Water Well (building and prop)
Water wells are commonly used in rural areas to collect and store rainwater. They are an inexpensive and low-tech alternative to water pumps and water towers, although they are limited in water quantity they can store and provide.
This particular well can provide up to 800 m3 per week, which should be enough to sustain 10 low-residential househoulds (on average) with fresh drinking water (statistic derived from "Realistic Population and Consumption Mod").
The asset pack also comes with a prop version that doesn’t naturally hold water and should be used for decoration purposes. However, you can use "Move It!" mod to manually place the water surface decal (provided in this pack) over the well. This way you can also fine tune the water height level without affecting the height of the well model.
For all those interested in asset creation feel free to take a look the resource files used to create this pack on GitHub[github.com]. You are free to use this asset pack and any resources used in its creation for personal use. Also take a look at the original model[free3d.com] used in creating these assets.
- Loading Screen Mod will make use of the shared texture file used for both building and prop. This will save memory and speed up loading time.
- Realistic Population and Consumption Mod was used to balance the water intake number. This mod is also great for general gameplay balancing.
- Ultimate Eyecandy in combination with color correction LUT’s such as Satellite or Cleyra really brings out the beauty of water decals.
- Move It! can be used to raise the water level by moving the building up or down or manually placing the water decal over the prop version.
