Codex notes

Construction

  • Available: from the start of the game
  • Resources: 50 twigs, 100 leaves and plant fibres
  • Time: 1 day per 2 m of depth, plus 1 day for the winch, bucket and rope
  • Workers: 2
  • Hardship: 20

Use

One person is enough to operate it: the bucket is set on the ground so others can drink or pour the water. Each bucket brings up 3 L of water. With 20 structure HP, it withstands level 5 winds.

Upgrade (level 2)

A makeshift plastic bottom stops the bucket from leaking: 5 L per bucket. Cost: 50 twigs, 200 plant fibres and 20 makeshift plastic. The upgrade unlocks once the colony notices it is losing water.

Tip

Watch the animals around you: they show where to dig, and how deep.
