Medieval Overhaul
Collecting Water for Ice
The Gather Water/Ice task only collects a single waterskin per water tile, and the task is ended after, with no option to repeat, or do forever. Given how much water is needed for a block of ice, gathering from a small lake will fill a single ice chest, which lasts one week. I feel this is not enough, if we are required to manually re-add the gather order. Perhaps a Well building that allows collecting water repeatedly? The amount of time pawns spending collecting is fine, even longer per waterskin would be fine, but the manual aspect is rather annoying, when most everything else is automated so well.

I second that something need to be done to make this a bit more easier and useful. I tried it but it's brutally tedious. It's taking like 4 of my crew of 6 to fill the ice mold during the winter to fill the ice cellar. I really wish Rimedeval ice patch comes back... That was doable.

Try use Resource Consolidation, i'm not 100% sure if it will work since it's a processor and not a workbench, but there's a good chance

Same here.
Collecting water from water tile is considered as mining, and it takes toooo long time.
Also, it makes player to keep giving order again and again.
It would be better either make it auto when the ice mold is built, or make collecting much faster.

There is well that you can collect water.

Sorry for the necro but I've found a work around for gathering water.

Basically i've manually edited the work amount required for gathering water.

1 Ensure your game is closed.

2 Go to the following folder;
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\294100\3219596926\1.5\Defs\RecipeDefs

3 Find the Recipes_Well.xml file, right click it and open with notepad.

4 Find the <workAmount> lines (theres two, one for gathering 1 and 5 water at a time) and change the number between <workAmount> and </workAmount>

5 Remember to save!

Default for gathering 5 water at a time;
<workAmount>3000</workAmount>

Example of gathering 5 water at a time, but 10x faster;
<workAmount>300</workAmount>

Or just use the git version that has a well

I should also not be to hard to just make a gathering spot you can place on the edge of water just for collecting water skins.
