[SSU] yenyang's Rainfall Mod

[ghosty20 150]

Found this cool mod in the Workshop that adds a whole new level to water management, mainly to do when it rains..  In that when it rains it will actually have an effect on your city and that it is not just a cosmetic feature as it is now..  If this mod works as intended (yet to try it) then this will add more depth and complexity to an already awesome game..

Quoted from the Workshop page..

Rainfall brings simulation depth and new gameplay elements to the primarily cosmetic game concept of dynamic weather that was introduced with Snowfall. When the game is raining, this mod adds a water source for each building that pours water onto your streets. You must create and manage a storm drain network in order to protect your city from suffering the effects of flooding. You should be aware of and plan out the grading of any zoned roadways and add storm drain inlets to any low points in the roads. Options for Storm Water Management include surface ponds, underground detention systems, canals, and riverine channels.

It seems like a cool mod (and something that would have been cool to have in the base game). I'll prob not try it out as I mainly just like building pretty cities, but for those who love the realistic simulation aspect it's a great addition.

It's actually pretty cool.  You can adjust the "difficulty" to affect how badly your cities get flooded (including not at all).  It's not just flooding either.  You have the ability to add all sorts of drains and outflows to manage water flow.

I tried it out in a relatively flat desert city.  Immediately, I had trouble with my sunken highways and rails flooding until I install drain intakes.  The other problem was finding a place to put the water.
