Floodgates
''
Floodgates are landscaping buildings that block the flow of Fluids up to an adjustable height. By being height-adjustable, floodgates offer more control over water than dams do, but that extra ability comes with an added build cost. All versions of floodgates require planks in addition to logs to be built.
There are three versions of floodgates. Each version has a different range of adjustment for blocking water. Shorter floodgates will have a smaller range of adjustment possibility, while taller floodgates will have a larger range of adjustment possibility. Which floodgate you want to build depends upon the situation you are in at the time.
The top tile of each floodgate is occupied by the mechanism that raises and lowers the floodgate. To calculate the total depth of water that a given floodgate type will retain just subtract (1) from its height. This mechanism blocks any opportunity for pathing on top of floodgates.
Adjustment
Floodgates can be adjusted in increments of 0.05 units, starting from 0 and up to their respective height.
