No lakes at Waterfall starting location, after reaching "Lakes" stage ?

[Jakedk]

I don't have liquid water at the starting location, even though lakes have appeared at the standard start location, and all the other places on the map, where there is supposed to be water.
Is it a bug, or do I just have to be patient?

I'm 25 % progress towards the "Moss" stage, which comes after "Lakes"

It takes longer for the ones at the waterfall to show up. Someone else mentioned this the other day, I dont remember which stage it starts there off hand.

Tnx for the answer. Then I'll just keep terraforming and wait for some water to show, so I have somewhere to put my Algea Generators :-)

In my case the waterfall appears after I reached the herbal stage. I also noticed, the green moss appears after the herbal stage in the region waterfall.

And I though that was interesting because I seem to remember to have read a long while ago that the Waterfall is supposed to have water even before terraforming reaches an according stage... Maybe it used to be and they changed it?

Yes, You are quite correct, Emily. When the "Insects and Waterfalls" content patch was released, the Waterfall did indeed have water right off the bat. And also had a small lake surrounding it. There was no cave tho, that came later when the area was reworked and other stuff added in for the "lore and Automation" content patch.
Have they changed it with the new patch ?? I don't know tbh. Usually I start a brand new playthrough when new content is released, but I have not done that this time, so for me, the Waterfall is the same as it has always been since the beginning.

Happy Planteering.....

So, did anyone figure out if this is a bug that there is no water at the waterfall or if it is planned that way? I just restarted at the waterfall and I don't have any water either. Just checking to see what was decided.

I would say it is deliberate.

Tagged as spoiler because of the location, but that should encompass a lot of the water around the waterfall itself. All it has to do is rise up a bit.
I am currently at lakes and a quarter of the way to moss.

Thanks. I wasn't sure what to think! I will be patient then!

That is the area behind the waterfall, near the waterfall wreck. This is around 50% towards moss. It is easy to forget how high up the waterfall area is.

Awesome! Thanks for sharing. I just need to keep working the game and just give it time. I am just now starting the Lakes phase.

It's a shame, I started on waterfall for the new update and now I feel like I have to have a satellite base at the original landing site to farm algae.... Although I haven't tried farming algae in the mushroom cave nearby....

[Crescens]

It is possible, that is what I was doing. But the pools of water there are smaller, so it can be more annoying. It is only an extra stage though, since algae can be grown at the waterfall area itself when you are close to the moss phase.

It's so funny. I was playing earlier in the week and I happened to be looking where the lakes would be and all of the sudden I realized it was filling with water before my very eyes! So I now have lots of water at my home base. Thanks!
