A vital source of water, you won't last long without it.


Well is a structure for drawing Water from the ground.  

The output of your wells will depend on location, Prospecting should be used to find a suitable area to build, generally near bodies of water.  

Watering can be automated by selecting a worker, press Shift+RMouse on the Well/I, II, III, then release on the inventory button. This will create jobs allowing you to arrange order of the assigned jobs so you can bring water to the farm from your well or water tanks.

Always look at your jobs to see what was assigned after Shift+RMouse to make sure your character(s) are doing the work in the correct order or desired order.
