High quality well

[VladTheImpaler]

What factors go into finding a well with high quality water? Is it just random?

[mweis92]

Depends on the water node, I have a water node which it's highest point I can access is right by the shore, meaning the actual center of the node is on land. I don't think it's possible for random nodes to spawn on solid land.

Too find a high quality well you have too find a high q water node in a river lake etc, then you build a well on the land near that high q water spot and it will be either higher or lower q then the water in the river or lake for instance i found a q 33 water spot in a river and then i built a well about 20 tiles away and got q 41 water so the higher q water can be in a well, if your looking for a high q inland well though then i dont know how the q of that is effected.. sorry

You can only check the Q by building a well, so you'd have to build a well and then test it.

You can find Q water in the middle of Land.

Its much harder as you dotn have bodies of water (lake / river) to test water from.

I have a q22 Water Well in the middle of a mudflat in the middle of a forest. So Finding Q water inland isnt uncommon, just need to build ALOT fo wells to test.

as far as i know, the q of a well isnt influenced by the q of the items used to build it, just like water in a river isnt limeted by the container you use to get it. eg, a q10 bucket will get for example q45 water, but a q35 bucket would still get q 45 water

There are quality layers. The land you walk on has a specific water quality, even though you can get water from it, it has a quality. The highest quality water in the map could be in the middle of a forest with no buildable well. The highest quality soil could be in the middle of a lake.

[Garath]

he WAS talking about buildable wells, can someone also sometimes please touch on this?

The point is people were under the impression that you could only find them near water earlier in the thread, he was setting it straight, I didn't bother, but to be exact, the way it seems to work (perhaps loftar can correct if wrong, but I'm pretty sure considering how clay->Mudflats happened)

When the map is made, quality spots are put down, the quality spots can be ANYWHERE (Soil 200+ in the middle of a localmap-large lake (you don't even EVER know there is soil there), fishing spots in the middle of a continent... there could be any of it, anywhere. So yes you can end up with HQ water inland, you can end up with it anywhere, whether or not you can access it is the big deal.

I was under the impression (though I don't know how I got there) that quality of soil/clay/water was capped at 100

It would be super awesome if you could go dip your kuksa in the well spot when dowsing though!
