Having issues with water?

[Limited Amount]

Why can't i remove water? i have done flattening terrain and save and reload everything but the water just won't go away. If there is any solution on how to remove water from land, any suggestion might help.

you have to make sure the land turns green and sometimes let the game unpause for a few seconds for it to realize the water is gone.

yeah but water is acting weirdly. forming itself in a square shape and doing some weird stuff and whenever i do try make change to the terrain the issue crept up again.

There is also water spawners and you can never hide them.

well that's the whole problem i guess. BTW thanks for the reply. I got it now so there was groundwater in that area so even if i try water is just never going away permanently. I guess that's the biggest flaw with groundwater you can never change terrain around it otherwise water goes bonkers.

well , there was a small lake in the map i play. and increasing terrain height a bit and covering all the lake did work, no water or anything. i especially doing this for waste water.

if u mean flood again i managed to remove it by increasing terrain height and blanketing water body entirely.

other than that i really couldnt find anything to do about flood waters. we really need good old water physics or at least old cs1 pumping stations to vacuum water.

Yeah this odd enough water mechanics of CS2 doing some weird shenanigans already makes CS1 water mechanics look too good.

I have the same problem

There is no permanent solution. I guess if you wanna do this be sure to not make massive change to the terrain where underground water reserves are. I have read somewhere you can go upto 1 or 2 big line but that's it.

I have a problem with a random lake that spawned after like 20 hours in the middle of my town and I can't get rid of it. Trying to confine it just leads to more and more water appearing. (on a side note, am I the only one that finds the terrain tools horrendous?)

I made a mistake of messing terrain up around a small river and flooded half my city. Fortunately i hadnt built much on this particular area so what i had to do to remove the water was channel a very thin stream away from the newly formed "city lake" and have it rejoin the main river at an angle opposite to the direction of flow so as to ensure water didnt flow back up it.
Eventually by using clever terrain manipulation and time controls the lake drained back into the main river and i was able to raise the banks a little and flatten out the stream i had made so as to allow rezoning etc.
It is a pain in the ass not to have a sponge tool that allows removing small depths of isolated water like this though. Needs looking at for sure

well today i found this random issue with water out of nowhere. I was building my interchange and when i was connecting my highway to roundabout i actually connected it somehow horrendously and guess what roundabout got in this weird shape and when i did try to bulldoze everything around it out of nowhere water flooded the whole area, YES WATER!! It did disappear instantly though but it appeared out of nowhere in the middle of my land where i was just supposed to bulldoze my roundabout. IDK what it was? was it bug or some glitch in display but i got shocked out of my seat.

definitely a bug with terrain derformation when placing roads. that is something they really need to work on as well to be fair.
Sometimes you are placing roads or adjusting them with replace tool and a huge black hole appears because the logic they have coded is a bit funky still.
