You can design a game but you can not design a player base.
Or can you?
Which we won't, because wells are strictly inferior to ponds so making them is a waste of time, resources and space. They need to regenerate faster than ponds to be worth considering. But even if they did regenerate faster tending the well would be very inefficient use of time, by the time you move all that measuring shit you could've brought back more water from ponds with a pouch filled cart.
I feel that you're forgetting something very important here, ponds are natural resources while wells are a player created water source. Yes, ponds are superior in reliability and safety. However, a civilization can only grow so big relying on natural resources. Often a village will consume all of the water reserves and out grow the the water respawn rate. Player made water sources are essential to supporting a growing populations soil and carrot production rate. Wells are not intended to replace ponds but rather to complement them in water generation. Creating wells might not be important for establishing a civilization, but it will likely be a very important tech in civilization progression.
Was there an update today?

One could theorize that you could build a massive water farm through the use of a large number of wells and cisterns, only drawing from the wells that are full and storing the water in the cisterns. Farmers would only be allowed to draw from the cisterns. Granted, such a system would require someone dedicated to maintaining it and going around and gathering a ton of stones, but with a big enough well farm, you could support several satellite farms.
I feel that pies still have a use in that they are really good for the use in expeditions. Can still be worth making a few and store in the village. However, if you're primarily working within the parameters of your civilization, it's a waste to put all that effort into making a pie then eating it afterward when keeping to a carrot diet would suffice.
