Do you have buckets? Also you may want to try channelling a hole in the surface of the brook, if you are designating a brook to gather water on. |
|
|
you also have to set the pond to "fill" |
|
|
How does one set the pond to fill? |

Does that clear things up, Spiritbw? |
|
|
Well, all the water on my map must be salty or something. Tried setting things up, got it set to pond(it SHIFT and p to set preferances for the zoneGah!>.<) but setting up a water source, even on the river at the level at the surface gives me no tiles for water gathering. |
|
|
my dwarves get water from a murky pool to fill the pond, without me designating any water source zone. Do you have a murky pool? Then try deleting the zone on the river/any zones? Also note that you do need to designate the edge, not the actual water tiles. Maybe if you have set zone drinking only plus a defunct water zone, you are blocking yourself? |
|

I just got the same problem. Underground farm plots with a channeled hole above set as a pond Several murky pools nearby but none of them show any squares of water source when constructing a zone over/around them. I didn't get a salt water warning upon embark that I can remember and I don't have any coastal water on the map. Is there a way to see if a pool is salt or fresh after embark? |
|
|
Yeah, if you create a zone over a pond and it has no water source tiles, that means it's salt water. It would be nicer if the game just told you it's salt water. I posted a suggestion to that effect: http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=53964.0 |

Thanks Footkerchief. :) That would be a nice addition to the water description. |
|
|
I'm closing this one since it doesn't seem to be an actual bug so much as a shortcoming. |
