Random water holes

[Hoff]

So I've been playing DW20 and noticed I randomly find water holes that go down to bedrock as if it was supposed to be a well or something. The only conclusion I've come to is that they are mirrors in the overworld of wells spawned in twilight forest.

Just wondering if there was any other information on them.

These are BC water springs, which provide infinite water above the lowest block of this spring.

Something to do with a finite water mod?

So why have I never encountered these until recently? Not to mention the heck is the point?

Uh was there supposed to be a reply in that?

Maybe he's just quoting it because he's wondering the same thing?
(Tho he could have just said "I'm wondering the same thing" if that was the case as well, I suppose.)

From http://www.mod-buildcraft.com/2013/01/26/buildcraft-3-4-2-for-minecraft-1-4-7/ :

- Added: Spring water source blocks at bedrock level.

No words on their purpose however. I still suspect something related to finite water.

What you guys are still using easy mode infinite water glitch from vanilla? We should take that out and only use springs.

Because they were just added in the latest version. They also seem to be fairly rare, I've only seen one. Figured it was from ExtraBiomes because I found it in a Rainforest... As for the point, if it's from BuildCraft, it's probably to use a pump on, since they kind of screw up once in a while on 1-deep infinite water sources.

No, Just mirroring your statment. I'm lazy.

I swear there's a competition on some other site to see who can make the most relevant post on the oldest thread they can find...

I swear, there are some EXTREMELY specific Web searches going on lately. I really think the forum is being necro trolled. I can't prove it but you're so right. SO many eerily relevant necro posts

This is why I refuse to use Google... No check for current timeframe relevance.

Of course, all the other search engines are just as bad...

Buildcraft also adds an oil spring under some of the geysers, but it is too slow to be really useful as an infinite source.

Well, does the oil Always generate again? If so, speed is pointless, it IS Infinite. Now, if you mean to slow to be a viable infinite source, well, seeing as oil is needed for Fuel in BC, and Fuel is the BC Endgame power generation... Not sure that's fair to say. It's a big deal if you can find one in a SMP world, even with MFR seeing as those are meant to not be energy positive(or negative, but still, they could be and get away with it in my books), since it's oil that never runs out. In SSP it's not as big of a deal since all the oil you find is yours.(how many max size RC steel tanks full of oil do you guys have, BTW?)
