Hi Everyone!
Our next update is available for beta testing! We'll post an announcement with the final in-depth changelist and when the update is ready for final release, but here's the big picture stuff you can check out right now in the beta:
Water System Revamp - reworked aqueducts distribute water so much less is wasted, along with a priority system. We've also added more flexibility in destroying pieces of the water system without destroying aqueduct lines you've already built.
Improved Water Tower UI - water tower UI shows in-flow, out-flow, and consumption rates more clearly. We've also added this information to the bath reservoirs.
New Building - Water Outlet - this new building allows you to take water from aqueducts and release it back into the world.
Tap Sides of Dam - place water taps at multiple heights along the side of a dam wall
Improve terrain editing flexibility - edit terrain around rocks, resource deposits, and roads
How to Try the Beta:
While we've done some initial testing and fixing, there's likely some bugs left still. If you'd like to try it out, here's how:
Right click on the game in your steam library
Choose Properties > Game Versions & Betas > Select 'next-version-preview'.
