[B42] Ogrim Mod's - My Own Well

Description
Surviving the apocalypse just got a little more hydrating.

My Own Well lets you build your own functional well — no more relying on pre-placed ones! With a deep crafting system, skill-based progression, and realistic mechanics, this mod brings a new layer of survival immersion to your world.

🔨 Build Requirements

You'll need more than just a hammer — only true survivors can construct a well!
To craft your own, you'll need:

Skill Requirements:

Woodwork: 6
Masonry: 8
Metal Welding: 4
Blacksmith: 2

Materials Needed:

Hammer → May Degrade Light
Pick Axe → May Degrade Heavy
Shovel → May Degrade Heavy
Sharp Knife → Not Dull and May Degrade Light
Welding Mask
10 × Blow Torch
8 × Log
16 × Plank
64 × Nails
32 × Stone Block
4 × any of: Iron Bar, Iron Bar Half, Steel Bar Half or Steel Bar
1 × Bucket
2 × any of: Sheet Rope or Rope

💦 New Water System Features

- See how much water is left in each well.
- Wells collect 15% of rainwater automatically.
- Every in-game hour, wells refill with 25–75L of water (configurable).
- Water gets split between nearby wells within 20 tiles to avoid construction abuse.

By default, between 25 and 75 liters per hour can fill a 10,000 liter well in 7 to 10 days.

🚧 Smart Restrictions

You can’t build wells underground or on rooftops. Designed to be realistic and balanced for long-term survival. But you can enable build underground in sandbox settings.

Whether you’re building a forest base, running a self-sustaining farm, or just tired of boiling toilet water — My Own Well is your new best friend.

Had you done this a few years ago my Wells Construction mod would not exist 🤣 I did that one as a weekend project because I wanted that functionality in a server I had with my friends, then it became way more popular than I had expected.
I was going to overhaul it for B42 with the new crafting system, but it seems like your mod does just that and it does it very well, nice work. I might be deprecating my mod unless I get very creative haha.

@ogrimdooh people always want to make the game easier, i like your mod because, like mines, they are realistic.

@Knives: It's to be late game structure. But I´m looking to add the values to sandbox. Or at least a easy variation.

blacksmithing AND welding is kinda crazy

This mod is amazing, but it make the game crash after the last game update, please update it soon!

Sure.
For more context, Zomboid will load with the mod enabled, but my 42.11 game won't, it hangs straight after clicking 'load', before it starts the backup and conversion process.
I removed mods a couple at a time until the save would load
