Hydrology thread

Clearly.

 

oooohhhh gottem

 

Don't get me started on tectonics

Karst caves are actually a really good explanation for some of the weird gavel hydrology since the grootslangs have been digging holes in the depths of the continent for ages !
starting to believe the rymek people just drink all the water .-.

 

: (

Would have been fun to follow the rivers across the entire place though

Sort of like Undertale's ice throwing where it flows through half the game before ending up at The Core for cooling

 

It's actually very simple

 

no, the pond wouldn't be the spring because there's waterfalls in almuj. water cannot go up without pumps. the spring would be under the bank because that's where a large body of water is that's at the highest point. the 3d map is better for this because you can see the y axis.

mfer it's not a paradox, you just didn't check the 3d map. the twain waterfall makes perfect sense, the fucking nile river starts from a tiny little spring in a mountain and grows larger with tributaries. same happens with the twain waterfall river, and it's a pretty goddamn large waterfall in-game. it does make sense for that big ass waterfall to feed a lake and a sizeable river, and for that river to grow larger when 2 and eventually 3 tributaries feed into it.

I feel like the Wynn plains actually make hydrological sense, if you forget the basin of the lost sanctuary (inb4 "time travel")

 

genius

hm, interesting points, and thank you for fact checking!

I think that that waterfall, given that it is also partially frozen over, and comes from three water sources in the ceiling (source i visited) is not big enough to feed twain lake, which is HUGE compared to a lot of water in wynn, and very deep, but i understand your point, thank you for clarifying with 3d

Ok, from now on i will use 3d

WAIT HEAR ME OUT!!! THE WATER COMES FROM UNDER THE BANK. THE ALMUJ BANKER, UNDER THE BANK, HAS NO TOILET. hmmmmmmm

this actually fits in quite well with the water damage lore. Each time water damage is dealt it drains water through a microportal to compensate the gain, and each time water damage is blocked, it sends water through a portal to compensate the loss

 

Have a feeling cotl isn’t gonna make sense, as canonically it shifts

 

The water coming from Pigman's Ravine is even weirder, how does it get larger near the end?


Also where does all the water from 3 rather big waterfalls go in the Ravine village?

 

Maybe the ravine water flows slower, so its wider. The village, they drink it

 

Minecraft water flows at the rate of 4m³/s for each source block (according to the Minecraft Fandom). There are 35 water blocks total flowing at all times. This would mean there is 140m³ of water entering the valley every second, that's 140 000L per second.
A minecraft day is 20 minutes, so 168 000 000L/day.
The daily intake for a human is around 3L/day. I counted 29 NPCs in the village, I'll round it up to 30 to be sure, might-ve missed one.
We can also assume the water is used by all the plant life and farming. All this together counts for at most 2000L/day.
That's still 167 997 910L of water that either seeps into the ground or evaporates every day.

 

No dingus. They arent humans
They are minions a power far beyond our understanding. They have unfathomable biology. For all we know they are made of sponges. They DRINK it ALL

 

I'm getting you started on tectonics right now. I would love to hear on that too. Unless you dont have time lol

 

the rare occasional thread questioning what the fuck is going on with water in the wynn world

 

tectonics explanation:the christian god did it

 

interestingly that water doesn't flow out of almuj - the river comes from a lake in the savannah

 

the Ravine village should be completely flooded

 

Tzel you are such a nerd it's incredible.

Honestly this would be an awesome overhaul to Wynncraft's terrain.

 

Not really, most of my points were wrong.

Does it make me more of a nerd to acknowledge i was wrong but not care because truth and knowledge are more important? Nah, truth and knowledge are for nerds...wait
