A player near a well.

A well is a man-made structure tunneling down an aquifer for the purpose of extracting water.

As of build 41, wells can only be found only outside of the cities. There are several known wells:

The first is located at a farm to the northwest of Muldraugh.
The second is located at the farm directly south of the first well.
The third is located at the cabin in the western woods, north of McCoy Logging Co..

Uses

Unless changed in the sandbox the city's water supply will shut down after 0-30 in-game days, and the water appliances found throughout Knox Country will be limited to whatever remains inside their reservoirs. From that point forward survivors must rely on either wells, rain, natural bodies of water, or stockpiled and looted beverages. As of Build 41, the well provides an unlimited amount of water without drying up or freezing, offering a limitless supply of water for survivors who choose to base nearby.

Plumbing

The introduction of the plumbing mechanic offers a reliable source of water rivaling the utility of wells, depending on a survivor's individual play style.

Plumbing is currently unable to connect to wells, however a full rain barrel easily provides 400 units of water that can easily supply a survivor until the next rainfall. Additionally, the survivor can connect up to 8 rain barrels to a bathtub the floor below for the use of as a reservoir. During the warmer months it can be difficult to imagine needing the unlimited water a well provides, however the lack of rain in the winter can make the well an excellent source of water during the colder months.

 ==Uses==
-After some time, the city's water supply will run out. When the [[Plumbing|water appliances]] found throughout [[Knox Country]] no longer work, a survivor must rely on either wells, [[Rain Collector Barrel|rain]], a body of water, or whatever [[Food#Drink|beverages]] the survivor has stockpiled. As of build 41, the well provides unlimited amount of water and never dried out or freezes, so building a safehouse around it can prove to be beneficial.

-With the introduction of the [[Plumbing]] mechanic, the utility of wells for mass purified water is debatable.
+The introduction of the [[plumbing]] mechanic offers a reliable source of water rivaling the utility of wells, depending on a survivor's individual play style.
-While plumbing can only draw from the reservoirs, even a single full rain barrel at 400 units gives plenty for normal use between rainfall. Couple that with the ability to have up to 8 rain barrels feeding one [[Bathtub]] and that bathtub able to work as a reservoir for an item the floor below, and it is difficult to imagine needing the unlimited water a well provides.
