Need A Working Water Well
I'm working my way through the quests, and have run into a problem. The quest involves mixing up a batch of lime. However, one of the ingredients is water. Can anyone point me to a WORKING water well for version 7? I've D/L'd several, none of which work.

Short of that, is there another way to check off this quest other than abandoning it?

You might wanna describe which mods you have related. There are a few types of water mods out there by different modders

I don't understand what you mean by describe which mods you have related. Do you mean which water wells have I tried? I've tried D2D3D's Water Well V2. He said it doesn't work. The others are not compatible with 0.7.

Just follow what the mod shows: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1712989992

All you need is a catch block with a crank and rope drum attached to a hook with an empty bucket placed in it.

Hi, Ricebug

there is no water in this game and why wolfgar7474 is asking about what Mod do you use that adds water ?

Been a long time since I played but I remember all was easy to read on screen, the quest show in top left corner and tells us exactly what to do.

Because he's asking about how to use the Waterworks mod. It's compatible with Water in Medieval Engineers, so there's not really a compatibility issue.

Ok, so he is playing with Mods and just have to read the item description, if I understand correctly.
Ricebug 2 10 May, 2022 @ 10:20pm 
Thanks, Johnbeere. I grabbed that blueprint. I have the WaterWorks mod, which I used on Dan2D3D's well. I could not get that one to work. Perhaps I'll have better luck with this other one.

I don't understand why there's a quest involving the use of a water well when the game has no well in their quest journal. Oh, well. (No pun intended.)

I rarely play with Mods, well I've used a lot but not anymore and never tried that one.

I just watched the video and noticed we have to build one or use the Bp in the description.

I would create a testing world with that Mod only, to see if it can be bugged in only one specific save.

The quest is part of the Waterworks mod - the mod definitely works fine. If all else fails, just place a hook within the clay layer and put the bucket on it. The way the mod works, it will fill up.

Hi Dan, regardless if I play anymore, I still support my mods.
This topic was in workshop topic and it was related to water and lime so the assumption it was a mod.
There are a few mods out there with this type of ingredients including my mods.
I was trying to see if it could of been one of mine or one i contributed to since you were wondering.

@wolfgar7474

I know and thanks for specifying.

It's just that he asked me, on my Workshop item, about why my water well Blueprint was not working ...

Edit
Sorry for the @360Km/h ??? = copy/paste bugged and replaced for "@wolfgar7474"

I'm sure that Dan2D3D's workshop item works fine. It's just that I've never been much of a tech weenie. At 70, things are not as clear as they once were. I rely a lot on the Steam community and a handful of YT creators for help.

I know that this is an old thread, but just in case anyone is having the same issue....

It took me forever to figure this out, and it's sooooo simple.

The Waterworks mod designates the clay layer as containing "ground water". You can't see it, but it's there. Build a well, either from scratch or drop a nice blueprint down. Make sure there is a working rope drum above the well. Grab a hook and a rope. Attach the rope to the hook and then to the drum. Drop the hook into the well. Use the handcrank to bring the hook up to the top and put an empty bucket into the "tool slot" of the hook. Lower the bucket until it reaches the clay layer. VOILA! You have a bucket of water!

I actually made a very simple cistern in the kitchen of my inn (which is actually AT the clay layer because the inn is built into a hillside). Because I was already IN the clay layer as soon as I put the bucket into the toolslot, before I even lowered the bucket, it filled immediately.

I hope this saves everyone the hours of frustration I suffered (I know, so dramatic!) trying to figure this out.

No worries, fellow engineer. It's an unnatural way to create a well, having grown up on a farm. We had a hand-dug septic tank, along with a well. Thankfully, the creators skipped the need for a sewage system.
Hardened_Mass 25 Mar, 2024 @ 5:43pm 
It works though. And I think there's a mod coming for the sewer thing.... I actually asked @Wilfirth about making a modular sewer set a weeks or so ago. :steammocking: I don't expect him to actually do it, but it would be cool if someone did.
