How are your water wells?

[Fast Johnny]

So, I have built and rebuilt a well several times. Each time it fills with water and keeps refilling for a couple days and then craps out. I thought that was a bug that they patched, am I missing something here? Also, its not like we are draining it dry either. It just doesn't fill anymore after a couple of days.

same is happening with my wells, but they are too cheap to care for me. when i see it, i just build a new one.

Yeah, I would just assume build a new one as well, except that the location of this FOB (forward operating base) means humping all that crap all the way up there everytime the well runs dry. While there is water a hop, jump and a skip away, the well in the base means not having to walk several blocks just to get a drink or fill the waterskins.

I was hoping they would've fixed this one by now. Any evidence that the higher tier well works, or not?

I use the mitra wells, they are too cheap to pass on (only 10 measly bricks per well). just mass produce them once and store them in your FOB and thats it, wells on demand.

Strange, my wells work fine. Seems like a bug that not everyone has.

My well by the Frost Temple has this same issue; thought it only happened with a server reset but that was proven wrong when I traveled away from it a distance only to return and find it dry. Water isn't easy to come by at that location but ice is.

I'm having well troubles too. I thought it happened with server resets only, but then it was dry when I logged on one morning. I don't think the server reset between the times I played. I could be wrong though.

So far it seems like the best solution is to just mass produce wells, and when the bug strikes replace them. Even in the same spot they fill fairly quickly again.

Yes, you're right water is not easy to come by up there and I always get thirsty eating all that spicey stuff to stay warm. Speedfreak has the right idea though, just build the Mitra water wells. They are cheap, always work and you can make a bunch and stick them in inventory for using at far reaching outposts that are dry as a bone.
