Twice now the game has given me an Arithmetic Overflow error

Once when trying it build a hydro dam - accepting/ cancelling end position multiple times to get perfect line-up, suddenly resulted in error (can’t cancel/ close pop-up window, have to close game)

Also once just a minute ago building a cable car cable (I pressed up a few times to get max build height, and it suddenly overflowed me and I had to close game)

Thanks

Too much water behind the dam will make it overflow

Reactions:
It would likely be the game trying to figure out something with an infinite number, recurring number or something like that.
Similar errors appear in CAD software when doing something that results in an infinite number, like an arc and a straight line meeting. I've attached an image of this.
There are other connections and geometry which is just really tricky for most programs to figure out. It comes down to the equations the program is using to try and solve the geometry. Likely cause is something with the Dam's is bugged and the game is having trouble creating the geometry in accordance with the points you set given the terrain it is having to work with. Try getting the terrain a bit simpler around the dam area. This might make it easier for the game to generate the geometry.

That makes sense

Tbh the dam and cable car lines are both built at this point

Only errored once each then after reload it built with no problems

Still something for the devs to look into, maybe a numeric box somewhere isn’t capping at the max integer and it’s overflowing that way, not sure
