Deep Well

Deep wells produce water and petroleum.

To Build:

• 200 Rope
• 400 Boards
• 300 Nails
• 20 Screw Gear
• 500 Oil
• 2000 Leather

Built: medium construction site

Skills/Tech required: Deep Well Construction

To Operate:

The operation of a Deep Well is similar both to an Aqueduct Pump or a Barrel Grinder. The Deep Well has a "Wind the well spring" option, which involves END and STR.

• The END represents how long you have to wait before doing it again. At 0 END, this is 3 minutes / 180 seconds.
• The STR represents how much Spring Tension is added. This is calculated at (STR + 1)

A Deep Well can be wound providing the spring tension is below 100. This is not the maximum - if you have 25 STR, and the Spring Tension is 99, this will give you 125 Spring Tension. Attempting to wind the spring when the Spring Tension is 100 or more will generate the message "The well spring is as tight as you can get it".

After winding, each minute will...

• Increase the Deep Well inventory by 6 petroleum
• Increase the Water Level by between 4 and 6
• Increase the Depth by 1
• Decrease the Spring Tension by 1. Once it reaches a Spring Tension of 0, the Deep Well will "break", and needs to be repaired.

The cost to repair a Deep Well is 50 Leather and 50 Oil.

Selecting the option to take some water from the Deep Well generates the message "The high pressure of the water spigot causes a huge spray if water to soak the surrounding area!"

Due to the dissapearances of lakes, and shallowing of the nile in 7L, there's a theory that deep wells suck some of the lake water from the ground. Therefore, to conserve Egyptian water, I would like to suggest that more wells are made public (so people don't have to make their own water suckers) and that more people trade for petroleum as apposed to drilling for it. Because without water, we have no fish, tadpoles, or oysters. -RJJackson
