Summary0004263: Reclaiming a fortress destroys cave mud and aquifers
DescriptionWhen you reclaim a fortress, both cave mud and aquifers will be gone. This is especially devastating to someone who is counting on the aquifer as a source of water, like at one of my reclaimed fortresses, which was Freezing and had no cave water except some salt water which was 125 levels deeper than my fortress. I had really, REALLY been counting on that aquifer to provide me with water.
The embark screen showed the aquifer as being in one of the top 8 layers, and was in multiple biomes comprising about 75% of my embark site. I dug very deep holes in 3 different places but didn't find an aquifer.
Steps To ReproduceReclaim a fortress with an aquifer.

Are you sure the aquifer is actually gone? It may just not be displaying the water tiles any more, meaning it's hidden suddenly.
