:I personally have yet to find a map with both rain and a hot season.  My first fort had a hot season and it lost all its lakes (depth 7) in a single season, while all the rest of my forts so far have had neither hot seasons, nor rain.  I can say that "murky pools" will not refill durring winter when things freeze.--[[User:Draco18s|Draco18s]] 10:37, 4 November 2007 (EST)

Magma also appears to evaporate if at depth 1.  It leaves no residue. --[[User:Doctorlucky|Doctorlucky]] 02:51, 23 March 2008 (EDT)
 
 
:It's probably handwaved with the magma eating into the rock floor and fusing with it, so any residue is indistinguishable from said floor. --[[User:Alfador|Alfador]] 12:18, 24 March 2008 (EDT)

== Molecule evaporation? ==
 
 
I don't think it is correct to say that "molecule" become gaseous. Matter, such as a liquid, can change state.
 
 
==No outdoor evaporation while raining?==
 
While casting a large (47x47) obsidian tower, I realized that I'd have to switch the layer order in order to finish the top layer with water rather than magma, so I decided to let the current one dry up. When it started raining, I noticed that the water, all at depth 1 or 2, entirely ''stopped evaporating''. Once I was notified that the weather had cleared, it started evaporating quite rapidly. I'm in a tropical moist broadleaf forest (which never has any "dry seasons"), if that turns out to make any difference. --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] 01:08, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
