Dowsing broken confirmed

[Apillion]

Unless if it was intended for dowsing rod to point you in the wrong direction this is broken.

After spam building a well one tile in front of me i found a spot where i can build a well and planted some flags with the survey land tool.



Then tested the dowsing rod a bit away from the flags.



I thought maybe on the other side.



or maybe if go closer. first i thought that green spot in front of me is a indication
but sadly its just the slope of the surface.



Alas even if i get it to fall on the spot there is no indication of water here.




Hope i help to fix something

yesterday i reached a spot with 2 tiles where, when standing on 1 tile, the wand would always point me to the other one. I didn't try building a well though

Nice.. I've just wasted 30 minutes of my game-time for nothing..

Anyone knows if/when they are gonna fix this?

[Siggy67]

I've had the same problems and the directions given by the rod seem totally random

Considering how well dowsing works in real life, I'd say it's extremely effective.

I was able to find a well with some guesswork, so I assumed it was just intentionally inaccurate. But, I was wrong about party arrows, too.

Ok heres how i did it ..

i spamed tile one by one for hours till i found it ... good luck

Edit:
ok sorry that wasn't very helpful...

try to look at the terrain that you think a well will be not just anywhere that seemed to narrow it down for me like darker gras tend to be better spots to try.

if you still don't get it i'm willing to come to your place (depending on how far you are )and help you i have become fairly good at finding wells .. been providing my well searching services to all my Neighbours

I'll look at this.
