      That thread is pretty much outdated now. Atavera has figured out a way to use the hidden features in caw, one of which is a pond tool that creates a water plane anywhere you want on the map. Don't be intimidated by the tutorial, just do it step by step, and you'll have Super Caw up and running. :mrgreen:

      I thought the pool tool in the Super CAW was defunct because EA said it caused problems. They don't use it.
      Notably, the 'Pond Tool' is apparently abandoned and not used by EA, due to 'known problems internally'

      :lol: I only added that bit a few days ago, Lynds. It's just a reminder that worlds made using the pond tool will need to be tested.

      I've tested worlds of my own made with the water plane tools for many sim generations, so I know that they work, but have not tested the pond tool much.
      I will choose a path that's clear- I will choose free will

      Unfortunally if i wait too long to make a world EA updates the CAW and i have to use the New version.

      What you said is very true, it's a rather long tutorial to update after each patch, I was thinking of updating to the super caw, but there is very little in the update I can't do the old way. But knowing what I'm like curiosity will probable get the better of me and when I get a few spare hours I will update caw, just to see what them shiny new buttons do.

      Well, EA used it quite a lot in Lunar Lakes.

      Not the same way.
