Like the Mod wondering about an addition of changes check out the Discussions section and post what you think of the Suggestion

I mostly play in experimental, it works there as well.

PSA - this mod works with current stable.

any news or updates on this mod?

Yeah let's all depend mods on libraries that then end up not being updated, great concept.

does this work in update 7?

Apparently basically all mods have broken with this latest update. How nice. And because steam is still a piece of shit, no mods will auto update. Which means I can't play for several weeks while I wait for everything to update so I can unsub and resub to all of it. :/

Ah good, there's an update, but Steam being a whopping piece of shit, won't download the update till I unsub and resub. How nice.

man the last update broke my flow control, thanks for the quick fix!!!

Phew fortunately this fix just involved a couple of name changes. a new version has been uploaded. Thank you for everyone patience and letting me know this was happening

crashes on vanilla timberborn :(

It happens in the normal game too.

I think the crash only happens in experimental. I don't think I'll be able to fix it for a week or two. :(

I only discovered this mod a day or two ago and already altered my map designs to make full use of it.

I so hope it can be fixed soon.

Can confirm this mod is currently broken as well as numerous other ones.

same problem here

Now the changes got moved to live, so the mod chrashes on both branches.

Yes Mod crashes with latest experimental, I changed back to current stable to continue my current playthough.

game crashes before i get to main screen. i went down my mods list. this and flywheel are the only 2 that crashed my game.

That must be a different cap from the waterfall limit.

Firstly, love this mod! It might be a simple change, but it is a must have.

Is 32cms the max value you can have? Or could you set it higher (64 or even 128)? I ask this because I'm playing on Thousand Islands, and I have piped every water source (54cms fresh water + 27cms bad water = 81cms) into a 1x1 tube and it's being capped at 32cms.

this breaks in U7, I'm working on a fix to make sure it works in both U6 and U7, hopefully I'll have it up today

however much can flow through a single channel without an edge can flow through an edge

unfortunately no, there isn't a way to customize the maximum flow. I keep getting hung on on UI changes.

since downloading this mod im getting 7 source blocks worth of flow through a .5 gap, unsure if this is intended or not but i literally just have it as a single floodgate infront of a dam with a scaffold in it

OH I can finally build a huge PMM without overflow!! yes!!! THANKS SO MUCH!

I can relate to the odd feeling of changing a single value in a file and getting praise for it. But as someone who has seen a lot of mods over the years (though not for this game), I can tell you that a whole lot of mods are like that.

wait so does it always flow at 32 cms?

I uploaded my code to github, you wanted to fill out an issue report I could take a look there: https://github.com/Aperion/timberborn-modding/issues

I just checked my version of vo.6.5.1-d70585b-xsw with only the Steam copy of FreeFlow as the running mod and it loaded. I also check the map edit that worked as well. I'm not sure the best way to help you out over steam but send me a message and I'll see what I can do.

Thanks KpCarnright, I'll double check this.

Recent patch has made this crash the game, just so you know <3

To the person who's comment I accidentally deleted, I'm sorry! You were asking about it not being a bug. which according to the devs it's intended behavior but not really a feature. " Limit on waterfalls (bottom elevation change) is intended to reduce undesired side-effect when water starts to oscillate with big amplitude over whole map. " I'm thinking it was to prevent RCE's tsunami.

Saved my colony, thank you very much

Honestly, imposter syndrome aside, still a good mod 😁

I appreciate the praise, but I think it's misplaced. It's so simple I feel like a fraud for posting it as a single mod. This mod literally changes a single value in the game. That said I think Timberborn is a great game with wonderful water physics and the waterfall limit was holding it back.

@Aperion, hope you keep up the work. It is really hard to create a mod that actually works, much less create an insanely good mod that works extremely well with almost no glitches.

guywithpups, This is my first time making a mod and I find the positive comments to be really encouraging.

This was a huge improvement for me, since it means elevation changes no longer dam up flows. Maybe there should be a max flow cap but 2.2 cms seemed way too low

oh i meant like within the additional pictures on the mod page that are bigger and easier to see. The thumbnail just made me thing this changed how the 'water overflow' mechanics work with what was shown.

if its about more fluid power then a side by side with water power generation then more people might hop on board?

The thumb nail does show a before and after the mod, but frankly if I need to explain that it's not a very good thumbnail :D

oh so this is almost like putting in 'gravity'? in that the higher it falls from the faster it can flow? or at least doesnt 'hinder' the flow by having that elevation change and therefore have stronger water flow rates due to elevation changes instead of it not mattering and ALWAYS being 2.2cms?

I think if you just add essentially that info to your description it might make more sense. Also if you give a few examples of WHY someone should care that'd help people too. Like example of power wheels with and without this and just slap some text in the screenshots "with FreeFlow" or "without freeflow"

Thanks for feedback, and a fair point. I'll see what I can do.

It's simple, but hard for me to describe in pictures. Without this mod when ever the water would flow over the edge of block to a lower elevation the game limited the flow rate to 2.2 cms per edge. This mod removes that flow rate restriction.

For example if you had a 1 block wide channel it could only flow at a rate of 2.2 cms no matter how tall you made the sides of the channel. The screen shot shows a 1 block wide channel move 32 cms instead of the previous max of 2.2.

perhaps a few extra pictures to illustrate what this mod does? At a glance, i don't quite understand sorry
