::::::When I let the water in again, only the second one was powered, even when I interrupted the flow again. (As I the water flew out, it still turned at water level 1. That seems to be the minimum level indeed.){{verify}} So the generation of power seemed to depend on the underground you build them in, not on anything like flow. Then, to verify my theory that you need river-tiles around waterwheels to make them work, I built a fourth one upstream, which was surrounded by floor-tiles. This one, however, streched all across the river, and so divided it into a lower part (with the three waterwheels in it) and an upper part. In the lower part, no waterwheel worked anymore, as I built one of the second type in the upper part of the river, it worked again! | ::::::When I let the water in again, only the second one was powered, even when I interrupted the flow again.

− | + | Therefore, I suppose waterwheels must be surrounded (at least partially?){{verify}} by river-tiles, which additionally must not be disconnected from the source of the river. --[[User:Doub|Doub]] 12:25, 4 September 2008 (EDT) | |
