Fishable?

Might be worth mentioning if brooks are normal water with respect to fishability, or whether a channel needs to be dug first. Runspotrun 16:31, 11 November 2007 (EST)

I suppose so, since it is a potential source of confusion. --Dryn 22:23, 28 November 2007 (EST)

damming

  1. How do I know which side of my dam is going to be dry, before I dam a brook? (ie which way does the water flow, if the entire z-level is level, and the brook stays on the whole z-level from one edge of the screen to the other??)
  2. Will it cause a flood, when I dam a brook, if I don't leave a spillway?
  3. If I channel my brook so it is non-walkable, will it still freeze in winter?

  1. Check the edges of the brook that meet the map, one of them will be losing water. That's the downstream side.
  2. Assuming this is the same level brook, no, as the dam would be at the same level as the source.
  3. Channeling will simply remove the brook floor tiles, the brook itself will still freeze, like any exposed water.
