Stream gauge near the lower spiral dams to set the main reservoir gates at max for droughts and bad tides oughta do the trick 59:20

Happy New Year. At 1:10 you can see under your paper mill a gap in levees that is catching some bad water and can’t escape which if you watch the incident happen it started to spill from there too! Might not be the whole problem but it may cause a problem in the future.
@jonathanlin977210 ай бұрын
Your flooding at the industrial area is due to the gap in the levies under the industry near the first water wheel. It's causing the water to backup under those industries and then overflow the 2nd levies into the pond next door. Also, you may want to add a platform bridge at the spiral source so you can access the scrap metal storage on the otherside

Yeah, I'd also move the industry up to where that potato farm is now to take advantage of that nice cliff for gravity batteries.

Part of your issue with extract production is hauling the bad water over. I think it's something like 5 to 1 badwater to extract. It might be worth it to move extract and explosive production over to where the badwater rigs are.

Merry Christmas JC! I love the polar opposites between last episode and this, the epic chaos and the calm rational! 1) automate those lower flood gates 2) use dirt, not levees 3) do you want to pull out the bad water pumps now? 4) you only have one bad water rig turned on 5) 50:22 I think you should leave the flood gates in for now and just set them to stay up, so you can see if there's any problems you didn't anticipate. 6) take care of yourself. Don't burn yourself out with all this work. Next time you go on vacay, don't worry about putting out... I mean, we don't expect you to keep the que full every day of the year. Thank you for the entertainment my friend! Now go have some fun 🐸🐸🐸

For automating the floodgate downstream of the main water pumps, you can forgetfulness-proof it in 7 seconds by just setting the height to 1.5 when temperate starts. The water will always have evaporated enough that there is no risk of losing water early and then no more potential for flooding!

You could remove the dead Birches next to the pastrie bakeries. Maybe level of the land a little bit, put in a 3×3 irrigation pool and you would have a really nice field for growing more wheat.
@mikeriley247510 ай бұрын
50:00 I think you should build a taller floodgate, that way you can just raise it and see if you like it as a "Levee" then if something bad happens you can just open it

Hi JC! May i suggest building platforms over the water reservoir and build housing there so you can claim more farming land? You said it’s not an aesthetic playthrough so…it might help to get all the aesthetic buffs to all beavers 😊

About the Badwater Drain. You can build a wall of floodgates, and as soon as the drought starts, you raise it and redirect the water into a reservoir. That way you don't have to worry about flooding your district anymore (theoretically) and you can use the water for storage instead of the one in your district or for badwater gethering.

Blast a single block out of the side wall in your spadderdock field and place a floodgate. That let's you alleviate flooding and/or flush water through it. There's a saying I've heard that relates to having to grind out tedious, yet neccessary tasks in gaming. I believe it comes from Minecraft - "You need to punch the trees to get the wood, to build the bench, to craft the thing". Take the time and effort to replace the path crossing the spiral with platforms. Short-term pain for long-term gain. I tend to do things like that in these games as my play style is "turtle" and I've got nothing but time on my hands. For example, I'd have at least 2 sets of floodgates uypstream of the town, probably three, just for the sake of redundancy and because I'm paranoid. There's also the fact that I have the luxury of playing for something to do and don't have to provide engaging content. You're doing well, mate.

I think you should close off that inlet with levees, now that the bodies of water are connected it should refill if needed through the larger inlet.
@alexkudzin498010 ай бұрын
50:50 levees is fine as you want the water to flow through the whaterwheels, however, you want an overflow for good water

Definitely need more farmhouses. At least one up top and one down bottom. Maybe pop in some new lumberjack flags too. So many uncut trees. They’ll never get to them. And I know you don’t like them, but get them beehives on the wheat, the negative is really not an issue, it’s like 0.1 or something, and only for the farmers as long as you’re careful with placement ☺️

@Mod3Red10 ай бұрын
At 1:10 on the video, to the side of the water wheels you have a one wide channel in the levees that has a dead end - might be good idea to infill/close the opening as there isn’t an exit at other end of channel for water/bad tide to escape?

If the power generation is fine you won't need to close the "bad water extra out lit" and irrigate the land by the scrap metal. You'll be able to farm with a new district.

→ "Why does the well-being go up when I flooded things - this doesn't make any sense" - you suddenly got 7 beavers without jobs, and they can do more free-time things. → I think instead of the big levee wall on top of the mountain to push the badwater spillover further upstream, you could have just blasted a channel further upstream to allow the badwater flow through. Possibly with floodgates, in case you want to store good water up, but I think even for the goodwater it's good having it more directly come down.

Why not widen the area of the waterwheels? I know it shouldn’t be a problem anymore. But I am thinking it’ll be a good idea Wet fur brother! 44:00 Put a dam on one spot at the spadderdock I don’t think you should.l remove the floodgates. But if you do, you’ll need to open up the three wide into the res 50:21. My vote is taller floodgates

I'm not sure prioritizing everything in the industrial zone was actually a good idea, as when you prioritize everything, you prioritize nothing. The audio is much, much better compared to your last family roadtrip. The 4 high terrain that was double dynamited could have been dynamited down 3x from the top, then 1 x from the bottom. Might as well replace those floodgates with levees. At minimum they need to be replaced with taller floodgates. There will also need to be a levee on the other side of those floodgates where the path to the stairs currently is. 50:50 It is possible to make a path that goes up to the scrap metal storage that stays on dry land and doesn't go into the water.

I think, around min 40-45, when the rating spiked and you didn’t know why, it’s because it flooded and they got wet fur. That’s had been on the very low red and jumped up to about half green. I was curious if you’ll do what you mentioned several episodes back and put in some flood gates up where the new outflow is up top. Then you could have another reservoir between the two flood gates that doesn’t hold bad water.
