Atmospheric Water Generator

"A largely-forgotten and inefficient way of gathering water, no matter how dry the climate. It traps water vapor which is then cooled and collected into a usable quantity of liquid water. It has fallen out of modern use because of its power consumption, low output, and complexity."

This mod adds a building capable of producing 2 water each day, even in deserts, at the cost of very high power consumption. It is intended to make water production possible in dry places, but quite difficult and very slow. I wanted to make a more realistic and nerfed version of the Moisture Farming mod, which was my inspiration (Link: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1321702013 ).



Research Requirements:
- Level III Tech Bench [Can be found in the INDUSTRY research tab]
- Wells III Technology
- 1 Ancient Science Book
- 1 Press (vanilla item; can be looted from Ancient Labs, bought at certain trade goods / robotics stores, or crafted)

Construction Cost: [Can be found in the FARMING construction tab]
- 2 Iron Plates
- 3 Copper Alloy Plates
- 4 Electrical Components

Function:
- Requires 40 power (for max production efficiency)
- Produces 2 Water per day


- One Atmospheric Water Generator can provide enough water to get a harvest out of a hemp/wheatstraw/greenfruit hydroponic tub every 2 days, roughly.

- To save space, you can place each Atmospheric Water Generator you wish to eventually construct all at once in the build menu, and then afterwards click 'pause construction' on the ones you are not going to build right away. The build editor lets you place buildings closer together this way, for some reason.

- 2 small wind generators at full efficiency can power 1 Atmospheric Water Generator with an excess of 10 power.

- Most towns have an excess of power that you can drain from for free, which should help you set up your first couple generators, if you elect to buy a house in a desert town.

Thank you for checking out my mod! This is my first time putting a custom blender mesh into the game, but I was too scared to try out making a custom texture, lol. Perhaps I can figure it out in the future. And once again, thank you to 'Bong Hit Transplant' for the inspiration with his Moisture Farming mod.

AAAAA, I just found out that someone else has made an Atmospheric Water Generator mod before me! I did not see it beforehand, so go and check it out if you want to see another approach to the same concept: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=913257229 .
