Maybe we could drain lakes like we can drain oil reserves? I guess lakes will provide more water than oil field but, we're here do deal ecology damage, and you can't really drain oceans of water from that small pond right?

Maybe this is adding too much stuff to worry, with water as renewable source. Since you can't plant trees yet, i think this water idea should be considered if developers plan to add growing forests, so you drain water from all lakes around and you'll have problem growing things. For now, i think it's just a minor thing.

Don't mind me, i just throw in ideas when they come up to me

This was already discussed.

and follow links etc.

More topics to read. How do you know all this?

Cause I'm the moderator and you are a newby.



No, no! I try to search for it! You have this wonderfull search function and if you know how, you can reveal all the hidden gems.

I tried searching, it didn't work. Now i found search by topic, and i see even more topics than you. Ha Now i'm search masta.
I didn't saw that option in the first place.

Well in the end we all want to abuse and pollute water.

I did search for this too, and I found that the discussion was a bit fragmented. One of the threads was actually filled with like a dozen comments.

Anyhow, definitely want this feature. Some little lake should be drained up real fast by a large boiler system.

To make it clear for the youngsters:

If I just put links into a thread, it's nothing than informational overload. Just a hint or something interesting. Nothing which should stop discussing.

If I write like so, it's me as moderator speaking and I DO something: I move the posts or telling to stop or something in that direction.
