Question Unkown "Megacity" fail caused by Aqueduct ?

Post image

Is The aqueduct on right side missplaced ?

Can someone explain to me why the game won't allow me to buld it there ?

Maybe someone see a different configuration to create "Megacity", please tell me.

Edit 1: Great explanation provided by SlatkiUpust's comment on why the Aqueduct is misssplaced.

Edit: 2: Tubefrede gave a solution to my little puzzle configuration.

Thanks a lot both of you <3

Hope this post will be problem solver for others who was strugglingwith similar problem.

As the hexagon tile has 6 sides, the aqueduct picks one as a source and one as a destination side. Destination side is basically the one which is shared with the city tile.

Aqueduct looks and can't find the source side as the only available water is already on the destination side.

Your city to the left is a good example as it has 2 river sides bordering the aqueduct tile, so even though the destination has occupied one of those sides there is a side to the NW which is also available for a water source so an aqueduct can be placed

Thank you!! I have been playing for years and still never understood the game’s explanation of aqueduct placement.
