what is this brown water?

Hi

I haven't played minecraft with 1.3 , and I've seen that now and again these pools of brown water appear. When I dive into them I get poisoned and most the times I die from the poison damage?

What are these? are these specific for tekkit or are they a new vanilla feature?

Sewage: http://tekkitlite.wikia.com/wiki/Sewage

Pump it into a composter and get industrial fertilizer.

If you are ever wondering what some unknown pool of fluid is, your best bet is to scoop it up in a bucket so you can see the name. But yes, probably sewage.

You can always make a straw and drink the stuff. If you get sick, it's probably sewage or sludge.

Good idea cerevox. You are right it's sewage.

I was just wondering why are there pools out there. Is it because mobs create them? (the area is full of sheep)

I could be wrong, but I believe sewage pools spawn naturally on world generation, however they don't form naturally afterwards. To get sewage from animals, you have to plop down a Sewage Collector.

He mostly means how it got there, in-universe. I'm wondering the same thing. How did all that waste end up in specific locations?

I wondered that too, but I just assumed that pool was suppose to be the runoff from the area. As in the animals poop and the rain carries it down to a hole in the ground. Just speculation though.
