I have some tips. When you want to level a road or sea wall to one level, highlight the whole thing with MoveIt and use the make level tool that is part of MoveIt. Also when you use these drain pumps you don't have to connect them to pipes like you do. If you have the 81 tiles mod it has a setting that makes them connect without pipes. Hape I have saved you some time.

You can drag the water sources up and down with landscape tools. When dragged below the current water level, they act as a drain. Taken down to the lowest level can completely drain rivers and lakes. When there's pretty much just a puddle left, delete the water source and that remaining puddle will dry up very quickly. Much quicker and easier, I do this all the time (rivers in my case) when building a dam. End of the river, I'll place a water source and set it to the current level, go upstream about 1/3rd the way, place another source and drop its level as low as it will go. Place a bit of dirt taking the old waterline up a line or two. Empty at bottom of dam and top. The entire area becomes bone dry..

You should build a city that's an archipelago, with bridges and tunnels connecting the islands. Bonus points if you build an architect city at the bottom before you flood it all.

Growing up in a city (in NL) with an aquaduct I’ve never realized it was so special 😅.

5:45 Ahhh yes, a civil engineers worst nightmare… sharp water

The problem the Dutch had was that the original track for the highway had to be aborted when one final homeowner decided to demand a bigger cheque (I forget the amount but it was presented as over 4X the value of the property). The municipality of course told him where to stick it, and retracted their offer. The highway was redirected, which caused a HUGE delay, but in classically no-nonsense Dutch fashion, no attempt whatsoever was made to hide why this delay was happening. When a local newscrew came out demanding why the completion date had been pushed back so absurdly far, they got a straight and unflinching answer that everything was on schedule but somebody was trying to get rich quick off extorting the city, forcing a mid-build redesign and a further two years of traffic. They even left the abrupt 90“ bend in the highway at the edge of the property (with warning signage of course) , and it is there to this day! I go by it every time I head south to visit my parents in France. Shit like this makes me SO proud to be a Dutchman. ;D

Cost is a factor for deciding on a aquaduct versus a bridge, but aquaducts are much easier when there aren't much boats with a lot of depth but there are boats with a lot of height, we have a lot of dedicated sailing routes in the Netherlands, bridges are required to open every 30 minutes to a hour to allow the sailing boats to pass, aquaducts eliminate that issue.

I love all of you Vids Matt, Keep up the good work

Loved it! Gonna try these out!

There's just something special about a Civie, who specialized in roads and drainage, flooding cofferdams over-and-over-and-over...

So what you're saying is that in order to solve the problem of how to not build a bridge, they ended up building a bridge... Still, it's actually quite brilliant. It allows uninterrupted flow (both for ships and vehicles), unlike alternatives such as a drawbridge, and costs quite a bit less. It's also structurally much simpler, as it only needs to support the weight of the water, not the ships crossing (floating objects displace water in all direction, the weight isn't transferred straight down).

I love these videos hope you keep them coming

16:36 nice commercial btw

The main reason would not be necessarily cost saving, but not having to open the bridge to let boats with masts through saves a lot of time.

Hey I live near this aquaduct irl. I hope this doesn't imply I have to make an educated statement about how it was made 😅 What I do like to share: If someone ignores the sign which say so (which is likely me tbf) there's no way of telling your about to drive under a lake. Because from a cars perspective, you don't see the water. It just never fails to amaze me to see the masts of a sailboat crossing the road just before you go underground. Something that gives the same wow effect nearby is a taxi lane bridge - for airplanes - crossing a highway. You know it's there, but it's pretty intimidating every time you're driving under a ginormous speeding Boeing or Airbus on it's 'little wheels' towards the airport. 😄 But I'm sure this is a lot more common worldwide then boats crossing a bridge.
