Description
Adds a rock you place to mark a lake spot (with a button to raise/lower the level).
This will ignore the uneven terrain limitation.

This is a purely visual mod.

Known Issues:
Rovers and whatnot will ignore the lake and walk through it.

If you want a mod that fills a lake with rain, makes the lakes improve the "Water" param, and local soil then use Rain Lakes by tanyfilina.

ChoGGi, may be you can update/rework and this mod from @tanyfilina?

I would not mind it being updated by anybody, though."

You could probably delete them with the console mod if you can't remove them normally (stuff can be selected even if the selection thingy doesn't show up).

Yeah most games don't like mods being disabled and enabled. This one really doesn't like it for modded buildings (or lake buildings).

I can no longer select the lake control after disabling this mod for a while even after enabling it again. I can make new lakes with it enabled and control them but not the older ones.

The level is locked, you have to manually change it with the button.

can you add a button that lets you lock the water level and prevent rains from raising the lake above that level? It would be neat if it still allowed fluctuations under that level, such as if evaporation lowers the level and rains add to it back up to the locked level.

I suppose so, getting the level of the lake is easy enough, its volume that isn't.

I was wondering, would it be possible to have some sort of water collector to sit ontop of the ice and lake. Like a oil rig for water?

There's no real easy way to distinguish between water/not water area, pretty much the same reason why rovers ignore it. You could keep the water low and call it a swamp, or manage the foreststation plants nearby?
