Water Q in well

[oleanna]

Hi ,

I m a spruce cap, having nearly no experience with h&h , I m wondering how water Q work. If I build a well in a node with a really bad Q like 10 , and an other some tile away ( really close ) which is like 15. An other well between them will have a Q Linked like 13 or there is no heightmap and its totally random ?

Yep that's pretty much exactly how it works. Because of the cost of wells it's easier early game to just run around taking samples from lakes, rivers and springs than building new wells.

oh ! It's linked with river, so if i found a good spot in lake, river, ... I build a well close and I can Up with magic. Right ? But first, I need to check with a bucket ?

Yes, there is water everywhere, you just need a well to retrieve it. It's easier to find good ql water by collecting it from ground sources, but if you find say q30 water right next to shore, there could higher ql water on land, if you built a well there.
