Separate Water the Item from Water the Source

A shoreline is a collection source, a Water Bucket carries the source, and the Craftbot converts one filled bucket into five Water items. Recipe totals refer to those stored items, not to five bucket trips.

Count Water Across the Full Upgrade

  • Metal Block Level 2 consumes Water in each batch.
  • The Level 3 recipe adds another Water requirement after the Level 2 batches.
  • Keep farm-system Water and workshop-recipe Water in clearly separated storage.
