PSA - Deep Well (in atom shop atm)...

[Angela]

...only holds 2 water no matter how long you leave it.

Takes up a lot of space and can only collect and hold 2 water

[DusK]

Hard deep well :D

[Angela]

Collects the water really slowly too, apparently purified water is OP and must be carefully metered out in case we win too much

[Mandalorian Deathknight]

might be an alternative to the water cooler plans

If it's a purified water source then it probably shares a production speed with the other water producers. A recap of the process:

Off memory purified water is 24 water per hour, or 1 water every 2.5 minutes. If you have multiple water purifiers it doesn't speed up the production, just allows more storage.

1 water will be added to one of your purifiers at random every 2.5 minutes.

What is odd is it's a purified water source and not dirty (though that would compete with the Settlers well). I guess if you dig deep enough in Appalachia the water is pure? Bottle that or use it to brew (although we can't...).

Only if you don't have those, the well takes up way too much space and requires dirt as well, but only holds a max of two same as the water coolers which can be put anywhere and take up hardly any space.

Not what I would call balanced.

The maximum it can hold needs to be greatly increased simply because of the space it takes up.

Some vendors sell 3 different plans for water pureifiers. 2, 3. and a large 5.. break down and buy some :).

do they cost the same amount of placement as the coolers or is it cheaper?

The two big ones require water to be placed, this is a ground purifier, supposedly an alternative for people without camps on water areas.

That "small" base camp plan that goes on dirt is also too big and awful to ever be used, the water cooler and the little Vault Tec purifiers would be their replacements. This one should be a replacement for the large purifier that requires a water placement.

They cost the same as the water cooler, 40 FUs.

Anyway point of thread was to serve as a warning for anyone expecting the size of the thing to indicate how much it can hold - it doesn't.

This item is only good for people who are wanting the appearance of yet another well in their camp

Faster to get water from a river then boil it it after .

It's a water purifier item, not a dirty water item.

[Traveler]

Just build thirty water coolers, it's hilarious.

[Hexoplex]

Appreciate this, I was looking at it wondering if it would be like the vintage water cooler or if I would be able to manually harvest unlimited water, albeit slowly. I'll just stick to my vintage water coolers :D

[SpaceDink]

purified water is so abundant and useless in this game that i usually sell it or dump it if i dont feel like the caps are worth the effort
