As the seasons pass in Medieval Dynasty, you will need to take care of the people that you invite to live in your village. Every villager will need a house, food, water, and firewood. At the beginning of your life in the valley, it will be your responsibility to make sure that your villagers have all that they need.
Medieval Dynasty: How The Building Limit Works
Placing limits on building doesn't seem intuitive, but if you want to expand your village in Medieval Dynasty, just follow this guide.If you do not tend to your villager's needs, they may decide to leave your village and move somewhere else. You definitely don't want this to happen, so in this guide, we are going to outline everything you need to know about gathering water for your villagers.
Updated February 3, 2024, by Sean Murray: People are thirsty creatures, which is why it's important to get your village's water supply figured out in Medieval Dynasty. This guide will teach you the basics of thirst, how to fill a bucket with water, and how you can get a villager to do all that heavy lifting for you. We've also improved this guide's formatting and given it more links to other helpful Medieval Dynasty topics.
Getting Water For Yourself
First, let's go over how to get water for yourself. The most basic way to drink water is to approach any body of water, look down, and take a drink. This will completely fill your thirst meter.
Water can also be retrieved with a bucket or a waterskin. These are two tools that can be equipped on your toolbar and used at these water sources. Simply hold the bucket or waterskin, approach the water, and fill it up.
A bucket can be used ten times, while a waterskin can only be used four times. Waterskins will sate your thirst meter more, meaning that you will not have to drink again for a while.
Below, you can find the required materials to make both of these items.

Although waterskins may fulfill your thirst more than buckets, it's easier to craft a bucket at the beginning of the game. Planks will become available once you build a woodshed, but you can also buy buckets from various vendors within towns.
If your village location is right next to the river or a small stream, you can just rely on this for your own water supply. As mentioned above, drinking this way will completely satisfy your thirst meter.
Villager Houses
Once you build a house and move a villager in, you will need to supply them with food, water, and firewood. These items can be deposited directly into the chest of their house.
Although you will be able to drink water directly from a river or stream, your villagers cannot. They will need either a bucket or a waterskin.
The easiest way to provide water for your villagers is to fill up a water bucket and place it in their chest. If the bucket runs out of water or breaks, you will see a notification on the upper lefthand side of the screen, indicating that there is a villager who does not have water.
If you are struggling to give food and water to your villagers, try using berries. This is a foraged item that can be found in bushes during the summer. Berries will replenish both hunger and thirst, making them great if you are in a pinch and need both.
Remember, this is not the most efficient or sustainable option; they are only available in summer.
Food Storage Building
The food storage building will hold all food items gathered by villagers. Additionally, it will act as a supply building for all villagers. This means that, rather than visiting each house and placing food and water inside the chest, you can place it in the food storage building. Villagers will use the materials that they need, without the items being stored in their house.
If the food storage building runs out of water, then every villager will be in need of water. This can be a bit stressful, especially if you have a lot of villagers. Fortunately, you just need to place a few water buckets inside and everyone will be happy again.
To make the foundation for the food storage room, you will need eight logs. Below, you can find the materials needed for the walls, roof, and interior.
- 40 Logs
- 62 Sticks
- 32 Straw
Using A Well
In addition to getting water directly from a water source, you can use a well. This is an extraction building where you can fill up buckets and waterskins.
The well works like a crafting table; approach it and craft the water carrier of your choice. After a few seconds, you will have a container filled with water.
Assigning A Villager To The Well
A villager can also be assigned to work the well. This villager will essentially be a water carrier, filling up all buckets and waterskins. With a villager assigned to the well, you can completely automate water gathering for your village.
That's all there is to know about gathering water for your village. With a well and watershed, you never have to think about gathering water for the villagers yourself!
