WHY

[sabinati]

Someone explain to me why they built the well right next to the river? Being noobs isn't enough of an explanation and anyone with common sense wouldn't do that. I would've understood if it was inside the walls, but... oh well(see what i did thar?).

Well you never know what q of water you will get out of the well. I have built wells all over place around me as well to "detect" maximum possible quality I can get. And well can have different quality water than river even if standing 1 tile away from it.

maybe 1q difference

Last I checked well Q is in relation to the water system near it, if there IS a difference it'd only be by a few points... I believe it'd be nearly impossible to get a q 90 well beside a q10 lake lol

This is true.

The only difference in the quality is water quality from wells is always at it's peak, so if someone drained lets say a Q90 node down to Q10 right beside this well, the well would give Q90 while the river would give Q10, even though they're under the same node.

Wells definitely drop with water node q
