If i were to make a map with a big valley with a river flowing through it will we be able to make a massive dam like Hoover dam and have a massive lake behind and generate loads of power

I could see that when they placed the dam, there was a road on top of it. That might mean that the bigger the road on top, the bigger the dam, but I'm not sure.
I think the WIDTH of dam doesn't matter, what matters is the LENGTH . The Longer the dam is , more power it generates
(I could be wrong)

It sounds reasonable. The wider it is, the more space for turbines and generators. Would be a fun test!
Good question..
Maybe the amount of power generation is just standard across the board regardless of size?
Regardless, I'm fairly sure that where there's a river, you can make a dam. So your hoover dam experiment should work. *sweet*

I assume you would be able to make really big dams, and not just the 5 meter tall dam walls they've shown us thus far. I can't see any technical reason why the height of the dam wall should be prohibitive, but it would be nice if TotalMoo could post us a screen shot, just to put our minds at ease. >wink< >wink< >nudge< >nudge<
hells yeah.. I just want more screenshots.. take a close up of a pig I don't even care!
massive dam like Hoover dam? LOL The Hoover is a little thing compared to the dams here in switzerland -.-
I really was confused while I was there...
To your question. In the videos you can see that you can build only one type (and size) so far. Maybe there coming more
The stream says somewhere what affect the energy produced.
In term of size, I'm pretty sure it depends on the height of the starte, thus in a canyon you could make a dam crossing the canyon and creating a big lake behind.

I hope so in rl its the hight difference betwen the sides of the damn and the amount of water that produces the power
Maybee they used this formel P= Q*h*g*P*n

So, TotalMoo? How about that dam wall screen shot?
There is at least one that I'm releasing soonish.
To answer OP's question - yeah pretty much. More water flow against the dam = generate more power.
We are sharks in a feeding frenzy and we need Moo to put more Chum "Screenshots" into the water. Hurry! We're starving!
I love this! For every minor problem that turns me off a bit towards the game there is another minor bonus that makes me hyped again.
