Water level rising out of blue, flooding progressively entire map

[Femboy]

Today I've launched Cities skylines 2 for a first time since probably a few months. I thought that after quite some time, developers would have greatly improved the game. I was mistaken after short 6-8 minutes since starting a new city. Starting at sunshine peninsula i've probably achieved level 3 city. After this my city began to flood what made me curious what happened. Shortly after looking for cause, I saw 2 huge pillars made out of water that went high up to the moon probably. I've tried starting new cities several times in a row, after which i've abandoned the idea of playing on sunshine peninsula thinking that it must be an issue with the map. Then I started a new city, on a fresh save on corral riches. I've played it for maybe 10-15 minutes after which my city has flooded out of blue for whatever reason. Additionally i've noticed that the entire water level on "buildable" land has risen so high that doing anything was just unachieveable. This left me wondering, am I the only one who experienced this type of problem?

hmm I wonder if the water simulation got bugged. I noticed in my water nodes have been acting weird lately in map editor. Where If I slightly adjust flow it sky rockets and floods my whole map, I wonder if that is related somehow.

I've also been having this issue. I try to avoid maps with large bodies of water, like oceans or huge lakes, which is frustrating. Mountain Village has been the safest map for me.

This has also been happening to me, the river in my city is flooding the plains around it, very annoying.

Water now has seasonal flows (like during rain season your water levels will go up and during dry summer they will go down. Pretty sure you can disable this in the map options or use the "Water Features" mod.

I personally love the flooding and use the mod "Water Features" to increase the water levels if the map I play is a bit "lack luster", which forces me to reacts when flooding is ongoing, I might have to move dirt around and make it act like a barrier. Later on I might terraform in something permanent and create channels to control the water and in some cases I will raise up roads/bridges and let it flood wherever it wants... etc. It's a mini game.

You make of it what you want to make of it. Imagination is the only thing stopping you :)

I want to build a city not manage water levels on a river.
I wouldn't mind the flooding as much but features like the pumping station and canals are missing.
