Is there a voxel that does well with water physics? I remember first time I played minecraft trying to drain a lake and being very dissatisfied with the results.
To be honest, water is one of these things that always frustrated me in Minecraft. Its mechanics don't make any sense, but changing them would probably be hated by most players, because they are used to them.
The issue with Minecraft is that once it forms something like a lake they all become water source blocks. Water no longer flows once it gets to be more than a single block deep.
I'm countering with this from my home country of Belgium
That's trippy
Time to recreate this in voxel games

It depends on what you mean. Luanti games and Minecraft all use water source blocks that generate water.

That's by design. If it was flowing it would pull you under and it would be incredibly difficult to make something like a swimming pool
Luanti has a mod that makes water more realistic.
That mod breaks voxel physics though. Water blocks are supposed to be fixed.
Neat mod but for me personally it isn't terribly useful
Ey, southern neighbour!
Welp, I ended up searching for it so here is a link. https://interestingengineering.com/culture/the-netherlands-unique-water-bridge
I thought it could have something to do with the levels of water but apparently it was cheaper than a bridge.
But it is a bridge
I'd say it's a tunnel. Bridges are built up, which is incompatible with the water flowing across.
It's a bridge for boats.
i too subscribe to Practical Engineering
Grady is the best!
So you're telling me you also watch Practical Engineering 👷♂️ ^^
If the bridge falls, how far does the flooding spread? Is the river going to be dammed by the gap?
Not critical, just curious how the engineers accounted for this.
You know what's better? It's not a river. It's more like an artificial lake created by cutting off the North Sea.
The road might flood for a half km around the breach where it descends to the tunnel depth tho
I believe it's what is known as a "tunnel."
It's not just a tunnel, it's a water bridge
The pioneers used to ride these babies for miles.
At what ratio of width to length does it become a water bridge instead of a tunnel?

Underrated joke
It's a bit underdeveloped.
My eyes think it's an AI optical illusion. That's cool
Aquaducts aren't new. Granted this is a novel design, but it's still just an aquaduct. https://waterways.org.uk/about-us/news/canal-aqueducts
Honestly I think this is better than lift bridges in every way.
Plenty of tunnels under the sea in Norway.
You drive under the runway at Schipol too
Also, Disney World.
It's called an aquaduct and was invented by the Romans. But yeah.
Isn't an aqueduct the other way round?
Like transporting water from a natural river, and not building a water bridge of an existing river over a road?
Honest question, because I only associated it with providing water for cities and not to provide boats with pathways.
yes it was, it only transported fresh water to towns
like a reverse sewer
Originally, yes. But these days, not exclusively
But yeah. Petty condescending comment, and you're not even right.
Confidently incorrect
Aquaduct
It's a tunnel. It's just shorter than most.
Oh shit yeah that’s the way to think of it.
I hear the ancient Egyptians invented Christmas
