NOT A BUG - Irrigation Channels (River Improvs) not working

[velvet tendon]

I thought things were weird when it didnt provide any increases on the tooltip before you build them.

wait, hydropump stopped working too

So clearly something weird with rivers.

I did find weird my Industry looked worse a few turns ago, thought it was cuz i had dropped out from jubilant

Irrigation Channels (River Improvs) not working

[wind goblet]

You need dams on rivers to keep rivers rivers

Otherwise they will dry up after some time

@velvet tendon

Check if river is river first

[velvet tendon]

That's... what

I will check when I get home

[wind goblet]

Stream doesnt count as river

So does it work or no?

You gotta do some experiments with the rivers, i always never know where will be river or stream

Even with those icons

[velvet tendon]

Yeah the rivers had become streams

Managed to fix it by building 3 dams at once spaced to revitalize the whole thing

I see zero reason for that to be a thing

What's the mechanic here? What causes rivers to change? And how do you know if rivers are no longer rivers? And how do you change them back to rivers?

[wind goblet]

For as long as you have dams on river it stays river, rest tbh idk, cause ive not been playing long enough

And theres none rivers faction

[wind goblet]

Ok so after some practice, if you make dam all things on top of it till the waterfall are going to be a river tiles

And when theres no river down the dam you can make another one and its going to become river, which is interesting

What??? River can dry??? I haven't noticed that and i have playd 2000turns, there should be a Tutorial about this

[lunar hemlock]

I agree it doesnt explain well sometimes. I have to randomly find the solutions depending on what kind of matches you're playing. But yes they dry out. You can build a dam I think to preserve the water

[pallid venture]

It kinda explained in damb tooltips
But not enough

[wind goblet]

There shall be advanced tutorial

Or video

Bumping this, it seems Hydropump isnt working, but Irrigation Channel is. As seen in this Aspect game, where I can buy out a Hydropump, but it does not affect the Farm next to a Stream (and Streams are a River class)

[velvet tendon]

I still dont get why have this mechanic. It is just an annoyance
