Water flow rate bug

7 votes

So I encountered a bug where after dry season the water tends to flood the village even tho there is enough room on a lower level for it including enough dams for it to escape. It also sometimes flows in the wrong direction causing the flood. I will provide the save-file upon request.

Do you have a dam downstream? Sometimes it can cause a back wave.

I'm having exactly the same problem. No reason for anything to flood, but it does anyway.

@pmduda: I've had the same problem. Yes, there was a dam downstream, but in my case, the overflow happened quite a while after the drought ended.

Not exactly a bug but realistic water physics that sometime water flow speed and amount will cause pressure to spill to nearest ground instead of floowing a path

Maybe too realistic for this kind of management game

I encountered the same bug. After cycle 17, a few days after the last drought, water seems to start pouring in waves, flooding areas of the map I never had any problems with before. And the further downstream you go, the worst the flooding gets. I have had 2 dams downstream since cycle 6 and no issue before cycle 17. Maybe this is a clue, but I was in the middle of terraforming new streams so an isolated part of the map could be colonized for farming. The flooding started to happen immediately after the excavated area was filled with water.
