Build Stone Wells in Manor Lords

Building Stone Wells in Manor Lords is a relatively straightforward process. This isn’t a base building, but rather an upgrade for the existing Wooden Well. You need the following materials to upgrade a regular well to a Stone Well in Manor Lords:

MaterialQuantity
Planks4
Stone10

If you have the required materials, the Well will be upgraded by clicking the droplet icon when the base structure is selected.

Unlike the regular Well, a single Stone Well can supply water to 50 plots, which is a huge upgrade.

This ensures that you don’t need to build multiple wells across the residential area, and instead place other structures in their place.

As a prerequisite for the materials though, you do need to have an established Stonecutter Camp with access to Stone deposits to generate Stone as well as a Sawpit to process Timber into Planks. As you grow your village, more plots will require a consistent water supply, so having a few Stone Wells is essential.

The cost might scare off some players from upgrading early on, especially when Stone is a bit rare during that time, but it pays off, especially when your humble village turns into a bustling city.

In addition to Stone Wells, the following features have been added as part of the update:

  • New Playable Maps: High Peaks and Winding River.
  • Overstock Setting Added: This setting allows the user to control how many extra goods are placed in distribution buildings.
  • Bridge Building System: Bridges can be built using the Road Tool.
  • Level 2 Tavern Upgrade

You can read the complete patch notes here with all the balancing updates, major changes, performance improvements, and bug fixes. Overall, these wells are a welcome addition to aid players trying to fulfill the needs of their residents.
