| − | A '''brook''' is a small [[river]] that [[creatures]] and [[wagon|wagons]] can travel across without [[swimming]]. Walking across a brook will not even get you '''wet'''. (In fact, using the channel command to dig the surface away can leave stones behind, even causing cave-ins if done carelessly.) A brook can easily be identified by the white and cyan tiles on its surface, as opposed to the dark blue tiles of a river. These lighter colored tiles are a special kind of floor tile which acts like a floor [[grate]] most of the time: fluids, such as [[magma]] and water itself, will fall through it, and it can be fished through as well (remarkably, this floor also seems to support islands even when the ground beneath that island has been mined out while the brook is in ice form, preventing the island tiles from collapsing despite the fact they are supported by nothing but water). | + | A '''brook''' is a small [[river]] that [[creatures]] and [[wagon|wagons]] can travel across without [[swimming]].

[[Water wheel|Water wheels]] will not function if placed directly on a brook. In order to get a water wheel to work on a brook, you must dig a [[channel]] through the [[floor|surface]] of the brook, which removes the floor tiles, making that part like a normal river. Also, [[well]]s cannot be placed directly on a brook, and must also have the brook's surface removed via channeling. | [[Water wheel|Water wheels]] will not function if placed directly on a brook.
