Topic: Wells claim to run out of water but doesn't?

I have noticed some strange behaviour from wells. From time to time, when I hover the cursor over a well, it will display the tooltip with "No resource left", just like when mines run out of resources. At first I thought they had run out of water and that I should demolish the building. But then I realized despite of the message it was still producing water. I watched it for a while and over time the productivity went up and down in waves, but it didn't sink down to 0% like empty mines do. So even though the wells reports that they are empty they have no problems keeping production up for the rest of the game. What is causing this? Is water a renewable resource so that it will fill up again over time, or is there a bug here somewhere? Ships! Top Quote |

If I correctly interpreted what I saw, Being no programmer, I apologize for all my suggestions that imply undue workload and for other misjudgements due to lack of expertise or relevant skills. |

You will always have enough water, because the water mechanic didn't work that well (haha), so the devs decided to make water an infinite ressource (or so). It's better this way for now. Getting water was a huge problem some builds ago. Top Quote |

I see. Makes sense that water is infinite since it is a renewable resource. Though I wonder if this means the "out of resources" message should be considered a bug?
I wasn't aware of that. Must have been before I got involved. Edited: 2011-06-30, 21:48
