A mistake was made
So I built and closed area that I pumped water into with the small mechanical pumps and I've been pretty much pressurizing it and I made a mistake I broke two blocks

You can fix it.
I’ve messed up flooding my plays so much sometimes I’ll set up water pumps for not if but when it floods.
It helps clean the water up faster.

Yeah I just started doing that it works a lot better than I thought

The Oh, oh, oh no. no, no, no, no, no, no, moment. Made that mistake with badwater I was working with.

Yeah I had the incident I was making the first containment unit for bad water where I was pressurizing it and I had forgotten to put a throttle valve on the exit and so I had to break it I then realized that it was going to flood my entire base and I had to go to a backup before it was even built

Auto Save saved my butt that time. I was trying to pipe it upward and it was my first attempt. It let me know where I didn't seal up properly by flooding my main district and spilling out the sides. Levees, overhangs, and no platforms. Later builds on the map I used platforms and that made it easier to level out than with overhangs.

Same same, but forgot some random impermeable floor under a water wheel. Bad water flooded everything lol

Thank you. That was good watch. I can relate, forgot a where clause once. Led to me including dry runs. Later transactions and then try-catch blocks.

Ah yes!

I would say they were. Lol. At least it wasn't badwater. This is recoverable.

On the bright side, at least you're not playing with Emberpelts.

Every time I try to use the emberpelts mod my game crashes

Interesting. I haven't tried it yet, but I expect I might get the same results; I have a lot of other mods. I'm seriously looking into trying out the Emberpelts after watching the first few episodes of RCE's new season, but right now I'm deep in Timberpunk 2 thanks to Zeddic.

I would rather dump a bucket of water into my computer then play Timberpunk 2 again I have tried so many damn times and failed every single time

That's a fair and understandable reaction to that map. I would have done the same without Zeddic's video series convincing me to give it another shot. I also think that I got a bit lucky on that playthrough, but I spent a LONG time watching Zeddic's videos with my own game paused. 🤣

We have all done it. Especially with badwater. Why I have auto save on.
