Description

A well is a stone container that holds up to 125 kg of liquid. When placed above an underground water source found with divining, it will automatically refill itself with water.

Creation

  • The quality of the stone brick affects the success chance when creating.
  • The quality of the clay affects the initial quality of the well.
  • No matter the size of the first clay, as long as it is 2 kg or higher, the entire clay lump will be used. Adding additional clay subtracts 2 kg from a lump.
  • Failure when creating damages both the stone brick and the clay.
  • The rendered well requires 1 additional clay.
  • The well can be improved.

Usage

  • Once built, it usually takes around 15 minutes for the well to fill.
  • Water is typically refilled within minutes of depletion.
  • Courier can be cast on wells to make them into a Wishing well.
  • Wells also function on upper stories or underground tiles, located above or below ground level.
  • Can be loaded onto a large cart if empty, but cannot be held in inventory.
  • Wells cannot be dyed. They can, however, be color-runed.
  • Some items can be placed on top of the well as decoration. Since the well is already a container, any items placed on it will be dropped on the ground when it is loaded. A message in the event log will notify the player of this.
