  I have a pair of double floodgates. The flow going through them varies greatly between the heights 0.95 and 1.00. At 1.00, the reservoir behind them fills up too quick and floods above 2.00. At 0.95, the flow goes quickly, emptying the reservoir below 1.00.

  I'm trying to use triple floodgates, but it keeps overflowing regardless of how open I make them. It seems like something is bugged with the water flow through them. Even deleting them completely doesn't change the water level until after the drought comes and goes.

  "Triple Floodgate doesn't flow correctly" (suggested by philipov on 2021-09-19), including upvotes (1) and comments (0), was merged into this suggestion.

  I also have an issue where floodgates (triple in this case) that aren't yet built appear to be stopping water from flowing through them as though they were built.

  @Weatheroak, that sounds like a different issue? The cases posted here the gate is already built.

  Have the same problem with the 3 lvl floodgates. The water just dont overflow. it keeps jaming thew water behind it withoput rasing the water level there any higer. ( wanted to build a water reservoir for the droughts ) only if i pull the level at 1,5 it overflows at it should be. making them pretty useless there

  I think I found the problem: this makes the floodgate count as a waterfall, and waterfalls have a smaller limit on maximum outflow. I wrote another bug report here: https://timberborn.featureupvote.com/suggestions/260107/double-floodgate-bug-max-waterfall-outflow-variable-limiting-flow

  triple flood gates wont allow water to flow out under 3.

  johannes, that's not a bug. you're hitting waterfall limits which cut you down to 2.2cms per edge. in fact, the OP is also hitting waterfall limits-i bet the dams downstream that pass the river are on level ground.
