  I'm early on in the game, and after not playing for a week logged on to find my irrigation towers missing. Checking over the recent patch notes, I was confused to see the Irrigation Tower was removed - and this was presented as a bonus!? I don't understand why! At this early point, I'm still in the process of building my lil village, trying to get resources developed, etc., and I don't have the capabilities of using many of the irrigation options yet at this point. I feel like the irrigation towers are particularly useful at the beginning part of building a village. I agree that some of the other changes could be useful... but I don't understand why they needed to be completely eliminated.

  6) Did want to edit it to make sure the tower was not having a worker, but having science do the work to irrigate the land around it,
  7) possibility of using badwater without having to contaminate the land it irrigates.

  Yes, the bug was fixed, irrigation towers now won't be a game breaker anymore

  Removal of tower is indeed nothing short of a bonus, it was only there waiting for irrigation system overwork. Using it in early game is just considerably increasing hardship of surviving.
  So it might make a comeback later if new system is introduced and tower water consumption is re-balanced with that, but for not it's not in plans.

  the tower was never worth using, just use 4 levees, a water dump, and some stairs you get 10 tiles in every direction irrigated, this basically cheese IMO and once you get late game drop some dynamite in the middle blow and and get rid of the stairs, and levees and rebuild the water dump and get another 3 ties for crops and reclaim some wood

  Bring it back! A bunch of my beavers going to die because the towers are no longer in the game. Some people don't like it, but other players like me, still have a use for it. Please bring it back, thank you

  Currently, filling a 1x1 hole using a water dump is significantly more efficient and effective than an irrigation tower, making irrigation towers useless. The water dump hold method covers a larger area, uses much less water, all while the water lasts much longer.
  
  Even if dynamite isn't yet available in the early game, using levees and stairs covering 6 tiles works the same, and is more than worth the 2 tiles more than the footprint of the irrigation tower.
  
  This is clearly an oversight and needs to be fixed ASAP. Make irrigation towers better, at the very least, fix the rate of water consumption.

  Currently, there is no irrigation towers in the game.

  I don't think the irrigation towers should have been removed. They are a nice and potentially useful building if they would simply be fixed. I do not want to have to resort to manual irrigation to irrigate a place. So please, fix the irrigation towers and reintroduce them into the game.
  
  May I please have my post amended to include my comment and the 'DONE' status changed? If not, then may I create a new post with amendments?

  Water towers would slowly put out water to keep the land green and you could farm on it
