Mod «Tank Water» for Project Zomboid

«Tank Water» adds a realistic industrial water storage system to Project Zomboid. Large-scale tanks appear in farms, warehouses, construction sites, and industrial zones. Not all tanks contain water—some may sustain your survival, others offer nothing after the shutoff.

Features  

— Adds industrial water tanks with capacities: 1200 L (S), 2000 L (M), 5000 L (L), 10000 L (XL)  

— Tanks spawn naturally in relevant locations  

— Each tank stores a variable amount of water and can be full or empty  

How It Works  

— Water is moved using a motor pump and transfer hose  

— Hose connections are site-to-site with distance limits  

— Different hoses support different maximum ranges  

— Pumping uses fuel and causes gradual wear  

— All actions—transfer, extraction, cleaning—are progressive

Mod Interaction
