Learn how to secure a fresh drinking water supply for your civilization in The Universim. This guide covers building Wells and Water Pumps for essential resource management.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    After placing the Epicenter and assigning adults to gather resources, click the hammer icon to open the Buildings menu.
  2. 2
    Select the Well from the Epicenter category and place it in an area with a good water source (indicated by floating numbers; higher is better).
  3. 3
    While the Well is building, assess nearby bodies of water. You can use them for Water Pumps or Fisher Piers.
  4. 4
    Once the Well is complete, build a Water Pump. Most buildings require a Water Pump to function.
  5. 5
    If you plan to use Farms for food, you may need an additional Water Pump to ensure adequate water supply for crops.
Tips
  • Having multiple bodies of water near your Epicenter speeds up resource gathering for water and food.
  • Prioritize building a Water Pump after the Well is complete, as it's a prerequisite for many other buildings.
  • Consider the water requirements of different crops when planning your farms.
  • The number of water sources directly impacts the speed of water and food gathering.
