Why are there no water physics!!

[Muen47]

I'm so sad that there is no water physics. Or are there? Please correct me if I'm wrong... I didn't any possibility that water can flow from different elevations, posing risks of flood. All I see is still water... pretending to have a flow. If there will no water management thing like flood control, tsunami protection, or dam, I would probably go back to the old CS1 and admire those amazing water physics.

As a civil engineering student, that janky water physics from CS1 is enough. To be able to see water flowing from higher elevation to lower elevation is so just amazing enough in VDO games, especially in city building game. Ignore those who say water physics in CS sucks, they are super cool. Improvements on the water physics, like more realistic flow speed, like adding super critical flow(fast flowing water), is cool and all, but please just bring some kind of water physics back! Pleaseeee

Water physics are about the same as Skylines 1 except super slow. Been trying to fill up a lake for a long time, about 6 months in game. Check your contour lines for slop, rivers near the ocean aren't going to be flowing much.

Ahh I see, water really flows. I just figured that out. It is indeed super slow. I wonder why they did that to the speed of water flow, it's really unrealistic. I would say that CS1's water speed is more realistic. And the fact that this game tries to be more realistic? Does this game is trying to be realistic?? Not so sure about that rn

DId someone get a dam to work? It always too low water depth although the reservoir is filled up?

They probably slowed it down because it was so easy to annihilate your entire city with a puddle

Same question. It works but at low efficiency. I get more power when there is rain which makes sense, but its weird that even so it never fills up.

I can't get water to drain, ever.
