My Geyser ... died?

[neal121]

So I was using a geyser for water with it being pumped for oxygen  and randomly it stopped producing water. Anyone else experience this? I thought this things were map destroyers from over production of water.

If there is too much pressure it stops, they did it cuz it was destroying maps.

check for pockets of crazy-high concentrated gasses - and disperse

I experience only that geyser produce less water due to lags or stars in the sky...

So if I were to go find one early on in the map, dig more under it, would it cause problems? Basically fill a giant pocket of water. Or does this slow the water?

It will make water until there is too much gas/liquid on the geyser, the bigger the area the more water it makes.

it's funny if you're pronouncing it geezer because they end up doing that

I'm not sure that's true - a contained geyser with 12 spaces around it (3 for each side) and a contained geyser with 24 spaces around it (6 per side) release roughly the same amount of liquid/gas (as the amount does vary between "eruptions")

I've found it's more to do with how many tiles-per-side are available to vent; however i'm sure one of the debug masters can verify
