:The rate of water evaporation is random. This is easy to test by filling a large area with 1/7 water and watching it evaporate - it doesn't evaporate nicely in the order it filled. I'm not sure about the answer to the second question. --[[User:LaVacaMorada|LaVacaMorada]] 00:57, 18 November 2009 (UTC) | :The rate of water evaporation is random.

::ROFLOL. I didn’t even see the calendar on the inventory screen until just this morning. Well, I guess I can still try for a water clock, but I will need to somehow make it useful. I think I could have it dump a tile worth of water over top of my magma vent at the start of spring each year. This will freeze the game due to a “cave in” (the produced obsidian floor falling to the bottom of the vent) and alert me that it’s time to get my winter-working dwarves inside before the start of the first season’s goblin ambushes. So I guess there is still a point to creating a water clock. | ::ROFLOL. I didn’t even see the calendar on the inventory screen until just this morning.
