I wasn't aware of this - what's the nature of the asset you'd have at a water hex? Do you mean something adjacent to the lake such as a truck depot or something specialised?vartain wrote: Thu Feb 15, 2024 9:00 am I assume the cause might be this change:

-Free Water is now only collected in Hexes where you have Assets. If more than 2000 workers/pop working in Hex free water is collected here (less than 2000 is less collection). Remember that the best Hex free water collection has most impact and things taper off with additional collection Hexes.
Save attached.

Just gave this a try by starting an agri-dome next to the lake and it does indeed open up the water access through just having the construction workers there. 'Water malus' was a bad choice of words on my part, meant deficit. Thanks for the replies - much appreciated! Couldn't work this one out - I'll have to keep a closer eye on the release notes in future.Don_Kiyote wrote: Thu Feb 15, 2024 10:06 am The asset thing makes sense. I mean, the game does seem to be working like that these days.
You can also build an asset beside a river for a nice bonus, iirc. I don't know if this 'heavy water malus' you speak of applies to river water.
It's more interesting when water is scarce. So we are seeing variations on the 'Desert Planet' maps from earlier game versions. Water is gradually being re-scarcified.
