Geysers of all Sizes

[Darkarma]

So I'm getting to a point where I may have to set the game down for a while and work out better water resource management but I'm finding that we may need more geysers of all types but of different sizes and outputs. That way you can have more geysers around the map, without vastly swamping things. The smaller the geyser, the more common it becomes.

As I understand it they are working on resource buildings. There will probably be a building that extracts more water from the geysir.

For me resource management hasn't really changed at all, 1 steam geyser for me and I am a happy bunny. Provides me with enough oxygen and toilet flushing as I need.

I like the idea of many sizes of geysers. Like four sizes? 4, 3, 2 and 1 tile wide

I'm hoping that we perhaps get the ability to 'drill' a new well (into the back wall).  It'd be interesting if this showed up as a cracked area of similar size to the old geyser graphic.  It could drip small amounts of water when exposed.   The could be covered by natural tiles, encouraging the player to dig out areas exploring for them.  And as someone else suggested awhile back, there could be a ruins building that will point you in the direction of the nearest water well source.  To give another good thing to find in ruins.

The pump you have to place over it could be another >1kw building, requiring the player to trade significant power for more water.  Rather than just easily getting free water, as current geysers provide.

It could also show up as a hot spot on the thermal map, or a cold spot depending. Makes it stand out a lot I guess though
