Happy Tuesday! You always want the arrows for the dirt to be pointed in the direction they will build them in. So, you should have pointed the arrows from one shore to the other. Interesting you got the other right if you want them to build from the future path, But I would have built them the other way so they could work on more than one block at a time. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Unless this is the way you want them to build it. Then just ignore everything I just said besides the happy part. Thanks :)

[@MrStoneIV_]

Yeah, I didn't want the interior dirt built yet, I figured when they finish the line of dirt, then they can do the rest later. Hope you are having a great Tuesday!

Rather than an irrigation tower/water dump, I'd recomend a mechanized pump into the channel from the crater spring's source. It could reach up to 4 tiles deep so keep the channel fully irrigated over drouts, can never overfill as it will shut off when the pump discharge nozzle is 'blocked', and you can power it passively with a windmill unlike those ironteeth! Water towers were still more water costly than a water dump... NVM! I just realised water tower was removed in update 5 for this very reason! You just need a water lock: aka a small tiny pool with a 1 high levee immediately by the pump for bad tides: the tiny pond can be sealed during the bad tide and not flood the channel, and the one tile or so of badwater will be too dilute to really damage crops when you re-open the channel after the tide.

Thanks! The whole irrigation system needs work. I'm making lots of dirt areas, but they will be dry unless I do something different. Something to think about for sure.

[@rogerexcell249]

@@MrStoneIV_ Indeed, very much far in the future. Drying out one of the craters was a very ambitious idea I wouldn't have considered myself. I'd be spending wood I had little space to grow on stilted cities and wasting years! I always have issues with food too... your 100 beavers terrifies me. I never got over 80 and franticly worked on beaver golems to save food... Is there a trick to farms? Is overlapping them to work the same area actually bad?

[@reitznerdomenik]

The dirt blocks in the first row have the wrong rotation. The open side of the arrow on the block is where they can build from.

Personally I'd love to have 1 hour episodes of this series!

[@MrStoneIV_]

Several people have asked for longer episodes. The only thing holding me back is time. Perhaps in the near future I can switch things up a little bit. I want to get through a little more of Medieval Dynasty and then try a little bit of Manor Lords and those require a little more time just to make things happen. Thanks for letting me know!

@@MrStoneIV_ It's all good man, I'm loving the craters map so far and I'm only wanting to see more since I'm working away and can't do any playing myself 😂. Keep up the amazing work though, can't wait to see what happens over the next few weeks

[@davidcrofts5246]

@@MrStoneIV_ I did have a thought about the gravity batteries too, while you're building all the dirt blocks up you can leave gaps for the grav bats to drop into. Saves you some time and tnt later.

[@rafpalma1435]

Instead of using water dump or irrigation pump, would it be better to make canals and spread it all over?

[@MrStoneIV_]

It certainly would. I need to figure out how I'm going to irritate all the fields

[@Modhunter42]

Q- "Why not?" [build a path on top] A- Because you can't put Windmills on top if the path is on top... You only missed 1 block that you didn't blowup, that blocks the Path Under your power shafts... 3600 Dirt = 600 terrain blocks... not a lot no. But I don't think they will build those until you turn the arrows around (scrap, start over).

[@MrStoneIV_]

Nope, I'm just building the dirt path for now, not the whole flat area... yet :) Windmills will be going on the path, I love that idea.

[@Modhunter42]

@@MrStoneIV_ No, I mean you were Already doing that, but then stopped One block short of continuing your path Under without needing to go on top... Sure you havn't put in the 3-4 ways, to make upgrades easier, but you have the Overhead power line.
