Terrain water evaporation factor (Water Overlay): Difference between revisions

Revision as of 08:40, 20 June 2019

Terrains can be configured with plant-related attributes, similar to constructions configured as crops and foliage, allowing it to draw water from the underground and evaporate it.

When a construction is present in any given location, the values for evaporation in the underground will overrule any values set by terrain in the same location. To model underground evaporation without a construction, set these attributes on the applicable terrain type instead.
The groundwater level reduction is inversely proportional to the WATER_STORAGE_PERCENTAGE, as the contribution of a given volume of water to the groundwater level increases when the capacity for water storage in the underground layer decreases.

-* When a construction is present in any given location, the values for evaporation of the construction will overrule any values set by terrain in the same location. This is also true if the construction has its evaporation values set to 0; they will overrule the terrain's values and thus not allow evaporation of underground water to occur.
+* When a construction is present in any given location, the values for evaporation in the underground will overrule any values set by [[Hydrological attributes of terrains (Water Overlay)|terrain]] in the same location. To model underground evaporation without a construction, set these attributes on the applicable terrain type instead.
 * The groundwater level reduction is inversely proportional to the [[terrain water storage percentage (Water Overlay)|WATER_STORAGE_PERCENTAGE]], as the contribution of a given volume of water to the groundwater level increases when the capacity for water storage in the underground layer decreases.
