Summary

0008259: Creek surface changes to dirt when you construct / deconstruct on top of it.

Description

This is really part of the whole weirdness that is "creeks" in Dwarf Fortress. 7 deep water that is shallow enough to walk across. It might be considered a feature. Basically, though, if you build construction (e.g. floor, wall, etc.) across a creek surface and then deconstruct it you are left with dirt (furrowed loam, sand, etc.) over the 7/7 water tile below.

Ideally, I suppose, it should revert to the 'creek' surface.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Find creek.
2. Build floor tiles across creek.
3. Deconstruct floor tiles.

Additional Information

If you wanted to make creeks more 'natural' I suppose you could make them solid and water-bearing (like a slow aquifer) and have them be usable as a water source.
