Water tower problems

Post by RemotecUK »

Hi,

I am playing in the tropical climate and using all of the ECS vectors.

For some reason I cannot build water towers. They simply dont appear on the list of industries which I can fund.

Additionally, the city growth for cities in desert squares seems to be dependent on both delivery of water and food. I have tested this my having one city with only water delivered and one city with only food deliverd. Neither started to grow until I delivered both water and food. Is this correct?

If so, thats fine, but in some cities after a while the residents seem to "build over" their water tower with other buildings. As I cannot fund one directly myself this simply stops the growth of that city in its tracks. No water tower, inability to fund one and the requirement for both food and water for growth.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks :)

I've had this problem too. I overcame it by loading the savegame in the scenario editor and building a water tower there. I believe this is a bug in ECS.

Additionally the TTRS water towers don't actually accept water, which they probably should. There was one of those in my city, but it didn't accept water.

The city "building over" the water tower shouldn't happen either, this might be due to the magic bulldozer cheat (although I have never had this problem)

Oh, and welcome to the forums :)
