LONG DESCRIPTION

Just a water-well.
Alternative for offshore pump.
May be useful, if you have any problems with water (like you start without Starting area).

I made this mod to solve this problem - no water at the start.
Good starting zone (without starting area), but no water..

Works same as the offshore pump, but can be placed anywhere (on the ground, ofc).
Has same working speed - 60 l\s (1 per tick).
Has an internal buffer for a water (as a storage tank) - 5k.
Does not require power (if you don't like it - just don't install it).
No research required - available from start.

This water-well takes 5x5 tiles of space and removes pretty slow (mining time: 5).

FAQ

Q: Why it works so fast (as a normal pump)? This mod will ruins the game!
A: Well.. just don't install it. Or use another mod for water pumping: viewtopic.php?f=93&t=23297

Q: I still thinking, that this well works too fast. Nerf it!
A: It is deep water-well, connected to underground river. All is fine.

Q: For that reason you made this internal buffer?
A: This mod based on Storage Tank.. (offshore pump, as i think, hardcoded to work only on water tiles..)

Q: Where you get this sprites?
A: I made it in Cinema4D. Thanks to Yuoki Tani for basic scene setup.

Q: Hey, you have some issue with transparency, right here..
A: Yep, i know. Maybe i will fix it later.

Q: How about wire connection points?
A: You can connect it with wires, but points (graphically) itself does not configured properly. Do you really need it?

Q: Will you add some new functionality to this mod?
A: No. One water-well, more that enough.

Q: I don't understand even a single word from you..
A: Sorry for my bad english

PS: My first mod.

Nice! Looks very good.

Only problem is I think there is some green stuff and if Factorio has taught me anything, it's that all green stuff needs to be burned with FIRE!

But you can This green stuff has only 90-percent fire resistance

Ahh perfect. Carry on then.

I'm going to use this just because it looks absolutely amazing.

Can you maybe make a Nuclear Reactor model for the Nucular mod and donate it to that project?

Why not. I'm not so good at this, but at least i can try)

PS: Did we talking about "Fusion reactor"[1] or "Nucular 0.2.0 - Nuclear Reactors and Weapons"[2] mod?

[siggboy]

Nucular (number 2).

If you can make a reactor graphic that is only remotely as beautiful as this water well, then that's absolutely fine.

By the way I AM NOT the author of that mod, but I use it and I think it could use a better graphic for the reactor. I'm pretty sure the author would happily accept it (he still needs to update for 0.13 anyway).

[waduk]

You didn't upload this to mod portal ?

Man, i've been searching this mod for hours.

[aubergine18]

Yes, this definitely needs putting mods.factorio.com, it looks awesome!!

[steinio]

I published this mod for 0.13 and 0.14 to the portal, so that the hole world can rejoice with it.

If bSun0000 publish it him-/herself i will take it down again.

Greetings steinio

[aubergine18]

I'm wondering if it can be converted to using an assembly machine instead of storage tank, so that water production can be automated without needing a control.lua, which in turn should give faster performance.

[steinio]

Hello,

thanks to ElecNinja a working version is now on the mod portal.
https://mods.factorio.com/mods/steinio/StoneWaterWell

I changed the refill rate to 10 times faster as the fluid values are also multiplied by 10.

The original intention of bSun0000 was to provide the same flow like an offshore pump.
So if anyone want me to change it to the new 1200/s instead of 600/s, i'm open to it.

Greetings, steinio.

Q: For that reason you made this internal buffer?
A: This mod based on Storage Tank.. (offshore pump, as i think, hardcoded to work only on water tiles..)

It is actually possible to change an offshore pump to work on land as well. All you need to do is take an offshore pump and change two things:

• The adjacent_tile_collision_test includes "water-tile", this means that it has to be next to water. Change this to "ground-tile".
• The collision_mask includes "ground-tile", this means it will collide with the ground. Change this to "water-tile". You might also want to add "player-layer", and "item-layer" so it collides with the player, and items on the ground.

The only downside is that it's not rotatable anymore...

I've tried this out myself to confirm that it's actually possible (see attachment), and it greatly simplifies everything. Feel free to use it, if you want.

EDIT: forgot to mention the rotatable thing

I'll look into that It seems rotating in cursor works fine, but after it is placed, rotating on ground doesn't work.
