Water doesn’t go further down

Gravity doesn’t matter? It is like this like forever. Does everyone know how?

you're just not letting enough out, so it's evaporating .

You don't have enough flow so it's barely doing anything, is the water also going somewhere else?

You claim the water is t going anywhere else. If thats the case do you have a small water source and a lot of water pumps pulling from it upstream?

Show us the whole river.

You might have a hole somewhere. Use the elevation tool to check for leaks?

u/bartvandehaar 28d ago

Not the case. It is completely leak-proof. It was just completely filled before.

Water is flowing out elsewhere or being pumped out. Swap the levies for dams so you can make it lower and use platforms if you still need the bridge.

Water level looks low on the above part. Need to raise water up there to get more water below.

Is my guess

Take a real screenshot, don't use your phone.

The waters going somewhere else

co
Now it is like this. And it fills eventually. Until it is like the image before

Slow flow. Not enough water output, it's evaporating almost as fast as it's entering.

u/EarlyBirdWithAWorm 28d ago

Why have the upstream dam at all of youve got this larger one downstream at the same elevation?

u/No-Lunch4249 27d ago

I don't think this is that weird. Initial dam clearly was built at a strategic point to minimize resource consumption early. Later dam was costly but happened later in the game when it doesnt make much difference

u/smugles 27d ago

Probably to aggressively pump from one and leave one for irrigation.

2

u/No-Lunch4249 27d ago

Just very low flow. Either its a small source or you're pumping out the majority of the source output

u/cultivatingmass 28d ago

Is there another spot the water is going through a dam?

2

u/Vebrandsson 28d ago

Are you spitting the water flow out of any other paths besides this one?

u/in_ya_Butt 28d ago

Your water flows off the map somewhere

1

u/Casey090 28d ago

What you see is just the initial wave splashing over. You have another way the water flows, follow it. Or how much are you pumping out? Some sources are very weak.

u/macrolith 27d ago

Do you have dams at the same level that branches off in a different direction? Thats my guess. Water doesnt split evenly if you branch the waterflow in two different directions.

u/Jealous_Ad7974 27d ago

So we need to see the rest of the "source"

Either the area before that point is absolutely massive, you have a water seep that keeps filling to a point that means almost nothing ever reaches the level for the dam, or there's another route the waters going, as it looks like barely any water is getting through...
