Topic: Combination of diking and ports causes game crashes.

However, if there is a port on the coast, it will diking up the port and the game will then crash with the error message that no usable waters were found for the port. Can you solve the problem somehow in the code of the game? For example, the navigable waters near ports cannot be terraformed by diking. Thx.

They simply were never really intended to be combined. For the fri06 scenario I am working on making ship fleets respond appropriately to dikers terraforming near their paths, and I can also try to integrate a fix for this situation there. This will not be part of v1.2 though; and I would be reluctant to make a quickfix since will be a lot of related problems (e.g. port might become unreachable by being turned into a lagoon), so a fix is still some time away, sorry Top Quote
