Water Crane for Foundation for Windows

Mod summary

This mod adds an animated Water Crane to Foundation that changes how villages manage water and food. It acts as both an irrigation source for nearby inhabitants and a source of fish, while introducing new strategic choices for settlement growth and resource allocation.

Construction needs

• Tools, stone, and planks are required to build the structure.
• An initial payment of 200 gold must be made before construction can begin.

Upkeep and neighborhood effects

• Weekly maintenance is 50 gold.
• The crane causes a modest drop in residential appeal for houses close to its location.

Core functions

• Produces fish over time for villagers to harvest.
• Supplies water to surrounding households and farms.
• Has a 33% chance to dredge up gems from the riverbed when active.

Why install it

The Water Crane deepens resource planning: you trade upfront and recurring costs (plus a small hit to desirability) for steady food and water production and an occasional gem windfall. It’s suited for players who want more management layers and alternative income avenues in their settlements.
