How are we liking this? Reviews on Steam are extremely good. Looks like a good way to lose a weekend or two.

i’ve been playing it for years. it’s a brilliant little city builder with some interesting twists. i originally bought it because i saw that it had stackable buildings, which i’ve never seen in another city builder, but the addition of water management using physical bodies of water was what sealed the deal. redirecting rivers to generate energy and setting up conditional dams depending on the season is very satisfying. i do wish the seasons mechanic went a little deeper (there are only three) but what’s there is definitely plenty challenging and i think there are mods that add more seasons.

also, in a complete surprise to basically everyone, the 1.0 update added a way to tie things like water or stockpile levels to automation triggers. haven’t gotten into the release version yet but i for one am very excited.
