g 0.18?

Would be nice to have this in 0.18 as well ;-)

Just change the version in info.json and add icon_mipmaps after icon_size:

    icon_size = 32,
    icon_mipmaps = 1,

two times in prototypes/waterfill.lua and it should work. An official update would be nice, though. :-D

Prymal did that here.

Good to know, thanks for pointing that out! I've already fixed this mod locally, though, so I'll remain on that for now. :-)

This is an essential mod in the exploration of the "water" concept, together with Cargo Ships. I hope the modder will continue to update this mod for newer versions.

I don't know much about factorio mods, so it's really a bare-bones workaround but I got it working for 0.18 with the new offshore pumps. You can place waterfill, but there's no visual indicator at the cursor. Ignore this after Canal Builder is updated past 0.17.6

Agreed, an official update to 0.18 would be nice. Thanks for all the hard work!

Hey, hope v0.18 will come around. Thank you for the mod and your work on it! :)
Wish you strength and health ^_^
(Btw, I can help with a russian locale, if needed)

I've managed to get this working for 1.1.x, removed the collision_mask, graphics_set and water_reflection: https://www.dropbox.com/s/e2tw0xjhhta36xr/CanalBuilder_1.1.0.zip?dl=1

EDIT: finally got around to releasing it as a proper mod: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/CanalBuilderWLK
