but it is an eternal canal?
or I can raise it with the flatten terrain mod, if I change my mind?
and I can build in?

[RedKetchup]

yes, and yes you can use flatten tool to raise it back up

[assobanana76]

so .. I can dig a strip of 1x7, built in the canal of Maal and, if I change my mind, demolish the channel and raise everything with flatten terrain ..
great !!
in this way the irrigation canal will be much more real visually to a lowest level of the crops / orchards !!!
great !!

do you own tests and you will see

my fear is to mess with installing / uninstalling mods and see me with a hole forever on the map or worse with the crash of the game!
However I'll try tonight with a new short game!
thanks!

@RedKetchup
I tried .. but does not work ..
your mod creates a chasm 1x1 but when I put the canal of Maal the chasm closes (not quite perfectly) leaving the canall suspended a few cm ..
I had flat with the Flatten Terrain Mod then lay properly canal of Maal ..
apparently you can not put the canal at a different level from 0 ..

I'd really like something like a lock for the canals... and maybe a smaller floodgate for the creeks... 
And if you don't want to make a full-sized wide version, maybe just one piece where boats could pass each other?

[RedKetchup]

i will try to make a lock or something when i ll be back to it and redo them all

[Paeng]

Ah cool, I was hoping you'd do a v2... 

So have you decided yet how you'll make them?
Are you going to make them modular for varied width - sth. like this?
* Not sure though if that can handle the digging/flattening process well...

Ah yes! that's exactly how i proposed it a few pages back..
with images much clearer! thanx @Paeng !


i don't think the digging would be any different then it is now.
It will be lesser pieces in the mod, to reach the same effects (straight, 3way, 4way)
the only problem i foresee might be the canal bridge, since building a regular bridge is impossible..

Canal housing! We need canal housing!

[RedKetchup]

yeah @Paeng  thats pretty much all the pieces in your .png + the docks and tp.
i ll make them 1 tile larger and probably change the texture of the stone for one more compatible with CC quay walls

[bubbamcgee]

@RedKetchup - Would it be possible for you to create a 2 to 3 tile length curve & diagonal for the canal?  It would look much more natural than having a 90 degree turn, which is not practical for canal boats. 

[RedKetchup]

it can be very hard cause we dont have alot of control on the 'digging' holes in the ground. we cant dig half or quarters of tile.
i dunno. when i ll be there i ll check if i can spend a couple of hours
