New Faction - Drought Kings
An Faction that benefits from Droughts.
can't build dams.
Masonry:
Building, need water and logs to construct Bricks (new material) which can be used to construct Brick Roads (+X movement speed) & better houses (no Idea on function yet).
Chili (Food):
Nutrition 1, doesn't dry out during droughts (lore, not irl ik).
Tortilla Factory:
Creates Tortilla from Bread & Chili, Nutrition 3.
Costs Logs + Bricks to build.
Drought Born:
Can only reproduce during Droughts, If the kids are born during a Drought they have a little bigger adult model and following stats: + 15% Production on anything they work with BUT + 20% water/food consumption.
Silo:
Special food storage which can only distribute food during Droughts and only collects food rest of the season. SOLID, 4 squares, 3 blocks high, 400 Storage.
Capstan (Power generator):
Up to 6 Workers, generate 150 Power (while typing I realize it won't work with current power lines).
Know it hard to balance, hope the ideas inspires the Devs.

Gin Fuyou AdminI think you take "X works only during drought" too far, benefit should be something more indirect in my opinion. Like they have drought-resistant crops (they keep growing when not irrigated but for limitied time) or having independent water sources, like wells. Removing dam building when it's one of core features sounds too radical, they just need less need for building them. But general idea is pretty reasonable I think. ^_^

It was late night thoughts during work which I came up with the idea and as a fellow game developer I understand there is a ton of fans who comes with crazy ideas. And everything can't be added /& hard to balance.
So as my last sentence in the original text, hope this gives you some ideas to be inspired from instead of copying it directly <3 And I know you will be able to come up with the best ideas for the game. Keep up the great work! -

Gin Fuyou AdminI'm just a volunteer moderator, but devs will read that eventually, let me thank you on their behalf for now.

Phil MergedThe dirt resource could be used with a furnace to make clay pipes and brick dams. the pipes could move water almost comparable to the energy timber tube networks. The faction could be more about open dirt areas and could have a special farming system that grills prickly pears. a plant that can only grow in dry habitat and would actually start to die within range of water irrigation. Their water pumps could be long distances away from the river and you create a long system of pipes to connect. special. clay Lido pools and showers need water source networks.
