Water Need!

[Deegan]

It would be really cool if there was a need for water.
And that there was a small lake/river that you could pump water and purify contaminated water.

I like the idea in general but I'm afraid it'll mean colonists will be spending a ton of time just staying alive (running after food/water and sleeping) instead of doing stuff.

Obviously, if plumbing was added it would make things easier. Alternatively, just make days last longer while keeping the per-day food and sleep usage the same so more stuff can be done within a day.

Hmm... Makes sense.

Not necessarily.
about 2 hours (in-game) after my colonists landed, they finished constructing their orbital beacon and comms console...Inside the house they built.

If that can happen, they could also just build a well or something. That should be a source of already purified water too.

No wonder why it isn't a thing yet...
