I personally was working on plans to build waterlight features but i guess those plans have to be trashed
it was a neat feature that came about due to the players and now its gone. removing fun stuff doesnāt add to the fun i believe. a happy medium could be the halfway point of transparency between current and pre-update. the transparency ruins so many but it seems the most who like it
9 (the water update) donāt necessarily use the feature of the old water being opaque.
edit: i voted for āmake water less transparentā

I canāt tell if Iām in the minority or the majority of liking how it looks now 
Kind of like with the lighting changes people on both sides(that time I was on the minority, well still am as I still prefer the old lighting)
if you base it off of the poll only, you would be in the āmajorityā but i doubt everyone who is active is voting anyway. maybe like 50% at minimum?
The new water looks good in some cases, and bad in most builds.

Unfortunate but also ever since I started tons of people have been asking for water to be more and more transparent.
I think what they mean is this:
I hadnāt gotten around to building any of these glowing water spires yet so just putting this up quick Iām assuming the amount of white is washing out any color effect on these short towers.
In the pic that luca posted it looks like the gleam is tucked away in the tops or the center column of a much more substantial structure.
@lucadeltodecso if thatās on live would you mind sharing the location?

Its a shame the water has been changed.I cannot understand why this was changed ? The water looked really pretty with the rainbow effect which i was starting to make recently.The devs have ruined one of the best visual affects.Anyway sorry to see your water features ruined.Shame ,they would of looked stunning before update.Im always aware that they lov to change things ,so i dont get too annoyed because its the way this game iis made.Lets hope it gets changed back.
I might be wrong, but I guess this change is tied to the changes related to how the game-engine treats transparency, for glass blocks and stuff.
The water located at ocean-level looks pretty sweet, though, because it has a reflection-map.
Gotta say, as much as I love how the ocean-level water looks now, I donāt like how the water in my canals now look. :ā(

We can do that with lighting???
I love it actually. Itās a huge improvement except for the people who made use of the opaquenessā¦

Just to make things clearer, Are you saying there was a change in the water transparency after the last update or was it when they changed water transparency on the farming update ?
I do really like the new transparency of water, but for others that need it more opaque maybe there could be a beacon setting or something for opacity
When I walked into my glass/water area (water resting on top of glass panes), I was blown away at how clear it was

After last update water transparency .To make it clear i am not unhappy with this game im just saying water looked better before last update.But this is not a big deal to me as its just a game.But i commented because i happen 2 agree with the title.āMy water features now look bad.ā Everyone will not always view things in the same way.Great game though.I enjoy playing it

My fountain designs now suffer under the new water transparency as well. I havenāt decided how to adjust it. I had made use of the āglowā effect with raw gleam to hide a door in a fountain but now its not hidden at all.
Iām sad more than anything, Iām sure I can achieve something similar to what I had, just going to take a lot of design work but I donāt think the planet Iām on will work regardless (iām on Delta Cancret which has one of the most color less waters iāve found in the game being a light gray color).

Yeah in my newest area I made a stream itās about 45 plots long and itās small because thereās not a lot of space (width) there. I repurposed this build so where i cut in to putt he stream itās got a metal bottom and some green light and IMO looks not right.
My shop Iām sort of giving up on but Iām trying to decide what to do here, maybe a blue gleam bottom or something to help give the water some of its color back and add some sense of depth.
Maybe some dirt and grass or something at the bottom of it but I feel like that will create a swampy look which is not what Iām after at all.
