Realistic droughts - flow decreases and increase slowly with time, not instantly

5 votes

Now, in game, water source have an on/off valve during droughts, and, this is unrealistic . Would be better if in the first quarter of the drought, water source will drop the outflow to 0 and in the last quarter will increase again to normal flow. And, we could have some random times with some low water flows during droughts !

I think this is already a feature of the game. It depends on the strength of the water source, the greater the strength of the water (say 8), the more gradually the momentum of the water will change. I know of several custom maps that utilize this mechanic.

On 30 day's drought, the on/off transition to be at least a few days ! On a shorter one's, could be much shorter ...

water sources already have a setting for that, so if mapmakers with the right tools wanted to they could theoretically set the sources to change incredibly slowly... but when a drought ends, the source would also take a long time to roll back up to full speed.
