    You’re thinking of beaver bots which have been in the game for a while. This is adding QoL features that were originally mod-only.

    Using sensors, counters, timers, and relay logic, you can automate operations of your buildings, choose where the water flows as conditions change, customize the power grid’s behavior, decide when some parts of the city open, and much, much more.

      The removed sluices and replaced them with valves, which give better flow control but no longer have any internal sensors. This shakes up the meta a lot, especially if you are utilizing underground pipes.

      (Existing sluices remain on maps that already have them, and they’re still available in dev mode)
