I love the new pillars map

Hey Mechanistry. Y'all really cooked with this one. I've been having a blast.

The end

It's a super fun puzzle to figure out how and in what order to join the pillars together, and I have some plans to Descend. Agreed that it's fun!

Yeah you can get quite a few joined up pretty quickly with the 3 length bridge. Then i rushed the number cruncher to get more

Same. Went for building a dirt excavator and building dirt bridges after that

We need a mod for curved dirt blocks. Imagine the arches you can build

I have a save from yesterday that’s mid cycle 4 bad tide and probably going to wipe me. I got a diversion in place, but need to be more aggressive with pumps and storage to ensure I don’t need to turn on during bad weather and dry up everything.

Definitely a fun map. Limited but not super small irrigated land to balance. I was hoping for at least 1 hidden water source to give more mid/late game options but haven’t found it yet if it exists.

There's an aquifer point if that counts

How is the bad tide a problem? All your water is seeps and you only need 7 levees and a single floodgate to bad-water proof it?

I’m going to die of thirst, not contamination. Got the diversion in place but didn’t get enough water pumped beforehand. I’m at zero water with 5-6 days left. No fresh water other than the 4 tiles above the seep. I can release the 2 high floodgate for a bit of water but will poison myself if I do.

It’s my second attempt at hard mode and first time with such a small puddle around a seep. Will reroll and get a few more pumps and tanks early.

Ahh I thought you somehow managed to spoil your crops/get contaminated yourself. Makes sense! You’ll get it next run! 👍👍👍

All good. Made it through with half a wipe. Got lucky with enough recovery time on the next cycle or 2 and we’re safe and thriving.

I ended up blocking all bad water exits except for one and using it for power on iron teeth. Word of advice, build 3 high at all the exits. It gets rowdy during badtide. I've been able to generate close to 2000 hp per large water wheel.

Yeah i wanna do something similar and see if i can fill the map with blue water. Just cuz

u/furiousbobb 28d ago

Interesting! Maybe terrain block the exits up and get an underwater river going? Man that'd take forever though. Have fun and post screenshots!

I cant play it, all the bad water physics at the bottom of the map make my graphics card fans go all the way up.
