Water Tutorial

Starting Out

 * Put some effort into selecting where you start out.
 * Long term you will need to find large underground water sources or distill salt water with the salt works.
 * You will need access to fresh water until you research far enough to build a salt works
 * Build a water pipe to connect your still directly to the water source.
 * The end of the pipe must be underwater for this to work.
 * The water must be fresh water.
 * Build pipes in the carpenter or mason workshop.

Moving water short distances

 * Dig a trench between the pool you want to move and a new pool.
 * Water will only flow 30 blocks without any change in height, so make the trench deeper by 1 block every 30 blocks of distance.

Moving water upwards

 * Build a water pump and windmill and connect them with mechanisms.
 * They must be connected at the gear icon.
 * Mechanisms are built in the crafter's workshop.
 * The water pump will take water from the input and output it at the output.
 * Both input and output can be connected with pipes. The input pipe needs to be underwater for it to work.4.JPG

Saltworks

 * The outlet of the saltworks should be over a pit for the created fresh water to collect. Pipes can be used to direct the output.


 * The input must be connected to salt water with pipes. The inlet has to be underwater.
 * The outlet for the saltworks should be over a pit for the created fresh water to collect.
 * If the a layer of the pit is too big, the water won't stay but simply disappear
 * 7x7 seems to work, don't go larger
