Aquaducts

Hi,

Thought it'd be cool to have water tunnels for ships. I use a lot of ships in channels/rivers but it thought it'd be cool to have tunnels...

or even if hovercrafts could go on land

Hello,

I agree with you...
BTW there is already a topic:

Uh, Smudge, aqueducts (it's not spelled aquaduct) are bridges with water on top...

tunnels and bridges would be cool.

yeah, that should be cool

but a bit unrealistic if you make an acqueduct, or water tunnel 100 tiles long

they should be used to bypass "little" obstacles (little means at max a 5 or 6 height levels canyon or a narrow hill), or with no limits but more expensive of canals

tunells should have a minimum distance below a town or industry

cant you just build an channal?

canals are good, but aquaducts/tunnels are necessary to avoid having to landscape the whole area or use locks to get over/under things

a tunnel as demonstrated in the first photo is defeating the point of canals.

A few weeks ago peter1138 asked me for some aquaduct sprites. Which I produced. What could they be for?

think he mean something like this. it can be sometimes useful.

That might be fine for a sloop or something, but I'd like to see a real aqueduct that can handle a supertanker.

Which is why I drew this.

chairface, show me a bus that's the same size as a train engine that's the same size as a skyscraper...

Some fiddling with scale is one thing, and rather necessary. Aqueducts for effectively capital ships is another thing. Admittedly, I don't think there's tunnels for such vessels either, but it's a lot less of a stretch. The weight of the water such a thing would have to hold is staggering.

i think someone already described where 1 is in the other topic.

actually each "house" square in TTD is about 10 houses in one (hence the 30 population), so each house is 1/10th the size of a skyscraper.
