Realistic Water and Thirst

[Xenomorphilo]

First of all, my compliments to the chef. This is a great game and I adore it very much. As the title mentions my suggestion is more realistic water. I assume something similar may already be planned, since the current water physics are Minecraft-esque and feel like a placeholder above anything else.

• This may be easily done through turning water essentially into a cellular automata.
• There could also be "spring source" embeded in rock, that would allow for waterfalls.
• Rivers with a gradiant would also improve the "aliveness" of the world.
• Soil could slowly absorb water and rain could replenish it.
• Differantiation between fresh and salt water and 
• Thirst should be added to give these changes a weight. 

Naturally these changes would lead to a far more dynamic ecosystem. As well as introducing potential systems of water management when it comes to agriculture with respect to engineering.
