both rain and a hot season. My first fort had a hot season and it lost all its lakes (depth 7) in a single season, while all the rest of my forts so far have had neither hot seasons, nor rain. I can say that "murky pools" will not refill durring winter when things freeze.--Draco18s 10:37, 4 November 2007 (EST)
Magma also appears to evaporate if at depth 1. It leaves no residue. --Doctorlucky 02:51, 23 March 2008 (EDT)
- It's probably handwaved with the magma eating into the rock floor and fusing with it, so any residue is indistinguishable from said floor. --Alfador 12:18, 24 March 2008 (EDT)
- Shouldn't that turn the floor into obsidian? Random832 10:03, 13 October 2008 (EDT)
