*Water
*What is the water system?
It is a system that lets you collect, store, transport and distribute water in game. It functions similarly to the electrical system in that it has its own hand tool and you connect components in the same way.
Its primary use is for farming plants like hemp, berries and other foods.
Gravity is something you will need to be aware of. When sending water down towards the ground, gravity will assist you. If at any point you need to route water up away from the ground, you will require a component that can pump and that component will need electricity to function.
*Common Traits
Tool Cupboard authorization is required to make IO connections with the Hose tool.
There is a max depth of 9 components and a max of 6 sprinklers in a chain.
