Problem

Transporting large amounts of water from point A to B (without the bucket). How would you do that?

You may be thinking about building and aqueduct or ditches to dedirect water but due to the rather short flow range of water this can become a bit complicated (or totally impossible)

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Idea

  • Reusing the already existing copper chute as pipes? (suggested by @Never Jhonsen) for medium range transport
  • Or adding lead pipes to the game (as they where used in ancient times, also suggested by @Never Jhonsen), which could give lead an new function
  • steam power in game

Design and concepts

* lead pipe variants

* water town providing water to pipe system. water in the tank will slowly decrease to water crops. Play can (dis) connect parts of the pipe network by opening/closing valves (see wooden handle bar)

How it works

to be dicussed, open for suggestions

Ideas

  • rain gutter and water collection barrel
  • rain gutter catches rain, which can then be used to water your crops
  • player can pick up water for the barret and add it to the water tower
  • pipes connect to spring to fill up water tower
  • two different types of pipe: transport pipe and irrigation pipes

That's all for now!
