Water (terraforming)

A planet that has a moderate amount of water present on it.

Water is a terraforming mechanic. As the temperature of the planet rises, water will begin to appear on the planet in the form of both large bodies likes lakes and oceans, and rivers splitting from these bodies or running on their own.

Wet ground

The area surrounding water has water in the soil. This is necessary for forests to grow, and for  Pumping Stations to produce  Water. Wet ground does not start to appear until the average temperature has been raised to about -20°.

Flooding

As water spreads across the planet, it can flood buildings and cities. Flooded buildings will stop working and must be demolished and relocated. Flooded city tiles will be abandoned, reducing city population. Flooding can be avoided or mitigated with the use of  Dam Elements.
