Holy cow, heblem, now that is what you can call a dam! 3.gif 

Did you make it by your own? I am always in search of nice hydro power plants but never saw that beauty! 

My first approach to a river dam with a low height difference (update in the old CJ Forum): 

From the

Same page, a layout in construction: 

Power Plant and Locks

It hasn't been shown in further updates. 

Have fun!

That's beautiful Heblem. And I like the quaintness of yours, Nardo69.

How do you make the height difference in the two bodies of water?

My god Heblem. o.O I don't know what you did, or how you did it, or how you even came across such magnificent of a lot(s), but I know numerous others are now staring at their monitors in jealousy.

abcvs, that's some mighty fine work with all that flora and ploppable water. All these are great!

Wow those dams are amazing. I could never build those; you have to be so precise with the water and sides of the water to get them to fit in and lok realistic. Great Job!

Stunning work, Heblem! It's absolutely amazing! And the landscaping skills of abcvs.. Wow! 25.gif

All the other dams look fantastic too. It's good to see that the available dams actually are being used. I've had dams in my plugins folder for a very long time, but I never got to use them..

After constructive critism from Nardo69 (Great pic, btw), I decided to re-do the Norwick Hydroelectric Dam. Here's the result:

Hope you like it.

Dam ! Should I see this post earlier, would have saved me a lot of time in handmaking this.

Anyway, this is a new region and I decided to go green -> hydroelectric power.

Although it doesn't look like, but a lot of testing have been done.

Closer look.

Wow, that is one impressive dam Heblem. Nathanthemayor, haven't you posted that same picture in three threads now? Seems a bit redundant.

    Ah thanks, I'll need to mess around with the config.bmp first though, my region is getting pretty full, but I will definately have a go with that later.

    Looks great. Translation isn't completely clear, however. Does your dam provide power & jobs? If so, how much? I'd provide space for a dam if it could power all the surrounding cities w/power.

    Big :thumb: for that. Seems like you've created some nice dam pieces, and a really useful tutorial.

    I'd try it but unfortunately my recent region is way to flat :(

    Looking good people. Wait, shouldn't this thread include reservoirs and such as well; "Show Us Your... Dams and Reservoirs". Just a thought 43.gif

    Think we've got rivers and lakes covered, so we can go with reservoirs. -CaptCity
