Variability in water consumption - less thirst with shorter work hours

42 votes

Hi all,

What if beavers consumed less water when idle? It would be cool for 2 reasons:

- It prevents from a boring linear water consumption like x beavers consume y water per day: it would make it more dynamic.

- It give us another tool to refine water consumption: in case of drought you can chose to sacrifice productivity by increasing idle time, thus slightly reducing water consumption.

Also, why not making water consumption increase for a beaver when it is actually working, as opposed to when beaver are at their job but with no task, sitting on the porch. This would make 3 levels of consumptions: low when idle, medium when working but no task, high when actually working.

Would be useful during droughts

I assumed that this was how this worked. In my first run I stockpiled water before the drought and then reduced the working hours to 0 during the drought lol
