HOW TO BUILD A WELL
common problems:
- highest point may still not be high enough: see 3.
- both the tile to be place it on and the one under the handle need to be buildable: see 4.
1) the dowsing rod points to higher areas of the water table.
2) wait for a dowsing, walk a few steps in the direction it's pointing, then wait for another dowsing.
3) when you find the highest point, it will say "The water table won't rise any further from here." this is what you're looking for. HOWEVER: it doesn't always mean that you can build a well there, the water may still be too low despite being the highest point in the area.
4) try to place a well to be sure. you can't build on forest terrain, the easiest way to turn it to buildable terrain is just to dig one soil, then place it back, which will turn a 2x2 area around itself into dirt. NOTE: you need at least 1x2 buildable area to place a well, the tile where you place it AND the tile under the handle.
5) if the water table is not sufficiently high, it will say "The water runs too deep." and you will need to find another spot. move away from your spot (10-20 tiles) until you get dowse readings from another spot and start over.
it requires a bit of effort, but once you understand how it works i guarantee you will find a suitable spot.
