Water Swallowing My World. HELP PLZ.

[p3nguiN]

Is it possible to make a way to remove water from your world, because i accidentally placed a block of water in the sky and it is slowly swallowing my Whole world. I worked hard on it and have 800+ colonists and dont want it ruined. If anyone knows a way to help, please let me know.

Unfortunately not. The only way to stop water is to fill in the blocks with something else. Water doesn't work like it does in minecraft. Water will spread infinitely until every block contains water up to the height of the source block (assuming no obstacles)

Are there any plans to change this?

Since you were using cheats anyway why not just rebuild it. I would not really say "you worked hard" on anything if you used cheats.

thats not true... cause with mods u either use cheats to get the new blocks into the game OR u gotta physcially program them into ur start up inventory..

i have 300 plus new textures.. only 2 ways to get to use them /loot each one, one at a time

or program them them into ur inventory with a new game..

There is a way and it is in server.json in gamedata\settings. It is this code:

"Water" : {
"TickTimeMilliSeconds" : 1000

Set the "TickTimeMilliSeconds": 1000 to something higher like 100000000 to stop the water spreading so you can remove it or block it in. Each zero increases the time it takes water to spread by a factor of 10.

1000 = 1 Second
10000 = 10 Seconds
100000 = 100 Seconds and so on.

The number I gave will keep water from spreading for 27 hours roughly.

As a side note you don't have to spawn it in or change your inventory. Make icons and modfy the crafting json files if you have to so you can make recipes for the items

i think theres even an easier way.cant he just set water to a solid...
in game data folder in types.json file...

"water" : {
"isSolid" : false,
"icon" : "water.png"

replace false to true.. shouldnt that work as well.. then he can remove the water block by block..



i already added them in.. i found a trick since i had a few textures lets say bricks... i named them bricks001 to bricks030... i threw it in notepad.. so next texture lets say wood.. all i did was have notepad replace the word bricks to wood.. and tada just copy and paste that now into the json and so on and so on...

That makes it so you colided with the block. With water I have no idea the affects but it wont stop spread.
