I was thinking about how to help/build a civilisation to be able to sustain itself for as long as possible (or eternity). How to build the "perfect" village.
When you build a village and start to farm you use the ponds, when empty build and use shallow wells, when empty build and use deep well, when also empty, build cisterns and gather water from far away. BUT if these water sources also run dry you need to go farther and farther away until it is not possible to sustain the village.
In the last few games i got born into a village in its end phase. i tried to help farming, but i couldn't, because all wells were dry and the water sources around the village were also going dry.
I just think its sad that every village, at on point, will go extinct. And the only option is to take as many tools as possible and create a new village far away.
I just think the recovery rate for water is way too low. I think its a good idea, that water is not an endless ressource, but i think its way too scarce. I think the wells should recover water every 5-10min. then it is possible to sustain a small community.
I have been in many villages, with a lot of different farmland, which are dying because water is running out.
As i understand it currently, farming can not be sustainable for a long lasting civilisation, because the wells will run out.
Please correct me if my assumptions are wrong. This is my though process:
lets say i want to live off of carrots.
carrots regrow every 4min, and lets say you need 1min to harvest, plant and water again to start the circle.
so lets say every 5min you can get 5 carrots a 7 food points, which is 35 foods points every 5min.
depending on the temperature you need 1 FP (food point) every 5s to 1 FP every 25s.
this means you need naked in the snow 42 FP in 5min or 12 FP in optimal temperature.
this means a naked person can live off a single field of carrots or 2 people with clothes.
BUT this needs water every 5min (forget soil and seeds for a moment)
a pond or a shallow well recovers a unit of water ever 30min.
This would need 6 ponds/wells for a SINGLE farmland!! to be sustainable and never run out of water!
Do i have any error in my think process?
Thanks
