Revised for Season 17

Have you ever heard of dowsing? It is to use an odd looking tool which resembles a forked metal rod to find underground water. Using the same idea, if we build a pair of gigantic divining rods, we might be able to locate a large water reserve. The idea is absurd even for a post-apocalypse world, but the important part is that it works.

Construction

• Requirements for the Construction:

• The Divining Rods must have been unlocked with a blueprint:

• Construction Blueprint (very rare!)
• Hotel Construction Blueprint (very rare!)

• The Pump must have been completed.
• The following resources must be in The Bank and will be used up after completion:

•   5×  Electronic component
• 10×  Patchwork Beam
• 10×  Metal Support
•   1×  Copper Pipe
•   2×  Laser Diode

• Citizens must spend 130 to complete the building.

• The costs can be reduced to 122 / 114 / 107 / 98 / 85 by Upgrading the Workshop.

Effects

• Completing the Divining Rods adds 100  Water to The Well.

Changes

• In Season 16:
