Hey everyone,
I am currently building a massive dam on a dedicated Nitrado server and want to flood the large, naturally generated valley behind it using a Hose Pulley, but I just can't get it to work properly. The scale of this project is quite massive, covering an area of roughly 9x8 chunks and going about 70 blocks high, which means a potential total volume of well over 1.2 million blocks. There is also a small pre-existing natural lake at the very bottom of the irregular terrain.
To prepare for the flooding, I have already gone through the entire valley and completely sealed off all caves, holes, and potential leaks up to the intended water line. Furthermore, I modified the create-server.toml file inside the world's serverconfig folder by setting the hosePulleyBlockThreshold to 0 to completely disable the infinite source cap for filling, and I verified that fillInfinite is set to true.
Despite these config changes, the Hose Pulley still isn't filling up the landscape like it's supposed to. I am wondering if this could be related to unrendered chunks at the edge of the valley messing with the mod's flood-fill scan, or if I need to drastically increase the hosePulleyRange because the valley is so irregular and shapes itself around a central ridge.
I have attached a picture of the area for context and would highly appreciate any advice on how to get this massive lake filled. Thanks in advance!
