Floodgates
Floodgates are 
Landscaping structures that block the flow of 
Fluids up to an adjustable height. By being height-adjustable, they offer more control over water than 
Dams. That extra ability comes with additional build costs. All versions of Floodgates require 
Planks in addition to 
logs.
There are three sizes of Floodgates. They can be adjusted in increments of 0.05 units, from 0 up to their height. The appropriate size depends on the situation.
The top block of Floodgates is the mechanism that raises and lowers the gate. This mechanism prevents 
pathing on top of Floodgates.
Construction
Place Floodgates in the way of flowing fluids to manually control their flow. These are often used for early game means of diverting Badtides. Once the colony has 
Metal Blocks, 
Sluices can do a similar job, but automatically.
Usage
By default, Floodgates have their Synchronize with adjacent floodgates on. You adjust one of the Floodgates and its neighbors copy that setting. The slider controls the height of the floodgate. At height 0, Floodgates are wide open for maximum flow.
