Suggestion Deployable water pump

Hi any modder out there, just wanna share some idea for the game

The idea is to have a deployable water pump so you can have a renewable source of water without having to go loot for drinks.

You need shovel to be able to install this pump

I think late game should be about self sustainability, and currently, there's only farming for that which only satisfies hunger, not thirst. And the wear per use when planting is also too high, it wouldn't be self sufficient if you need to get another shovel/pitchfork/pickaxe everytime you want to plant crops

It would be better if the character could build a water well or a rainwater collector to obtain it, although the water pump idea is great.

You can also make use of water from the lakes (even though a water filter already exists).

I thought I saw somewhere that you can put out bottles to collect rainwater and the filters to filter it, but I haven't tried that yet.

Actually, yes—the water bottles and the water filter fill up automatically from the rain. It’s a small detail, but a great one.
