So I made a claim. I had some chest on it. being a meh what ever guy, I started building around out side the claim. A house, a garden, a cow pen, sugarcane. basic starter stuff while I mined.
Well I also built an 8x8 wheat farm. Its a farm of sorts because It has 8 downward facing pistons holding back water that I can flush the field with a lever. It worked fine on my first day, and then I expanded my claim to include house. So on my second day (today) i log on to flush my field and only 3 rows (left most three rows) get flushed. I've never seen water not flow before. I broke it open and it flowed out the back!!! not the front. Oh well I'll just do it manual. Later I noticed that when I expanded the claim. The new corner that I couldn't see went down the front of the water including the pistons but not the water. except for the last 3 rows. So I expanded back 2 blocks. All works fine again.
Anyways I am having fun here!!!!
