disable tsunami

[TimFisher]

Is there a way to disable tsunamis? They're not fun. Other disasters are fun, but tsunami are just tedious. They destroy the entire city every single time. Calling an evacuation destroys the economy. The shelters don't work properly. You're basically starting over from the beginning with a new population. I'd rather have every other disaster all at once than to have to deal with a single tsunami.

Unfortunately, the vanilla game has only all or nothing options. There's the Ragnarok mod available for fine control, but I don't know whether it needs an update for the new DLC. You can always try it out.

I agree with the sentiment btw. In vanilla, on most sea maps, tsunamis just level the whole city with no way to prevent that.

Seriously these new Industry maps are just crap. I just got another Tsunami, hours after I turned off all disasters. I still have flooding from the previous tsunami. This really sucks.

Edit: I figured out a much easier way to deal with these. Do not build massive mountain ranges with dirt and terrain tools. It is very tedious and expensive to build and then remove these. Instead, use Fine Road Tool to build a dirt road surrounding the city, using Ground Mode and a Height of 60m (the max) and Straight Slope on. This will build a massive dike with a road on top. I build these dirt-road-dikes all around the city and I can remove them cheaply after the tsunami has passed.

You can also use Move It mod to raise the elevation of the road dike even higher than the max of 60m.

While I especially like the structures left behind by earthquakes - you can sometimes make chains of lakes out of them - losing a whole city is no fun, as that usually kills your finances, and that's it more or less. If you don't play with unlimited money, that is.

I checked the Ragnarok mod, and it still works. You can set each disaster chance separately and also set separate size limits. Also, as you use mods anyway, there's one that lets you remove the terrain editing costs.

meteor's my fave as you then have an opportunity to rework your road system
