Water and it's many fun water stuff

Post by RangerRyan »

Hello. I know I haven't played that long, so I input is lower than others, but I have read the Wiki and the Forums, so I hope my ideas are accepted.

Note: All/most of the items/structures would require Stoneworking, etc.

Aquifer - Can be built on a Well spot. This would look like a Stone Silo sort of thing. It would be akin to a palisade, as the "Initial" aquifer (On the Well spot) would cost more than subsequent "Storage Vessels". This means that you could make a city/town anywhere and, with the correct materials, get water. The water QL would work just as if you had built an actual well there. Resources: 100 Stone, 5 Bone Glue, 10 Leather (Resources are negotiable, of course)

Aqueduct - This would be the "Extend [insert direction]" part of the Aquifer (See above). It would cost 10 stone per section, so as to make it take teamwork/dedication to build. I also propose that this be able to go over Ridges, Marshes, Moor, etc for an additional 10 stone per tile.

Storage Vessel - Possibly the "Cornerpost" version of water styles. This would be built, then allow to turn in any direction. This would have to be built on a flat service (No marshes, ridges, etc). Would cost 30 Stone and 2 Bone Glue.

Fountain - This one be the "Gate" variant of the Aquifer/Aqueduct extension. You would be able to gather water from here, as akin to a well. This would probably cost 2 of any Uncommon Metal (Gold, Silver, Steel, etc), 5 rope, and 50 stone, almost identical to a normal well, with exception of needing a bucket and adding metal (Can't be a major city without something shiny, am I right :P)

Canal - You would need to equip a Shovel (Can't go digging an artificial river with a Stone Ax, now can you?). This would need another action, probably under the "Build -> Structure -> etc". It would take 20Str (Can't be too hard to get, if you are in a village) for a tile, and every tile you "Mine" would give you a base of 50LP (50*360%=180LP at full LP boost).

That is all I have thought of so far, so please comment and reply. I also do not appreciate flame comments, "Use the search you idiot,trololololol" comments, or anything associated with them, but it is inevitable. Please leave constructive and INTELLIGENT comment below/in replies. Thank you :)

slightly pointless i suppose as most people dont mind walking to a well.
but i like it, it would make the place look more advanced or whatever.
and canals have been suggested manytimes, but still a good idea.
say having them flow from a lake into your city, but that would requre something to stop people swimming in and bridges so you dont cut off people on one side

And you'd have to make it so you could walk under it

I vote for fountain. It's way too slow to get water from well, so why not build a fountain instead?

I wanted aqueducts since forever. BTW, aquifer is not what you think it is. Not that having real aquifers would be bad, they'd make mining more !!fun!!.

If canals had no requirements other than 20 str and a shovel, and gave 180 LP a tile, this'd be waterworld in a day.
