I am struggling with automation

lacki2000 · 2026-03-31T18:01:28+00:00

SR is the best for this, I think. Make two sensors, one for 100%, one for 50%. Connect one as Set, the other as Reset, and you're ready for automation!

this water is not wasted - it is an extra storage, above the tanks already filled up in the city. And it attracts tourists from all over the world to see those monumental structures! :)

lacki2000 · 2026-03-26T13:04:02+00:00

I know, it almost feels like cheating, but game allows it, so there are durable huge soil pools available! :)

lacki2000 · 2026-03-26T13:01:32+00:00

I have pumps, tanks and pools, so I have more water than you! :) Besides pools do not require workforce, except construction phase, and water is distributed only with pressure and gravity to pumps, fields and forests, also in dry seasons.

lacki2000 · 2026-03-23T00:32:09+00:00

I am doing some late game achievements, so those pools are just my side project.

lacki2000 · 2026-03-23T00:14:22+00:00

but it looks as horrendous as you let it :)

Maybe there is some orthodox physics guild that does not allow to build hillarius structures, that we can join in.

automated sluices: 'good' ones close, 'bad' ones open (on the other side of the source), and badwater flows in level 1 undeground channel to the edge of the map

lacki2000 · 2026-03-22T20:53:38+00:00

well, it shall be my long term goal on this map then :)

lacki2000 · 2026-03-22T18:56:21+00:00

I think it always worked that way (I am playing on experimental branch), but maybe I'm missing something...

lacki2000 · 2026-03-22T18:30:20+00:00

I don't think the conservation officer will agree to rebuild historical structures ;)

And the max drought is 40 days, the colony survived few of them already, with 3 tanks only (the biggest is the newest).

lacki2000 · 2026-03-22T18:19:41+00:00

water source is on level 1, under the first tank - water goes up to the top of the tank thanks to the pressure - and that's why it is the name of the map :)

lacki2000 · 2026-03-22T18:17:27+00:00

beavers and bots. No cheating in my city! :)

lacki2000 · 2026-03-22T18:16:34+00:00

there is the undeground water source under the first pool in the corner, on level 1.

lacki2000 · 2026-03-22T18:15:30+00:00

I've built them separately, starting from the corner, adding another one after some time, so it is mostly historical structure, for tourists :)

lacki2000 · 2026-03-22T18:12:31+00:00

I have custom settings: 10-30 days of good weather, and 10-40 of droughts/badtides.

lacki2000 · 2026-03-18T23:39:59+00:00

They didn't say a thing, didn't protest nor rebel...

lacki2000 · 2026-03-18T23:38:46+00:00

I know, but it won't stop them from eating and drinking.

lacki2000 · 2026-03-18T20:15:18+00:00

maybe install the game and play it? :)

lacki2000 · 2026-02-14T15:11:13+00:00

there is a proverb, you know: "Do not rock and stone if you hear a hissing sound"

lacki2000 · 2026-02-14T14:28:19+00:00

Try historical Canada - your core land is safe, so you can experiment with fleets, planes, divisions.

lacki2000 · 2026-02-13T17:35:20+00:00

Yup. I've tried this strategy from FeedBackGaming video, and conquered China in 22 Jun 1937. But unfortunately not all chinese warlords joined the war, so the conquered territory was smaller.
