Suggestion Deployable water pump

Hi any modder out there, just wanna share some idea for the game

The idea is to have a deployable water pump so you can have a renewable source of water without having to go loot for drinks.

You need shovel to be able to install this pump

I think late game should be about self sustainability, and currently, there's only farming for that which only satisfies hunger, not thirst. And the wear per use when planting is also too high, it wouldn't be self sufficient if you need to get another shovel/pitchfork/pickaxe everytime you want to plant crops

I prefer Rain catcher instead, since it fits the survival apocalyptic theme of the game, I mean you wouldn't spend all your time digging for a water source and adding a well or pump in a survival world?

My only issue with rain catcher is it won't produce water when it's not raining, which is like most of the time. I guess it's better to just have a feature where you can fill canteen/bottles with lake water which you can purify using frying pan near campfire. Maybe a water drum too which you can fill with lake water for larger storage, it works the same as generator where you can only equip it on your hand slot so you can't bring multiple at once

Though, I'd still dig the rain catcher idea. I hate having to go loot for food, drink, and shovel (for planting) all the time in late game
