Atmospheric Water Collection Mod

Atmospheric Water Collection Mod Mod adds alternative water harvesting systems to RimWorld, allowing your colony to collect water from rain, fog, and even ambient humidity. Designed as situational alternatives to deep wells, these structures provide flexible hydration options depending on your biome and weather conditions.

Atmospheric Water Collection Mod Features

This mod introduces several new hydration solutions:

• Rainwater Tank: Fills automatically during rainfall. Holds up to 2,000 litres to avoid replacing traditional water towers.
• Fog Catcher: Collects rain at a lower rate but excels in foggy weather. Must be connected to a compatible water tank.
• Atmospheric Water Generator (AWG): Produces water from air humidity and works in almost any weather, including caves. Requires power and holds up to 500 litres. Performs worse than rain tanks and fog catchers during rainfall and produces minimal output in dry conditions.
• Rain Catchment (Update): A cheap metal sheet that gathers rainwater at a lower efficiency than the rainwater tank, ideal for early-game setups.

Weather Integration

Since RimWorld does not natively support humidity, water generation is calculated based on active weather types. This means AWGs generate the same amount of water in deserts and rainforests. Hazardous weather types such as toxic or acidic rain do not produce water.

Support has been manually configured for weather-adding mods. New weather mods may require updates. All generation values can be adjusted directly in the XML files.

Research Requirements

To maintain balance, these devices require the Ground-penetrating Scanner research as a prerequisite. This ensures deep wells remain the superior long-term water solution.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the AWG work the same in deserts and rainforests?
Because RimWorld does not track humidity, output is tied to weather rather than biome.

Can I tweak production values?
Yes, you can edit the XML files to customize water generation rates.

Compatibility notes

Requires Dubs Bad Hygiene (the lite edition is also supported).

To prevent wildfire rain exploits, using Wildfire (Continued) is recommended.
