No more buckets! The Irrigation System and you!

[ImAwesome]

isn't this what wells are for? i think they should allow you to use a barrel on a well to fill it instead of having to use a bucket. i mean the well has a bucket in it why do i need to carry one to fill a barrel?

The bucket that the well has is attached to the well... You lower it into the well to get water and then you fill your bucket from that bucket.

Are you suggesting it be possible to simply lower an entire barrel all the way down a well and have it fill up with water?

no lower the bucket and the tip it over into the barrel. if the rope its attached to is long enough to go down in the well why not long enough to pour over the side of the well into the barrel? pick up barrel right click bucket and it auto fills the barrel,you see about 10 animations for the well being used and it adds 10l to the barrel each time and doesn't stop until barrel is full or you move away. It beats making 10 trips to and from barrel and well.

and filling from a river would be even easier...dunk barrel

Jorbtar: Make it so.

Things would have to be build able on it and passable on/under the aqueducts/canals to prevent hearth-vaultage and griefing with these.

Have it be stomp to dirt-able.

Spring Cistern

Large fixed structure that can only be built over watersource tiles (like wells). The cistern's reservoir automatically fills itself from the water source over time to a maximum amount (say 1000 L or something). When the reservoir has water in it, water can be drawn from it like rivers/lakes without the delay. Perhaps even add it so a lifted water container like barrels can receive water from this structure.
