| Summary | 0008023: Water pressure seems to be calculated somewhat tightfisted | ||||
| Description | Water level in mines does not rise to the level of its source (brook). If you channel out your cistern the water will just spread and new water won't come in. (water level falls) If you dig in a new way for the water on another level (tried just below surface) the cistern "wakes up" immediatly and the water level rises even before the water from the river can pass through its new channel. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Dig a cistern then channel some levels down and ramp up again to pierce the brook bed from below. w:wall r:ramp (these would have water level 7) number:water level wwwwwww w ww wwwww777ww surface w334w wrw w777w wrw wffrwwrw wrrw | ||||
| Additional Information | Don't know if Reproducibility would be always - saw it twice. | ||||

Does the behavior described in the "Pressure" article on the DF Wiki ( http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2014:Pressure ) explain what you are observing? |

Maybe partial. *testing* Yes the initial level looks like in the desciption in the Wiki (still a lttle bit strange though). But then if you dig out the cistern bigger the water level will just fall. For example you can have a 3x3 cistern and then dig it out to 5x5 the water spreads and its level drops: topview: _____ _777_ _777_ _777_ _____ 33233 23333 33332 32333 33333 There just no more water coming in to fill the new space. |

|
*More testing*... If you later dig in any other place into the river the pressure gets recalculated somehow and the water level rises immediatly in the cistern. |

I've verified this as well. I was building my cistern to give a quick tutorial for some of my stream viewers and ran into the same thing. it appears that river/brook/ocean water is working correctly - but any water outside of that is treated with the same physics as magma (does not climb z-levels).
