Wells Construction

Description
Information:
This mod allows you to build wells!
Wells have been around since the times of the roman empire. I figured an experienced survivor would be able to build a well for long term water storage.

How it works:
  • First you need to find and read the magazine "Before the Pipelines".
  • Once you have the knowledge, you need a hammer and a shovel.
  • If you have the tools in your inventory, a new option will appear in the world context menu (right-click on the ground).
  • Place your cursor in the "Build well" option and you will see the skills and materials you need.
  • You can only place wells in the dirt or grass, and away from the sewage system. This means you cannot place them on roads, trailer parks and towns/cities.

Have fun suiting your long term bases with these!

Note: If you find an error in the translation, please let me know and I'll fix it ASAP.

@John Halo I was not aware of that one, it's quite good.
I was going to overhaul this mod to use the new crafting system (Masonry, Blacksmith, etc.) and release the update when B42 was officially released, but it seems that mod already does just that and it does it quite well (ha).
I'll keep this mod just like this for the people that are still on B41, but unless I get very creative I'll mark it as deprecated once B42 is officially out.
All in all this mod was a weekend project of mine because I wanted this functionality in a server I had with my friends, then it became way more popular than I anticipated (thank you all for your votes and awards, I really appreciate you guys).

There is already a B42 well construction mod and it seems pretty well balanced. Less RNG dependent on finding a magazine too. https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3549290115&searchtext=well

just wait for build 42 to go stable then every mod maker will probably make all the mods we need for it

spent the last 4 hours trying to make a Buildable Well mod for build 42
after finally tracking down the code that actually fills the well...
all it is is a rain collector that creates fresh water rather than tainted water, has a high capacity, and is the SLOWEST accumulator of water from said rain of all the other options.
Barrel rain ratio is .25, box is .4 and the well is 0.1

what do you need to build this exactly?

it should require the use of stones and mortar to build, available items in game.. a lot of stones

@Blitz-N-Chipz And I've been doing it myself locally since B42 dropped and the changes needed were figured out. You're right, it takes only 10-15 minutes to do for most mods. But rather then whine and moan at a mod maker to do it, I just do it myself for the mods I want. So, that's my advice. If it's so important to you (not you specifically, the general you, referring to anyone whining and moaning), then do it yourself. But rememeber, while the initial fix is quick and easy, that doesn't included any testing or balance changes that might need to be done.

considering 90% of mods only need like 15-30 mins in file explorer and notepad++ to work on B42 its a pretty reasonable ask

i find the build 42 players so funny, they are like "make for 42" and pout when a mod gets discontinued lol
like they do this as a hobby not a job obviously dont pressure them
obviously not all the 42 players are like this so thumbs up to those
