'''Water''' is found on [[Basic Knowledge|Wurm]]'s coasts, lakes, and wherever the [[terrain]] drops lower than the constant level of Wurm's water table.   ==Types== All water tiles are categorized into 6 groups:#Sea - open water#Sea shallows - open water shallower than 25 dirts#Lake - enclosed water, larger than a pond#Lake shallows - enclosed water shallower than 25 dirts#Pond - enclosed water, not big enough to be a lake#Water - not big enough to be a pond Any water tiles underground are considered lake or pond or water, depending on size.  Lake water is considered fresh, while sea water is considered brackish. Brackish water can be drunk and used for cooking as usual (with no ill effect), and can be boiled to make salt - 1 salt per kilogram of brackish water. The type, depth, and category of water affects the kind of fish that can be found within.  All surface tiles with a corner underwater (i.e. below the water table height) are marked as water. There is low enoughthen a fill process, starting at the map borders, marking any connected water tiles as sea; shallow connected tiles (i.e. less than 25 deep) are considered sea shallows.  Once all tiles connected to the borders have been handled, any bodies of water that contiguously cover at least 7 tiles in a row (N-S and E-W) are considered lake tiles. Additional water tiles next to lake tiles (i.e. the lake fills its connected tiles) are also considered lake tiles. Other Any lake tiles that are less than 25 dirts deep are marked as lake shallows, and any sea shallows tiles that are closer to a safe refuge from lake tile than a variety sea tile are converted to lake shallows. For any remaining bodies of nonwater tiles, if the body is a contiguous body of 2 in a row (N-swimming [[animals]] S and [[monster]]sE-W), the tiles are converted to pond tiles, along with any adjacent water has tiles (i.e. the pond fills its connected tiles). Note that pond radius is intended to be smaller than lake radius, so a pond is a number body of practical uses and can water that’s too small to be a lake (but still large enough to be collected a pond: 2-6 tiles in radius). Any tiles in [[containers]]caves (i.e. underground) with a corner under water is then marked as water. Large contiguous bodies of underground water are then marked as lake or pond, depending on size, in the same way as above-ground lake and pond tiles. Notes:* Inland body of water surrounded by shallows = lake (assuming it’s large enough, pond if it’s too small)* Inland lake connected to sea by at least 25 depth canal = sea* Inland lake connected to sea by less than 25 depth canal = lake* Any tile with water, less than 25 depth = shallows (sea or lake depending on closest water tile)* Lake = 7 radius (N-S, E-W), pond = 2 radius (N-S, E-W)* All water in caves is automatically fresh* Single tile over 25 deep = water, probably won’t get fish in it

Water can also tile category seems to be found determined at certain fixed locations by using server restart. Therefore a fresh water lake can became salty (so a [[pendulum]] sea) after connected to perform [[salty water divining|divination]]trough a deepth enough canal and after server restart. Water sources found in this manner must On the opposite a inland sea can be accessed by placing a [[fountain]] or [[well]] on re-turn back into fresh water lake after server restart, if the spotconnecting channel is fullfilled over -25 dirt level (-20 remains still deep enough for biggest boats).

 *Other than a safe refuge from a variety of non-swimming [[Creatures|animals]] and monsters, water has a number of practical uses and can be collected in [[containers]].*To collect water, activate a portable container capable of holding [[liquid]], such as a [[pottery flask]], [[pottery jar]], [[water skin]], [[bucket]], [[small barrel]], etc, right-click a [[water tile]], and select "Fill". The action is executed on the tile itself, so if it's too far away , an [[event window]] message will show that "You are too far away".

*Note: Have in mind that "Rare Water" is a posible item. Its special features are still unknown. == Water level ==Water at sea level Wurm's water table is universally set throughout the whole of Wurm and is , therefore, always found at the same. This also applies when [[mining]] tunnels. If mined deep enough sea level will be reached and create a submerged [[cave floor]] tile, which can also be used to collect water from, just like any other submerged tile.

* Water table: moist tile (+/- 0) no drink option available, no plant [[PavingSprout]], no build house, no meditate* [[Water tile]]: At below water level (+/<= -1) drink, refill options available* Passable by shallow draft boats: Five below water level (<= -5) ([[Crude canoe]]s, [[Rowing boat]]s, [[Small sailing boat]]s, [[Knarr]]s)* [[Digging]]: Up to seven dirts below water level (>= - 07)* Passable by [[large Large cart]]s: Three seven over Seven below water level (>= -7)

* [[Digging]]Passable by deep draft boats: Up to seven dirts Twenty below water level (<= -720) ([[Corbita]]s, [[Cog]]s, [[Caravel]]s)* [[Mining#Surface mining|Surface mining]]: Up to 14 25 dirts below water level (-1425)

* Plant [[Reed tile]]: over Thirty below water level (> -30) if not too much slope* [[Dredging]]: ?Up to 180 dirt, depending on your digging skill (-180) == Traveling on the Waterways == *It is possible to swim reasonable distances across water, but if the [[player]]'s [[stamina]] falls too low while in the water, they will start to [[drown]] and eventually [[die]]. This makes crossing large bodies of water very difficult without a boat or a swimming animal on which to ride. *While unladen and un[[armour]]ed, a player can swim at about 8km/h.*While swimming, players suffer a large [[combat rating]] (fighting) penalty, so it's not recommended to fight while doing so. == Additional Notes ==

== Travelling on the waterways ==It is *For a list of possible to swim reasonable distances across containers for water but if the [[player]]'s [[stamina]] falls too low while in the water it will start to [[drown]] and eventually [[die]] if other liquids, see the player does not make it back to land (or a [[boatcontainer|containers page]]). This makes crossing large bodies of water very difficult without a boat. While unladen and un[[armour]]ed, a player can swim at about 8km/h.

A player is generally quite safe from *Water can also be found at certain fixed locations by using a [[animalspendulum]] while to perform [[water divining|divination]]. Water sources found in the water, as most cannot swim; however, it should this manner must be noted, while in the water accessed by placing a player suffers a large [[combat ratingfountain]] or [[well]] (fighting) penalty, so it's not recommended fighting anything while swimmingon the spot.

A [[cart]] can't be dragged into water but *"Rare Water" is a [[raft]] or a [[boat]] will workpossible item. Its special features are still unknown.
