Enshrouded’s new Wake of Water update significantly expands base-building options, largely thanks to realistic water physics. Two particularly exciting additions are fountains and water elevators. While building these isn’t overly difficult, the game doesn’t clearly explain how they work. Here’s a breakdown of the key principles to help you build them successfully.
How Fountains Work
Okay, so as a big fan, let me explain how this whole thing works. It all centers around this one little spout where the water comes out. Imagine it like a hose that just keeps flowing until the water around it reaches the same level as the spout itself. But here’s the catch – if anything covers that spout, the water stops! So the whole design is built around making sure it stays open and can keep flowing. Seriously, keeping that spout uncovered is the most important thing!
A few basic things to remember:
- Water only wants to move downward (like actual gravity).
- Don’t let the Water Dispenser spout sit underwater.
- Leave a block of empty space underneath the spout.
- Give the water a direction to flow.
To build a clean, functional fountain:
- Place a water spout facing downward with a one-block air gap beneath it. You can place a block around it to ensure water does not rise high enough to touch the Water Dispenser.
- Build a basin at least two blocks tall around the landing zone. Water often rises over a one-block wall.
- Install drains along the basin walls at your desired water height.
- Small basins require more drains to keep up with the flow.
- Large basins need fewer because water disperses more slowly.
Why these steps?
When building a fountain, the most important part is preparing the area where the water will collect. I recommend making the catch basin at least two blocks high. A one-block-high wall is usually too short, and the water will likely spill over unless you add drainage.
As a pond enthusiast, I’ve learned that drains are super important – they’re what control how full your pond gets! You basically set them at the level you want the water to stay at. It makes sense that smaller ponds need more drains, since the water fills up faster. Bigger ponds can usually manage with just a couple because the water spreads out and rises more gradually.
If you accidentally move water to the wrong place, the pump tool lets you easily fix it. Think of it like an eraser – you can scoop up the water and put it where it should be. The recent Wake of Water update makes correcting these kinds of mistakes much simpler.
How Water Elevators Work
The latest update includes a really cool new feature: the water elevator. It’s basically a tube filled with water that lets you travel up, down, or sideways. The elevator is sealed with special doors that keep the water from flowing out, so you can swim through the tube to get around.
This technique works because the water stays put once a space is filled, even if you take away the pouring tool.
How to Build a Water Elevator
- Dig or build your elevator shaft to the height you want.
- Seal the front with a water door to keep water inside.
- Place a water spout inside the bottom of the shaft, but halfway up the initial fill zone.
- The water should rise until it reaches the spout. But do not have the spout covered.
- Remove the spout, move it higher, and repeat the process.
- Continue until the shaft is completely filled from bottom to top.
- Remove the spout when finished. The water will stay perfectly contained.
These doors completely contain water, so you don’t have to worry about flooding or losing water pressure in your base.
Using this method, you can build some different things at your base:
- Vertical elevators
- Underwater hallways
- Horizontal travel tubes
- Hidden base entrances
These add a new creative element to your base.
Final Thoughts
Okay, so the new ‘Wake of Water’ update for Enshrouded is awesome! Seriously, the water tools let you get really creative with your bases. It took me a bit to figure out how everything works – fountains and elevators especially need some patience to get running smoothly. But once you understand how the water flows with the spouts, drains, and doors, you can build some seriously cool stuff into any base design. It’s a game changer!
