The Well
![]() |
The Well is where the Citizens go each day to collect their allotted Water Ration. In each new town, the well begins filled with anywhere from 80-180 (more information needed) water rations.
Ability to Take Water From Well
Each citizen can take 1 Water Ration from the well each day.
If the Pump is built, each citizen can take up to 2
Water Rations from the well each day.
If the town is in Chaos Mode, each citizen can take up to 3 Water Rations from the well each day, if the pump is built. If the pump is not built, every citizen is still limited to 1
Water Ration from the well each day.

poisoned water gives:
You need clean water (not from a Jerrycan, for example) in your rucksack.
Water Turrets

- Level 2 will drain 4 rations each day
- Level 3 will drain 6 rations each day
- Level 4 will drain 9 rations each day
