Strategy
The Water Pump is one of the most important Buildings, because Water is used so many ways. Therefore, a well developed settlement will have several.
Peeps will go to the closest pump to their Hut to fetch Water to store for drink during breaks. Minimizing this distance for the most Peeps is an important way to keep the settlement running efficiently and Peeps happy.
The main riverway near the Home Spaceship curves back and forth, so will have plenty of tiles protruding a little further into the water and surrounded on three sides by water tiles instead of just two. Placing pumps on these tiles earns the pump an extra 30% storage. With several pumps spread around, the settlement may not need any dedicated storage for Water.
