Dowsing Rod

[reddie9408]

I've come up with an idea for an upgraded dowsing rod. Crafting it would require additionally bronze bar (or nugget?) and it would allow detecting quality of water. Detection still capped by survival.

Also I haven't been able to explore underground really that much, so I have no idea about these matters, but shouldn't quality of basic resources, like water or clay, be higher as well? Multiplied by some amount per level of mine? It doesn't have to be much. Patches of sand or dirt could be useful. Making wells underground would be a nice possibility too.

Another nice addition could possibly be another dowsing rod solely for prospecting. As for ingredients it should require something more rare. Perhaps precious metal would be fitting.

Sounds interesting. The tool has been sitting idle since discovering a couple of locations around the base where a well could be built more affordably. Everyone mostly uses the "public" well. Being able to determine water quality would make the water search mechanic more useful, more wells would be built, and good water would be another factor in determining where to build a base.
