Building floodgates from the top
« on: May 28, 2017, 10:34:48 am »

Now floodgates are pretty the same as bridges and doors in functionality. To make the difference and more reasons to use them I suggest to change them like this:
- floodgates can be constructed on a tile with no floor and no building on z-1 level;
- it's open after construction and looks like floor;
- after pulling the lever the floodgate closes and blocks z-1 level. On z level there's still just floor.
This will change everything.

Building floodgates from the z-level above their final location sounds quite useful.  To begin with, it would make redirecting rivers much easier and more straightforward.
