FrankDaTank1218 (DayZ) 41 Posted June 26, 2012 My idea, Entrenching tools can be used to dig wells in forests, but doing so removes your entrenching tool, so you can't spam wells everywhere. Specifics:-Wells can Refill 5 canteens at first before being emptied.-However, everytime it rains in the server 5 more canteen refills are added to the well. For instance: Empty well + rain = 5 refills, 5 refills + rain = 10 refills etc... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
survivor_davey 0 Posted June 26, 2012 Removes your trench tool? Idunno...they are awfully rare. How about you can dig 1 per person or per person/per server or 1 per tool (but its still usable for other things) or something Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GiggleStick 0 Posted June 26, 2012 +1 from me. Can't see any exploits coming from it, and it could be an excellent addition to the idea of creating a camp (Which by the way, in 50+ hours of gameplay, I've still never found a F&$*ing tent). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matt.gilmurray@gmail.com 46 Posted June 26, 2012 Hmmmm I think it would be easier to just find a coke but if you are in the woods this is kinda necessary so I'm not sure what to think. No vote at the moment maybe after I take in the idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChaoticRambo 4 Posted June 26, 2012 Not to be nit-picky, but I think the proper terminology here would be water collection pit.Wells are very deep, and one would need more than an entrenching tool to dig a proper replenishing well. I do know that many places in the ancient (and modern) world wells were dug by hand, but the time involved to dig them also far surpassed what I believe you are suggesting.I would add that sandbags would be needed to retain the walls (to avoid adding a new material of blocks / rocks).Sorry to seem like a drag, I just want to be sure your idea is refined.
