Damn Dam Degradation [ModContest1]

Damn Dam Degradation IMPORTANT This Mod requires Mod Settings by eMka to function. Your dams are no longer eternal. In vanilla Timberborn, you build a wall of wood and stone, and it holds back millions of gallons of rushing water forever without a single splinter cracking. Not anymore. Damn Dam Degradation introduces realistic hydro-stress to your colony. Water is heavy, and the deeper your reservoirs, the more immense the pressure pushing against your walls. Your engineering feats just became an ongoing logistical battle. The Scale of Danger: Small ponds stay stable for years. Massive reservoirs become ticking time bombs. The Warning Signs: Ignore maintenance long enough and your dams will turn red, post a global map alert, and begin to visibly leak. The Collapse: If a block hits 0 HP, it is instantly deleted. The sudden rush of water triggers a structural failure, dealing massive cascade damage to adjacent blocks and causing anything stacked on top of it to collapse into the torrent. Beaver Engineering to the Rescue Your District Builder Hubs handle maintenance automatically. When a structure drops below 80% health, it enters a global repair queue. Free builders will drop standard blueprints to sprint over, play custom construction animations, and hammer your infrastructure back into shape. The cost isn't materials—it's precious labor time. Keeping a mega-dam stable means dedicating a permanent workforce just to keep the leaks plugged. ⚠ Warning ⚠ If your entire settlement depends on one giant dam… maybe build a backup spillway. Technical Details & Options Real Hydraulic Flow (Default): When a dam enters a critical state, water physically forces its way through the structure, draining your upstream reservoir and flooding your colony downstream. Visual Spray Mode: Don't want the hydraulic chaos? Toggle this on in the settings to replace real water flow with a clean, cinematic water-spray particle effect while keeping the dam a full obstacle. The Support Rule: Build
