Additional Information
The centerpiece of Build 17278206 is the continued refinement of the Badwater system. Unlike regular water, Badwater pollutes the riverbeds, kills crops, and sickens your beaver population. This update introduces more granular control over fluid dynamics, allowing players to build complex sluices and automated floodgate systems with greater precision. The logic behind fluid flow has been tightened, ensuring that when you redirect a contaminated stream away from your main reservoir, the transition is smoother and less prone to "ghost" pollution that previously lingered in low-flow areas.
