| − | On maps without a river, brook, any underground [[soil]] or aboveground plants to gather (so you can therefore get their seeds and begin [[farming]] aboveground) these can be a blessing since they provide water for muddying tiles (allowing both farming and [[plant gathering]] underground), but on others they can be a hindrance, because you have to dig around them. | + | On maps without a river, brook, any underground [[soil]] or aboveground plants to gather (so you can therefore get their seeds and begin [[farming]] aboveground) these can be a blessing since they provide water for muddying tiles (allowing both farming and [[plant gathering]] underground), but on others they can be a hindrance, because you have to dig around them. |

The underground river is populated with [[frogman|frogmen]], [[lizardman|lizardmen]], [[snakeman|snakemen]], [[olmman|olmmen]], [[cave crocodile]]s, [[giant toad]]s, [[giant olm]]s, and [[mud man|mud men]]. These can interrupt the work of any [[dwarf]] within line of sight, and can thus be a real nuisance. | The underground river is populated with [[frogman|frogmen]], [[lizardman|lizardmen]], [[snakeman|snakemen]], [[olmman|olmmen]], [[cave crocodile]]s, [[giant toad]]s, [[giant olm]]s, and [[mud man|mud men]].

The [[water]] sources for an underground river, if they are present on your map, are [[waterfall]] tiles "from nowhere".
