Rivers

[YamSmasher]

After searching for hours for a home site I think I've found an okay spot. The valleys in this game look awesome but ideally the valley I settle in would have a river! I tried making my own but completely ♥♥♥♥♥♥ it up, I really hope he adds rivers soon or at least a rework of the water system to make them easier to make. Not only would it be pleasing on the eyes but once boats get added it would be a great form of transportation in and out of my eventual village.

yes it is hard to work with water, it think there are plans for improvement though

Non-static water is not possible yet, but it would be cool if Red51 could add water blocks with corners and diagonals, It would be easier to create rivers in creative mode.

Dude that's awesome! It's not even that I want non static water necessarily, I just wish rivers like what you made would be generated, doesn't have to be flowing

Still no rivers? I didn't play for a very long time. I'm currently searching for a nice spot to settle but I only find big puddles of water or the ocean. No river or even lakes.

Since you revived this post, I'll say rivers are not in game as of yet. There are most certainly fresh water lakes, you might need another seed or more exploration.

I explored quite a bit, and ended up in my first settlement I wanted to leave xD So yeah, I'll try another seed.

just some info. on the RW development map flowing water is a planned feature for the unity version

[Jdwarfer]

I checked the roadmap before posting. I'm very excited about the unity version.
I didn't realized the current one was in java.

+1

I agree, Walter.

And water type of beams, planks (for a cascade) and log, (for the faucets).

There is a seed called

Lake

;))

Underground rivers would be cool too.
And siphons

Absolutely Agree underground rivers ( and lakes) would be amazing

It would be awesome if they managed to get flowing rivers in the game.
There's a mod for Minecraft called Real Rivers or something like that, it added rivers that actually had flowing water.
They carved through mountains and created amazing waterfalls, its by far one of my favorite mods for Minecraft. It generated with flowing water blocks instead of source blocks, so it simulated flowing water. I'm sure if a Minecraft modder could make such a nice river system, it wouldn't be too hard to get a similar system in Rising World, especially with Unity.

The only downs side is I'm sure it would cause some weirdness to the water if you took out a large chunk of land around it, and probably really hard to create manually, outside of world generation.

About minecraft I remember a mod called Finite liquid. It was amazing. The water had realistic behavior, and like the name said, it was not infinite. When it rains, holes could be filled in water. Caves could be flooded and so on. You could make new type of mechanics with water physics.
Unfortunately the author stopped working on it and it's been abandoned.

Does that work? I tried that before, and wound up being a random seed anyways.
