Title: Directions to water when there's no water in village
Post by: Plotinus on October 02, 2025, 01:57:47 PM

In my game, there's a spring 8 steps northwest of the village, but if I ask the villagers for directions to their well, they say they don't really have any water in the village. It would be cool if they could say "We don't really have any water in the village, but there's a spring to the northwest about 10 meters away."

If the villagers’ script could check the 8 surrounding wilderness map tiles for water, be it spring, river, lake or sea; that’d do the trick.

Bonus points if they’d say, “there’s a river east of the village”, “there’s a spring south of the village” and so on. Rather than the x distance to cardinal/intermediate direction. Better immersion.

Yeah, that'd do the trick. They could mention pine mires/open mires too if they're intended to be drinkable rather than different water types being unimplemented.
