I am confused about how to route water in this game. How am I meant to stop the badtide on the left side of the default "lakes" map?
I followed some youtube tutorial about automating floodgates and figured out some way to send the right side off the map.
I cant figure out what to do for the left besides let it flow all the way down the left side of the map. I stopped the red tide from going through the middle of my settlement but I need to expand over there soon to get some metal and other things. So I need to stop the badtides from going there.
Sidenote I am a new player this week and I find this games youtube tutorials about blocks and constructions and techniques really bad. Most of them are severely out of date and use things not even in the game anymore, and none of them disclose the version they are talking about. And the wiki isnt very helpful to me. I wish the in game tutorial really got into how to use all the landscaping/water related constructions. I feel like I dont understand what im doing or what I need to do with water routing which seems like the core of the game. Idk how the core of the game has zero tutorial or explanations beyond like 4 words of text in the blurbs.
Either way im here asking for specific advice about the left. I dont understand how to fix this so the red water leaves the map faster.
