Super Water Tower

This mod adds the ability for the player to research and build a Water Tower as a new tier of well. Water towers can already be found in the base Kenshi game, but are not buildable by the player. This new water tower has the same output rate as a normal Well III but has increased water capacity. By combining the functionality of a well with additional storage capacity, it improves character AI management and reduces base clutter.

The new water tower is a slightly larger version of the water tower found in base Kenshi. I didn't modify the existing water water to avoid conflicts with the vanilla experience or other mods that may already utilize it. My new water tower can be researched at research level 4 after unlocking Well III. It holds 100 units of water compared to the Well III holding only 10 units, but requires more power to operate (25 vs 10 power respectively). In the building menus, the new water tower is can be found in the Well section.

I had issues with multiple storage containers and production stations causing the characters to behave erratically or not do what I’d expect. This is due to the way the AI is implemented and I couldn’t fix it directly with a mod. In game, I would typically use an extra worker dedicated to hauling to make sure the AI behaves appropriately which, to me, seems to defeat the purpose of more advanced automated production buildings.

Not only does this simplify the AI management, but I think it makes the bases look nicer, but that's just my opinion.
