Water tower

Postby Ailaa » Fri Jun 05, 2015 9:19 am

How does a water tower work?

I am planning on building one, but i am not sure where to place it. Either i place it near the water, so i can fill it fast, or in the center of my town so it is close to where i need it.
I was wondering if you can fill a barrel with a single click? Or do i have to use a bucket each time i get water from it?

Because if i can fill a barrel with a single click, it would be a better idé to place it near water instead, but if i can only fill a bucket at a time, that would serve no purpose.

filling it near the water would not make a difference would it?
no you cant fill barrels directly from the tower.

Sorry - only a bucket at a time, but if you have some friends or live in a town its quite easy to set up a chain gang where a few people are carting/sledding barrels and another few people are unloading the water with buckets into the water tower.
Do not argue with idiots, for they will pull you down to their level, then beat you with experience.

If i built it near water, i could click the bucket on water, then the tower. And it would be worth it if i could fill the barrels with one click from the tower. But if it's only a bucket at a time, it's not really worth building one as i live so close to water :)

It appears you can fill a water tower with a barrel but you cannot fill a barrel with a water tower. I'll have to take a look at that in the future.

Does that mean you plan on making it possible to fill a barrel from a water tower? =D

I will consider it but it won't be a priority before expeditions.

Please if you're going to change that consider doing same for oil press too.

Oilpress should hold more oil and or be able to attach a barrel to it.
