I really do not understand how this is not possible. As far as I read from the dev you can delete water with F5 option 4 area select. But that can only fill the area with stone or delete the area of terrain AND (not OR) water. Where is the area delete that does water only? The other problem is area is limited in size and my build is bigger than this - so I started sectioning it off with dams before I figured out area option replaces/deletes all terrain along with the water. Spent a lot of time editing this terrain I do not want to do this all over again.
I have completely screwed up my castle/moat/dungeon build thinking I had no leaks when I took down the dam.
I only save general backups once a week, and I do not see any startup backups in the game dir (as I am used to with Ark). So if I cannot fix this I am done with the game until it can be fixed. I need a delete water only in a larger area I can use with an ocean dam - but even then I am not going to take down the dam until blocks stopping water is implemented. This is ocean water that flowed in, it is not static water blocks that I placed.
Downloading Enshrouded which has been wishlisted for a while - it just did a water update and it has full controller support. Yes it only has one block shape but I will see how much I can do with it, it seems their blocks have lots of 3D detail to them. Not a fan of action combat so I hope they have a good controls to turn that off while I build.
