Save game. Quit to desktop. Restart Steam. Load again. Fixed?

It eventually does drain/evaporate, but it takes much longer than it did in CS1. I accidentally flooded a neighborhood after terraforming, but it eventually dried up a few in-game days later, so it does take time.


Also, keep in mind, terraforming over flooded areas doesn't resolve the issue. When building the water still exists under the ground and you will not be able to build until the water dries up.

nope its still just flooded everywhere

Ill try and keep waiting but I have been for a few days already and it still seems to sit around. Its got to the point the whole area isnt accesible, cant build on it anymore, and now theres ruins.

Gotcha. Yeah. It does take some time. I also terraformed a piece of land to even it out for a bridge and water got stuck under the ground for quite a while before I was able to actually build the bridge.

Hope it resolves itself in your city.

I WAITED AND WAITED, THE WATER IS SUBSIDING. Its taken almost an in game week but it is finally clearing up. If I didn't know sooner I probably would have bulldozed everything. THANK you

glad the water finally dried up.

Yeah it takes a long ass time for water to dry up this time around. gotta be extra careful when terraforming.

it takes a LONGGGG time to dry out... also, there are some "flooding" bugs where land with zero water will suddenly have that state and won't ever let it go.. it's a known bug on their current list, they just don't exactly know WHY it happens lol so... when it does bug out, you can't fix it, you can only start a new map or go back to an older autosave

Does waterpumps drain water if you put them in limited amounts of water? I raised ground to make a big pool and put a sewer drain there which filled it and created a small 'waterfall'.

Where can I find their known bug list?

I did some terraforming alongside the river and made some high cliffs to make sure no water will flood my city. After unpausing my game the water came through my cliffs. There definetly are no „holes“ where it could have gone through. Now my city is under water. Any advise how to resolve this? Waiting is no option I guess since the root cause is not fixed and more and more water floods my city…
