Water
Water comes from the well in your garden, and it never runs dry: each time you draw from it you get 10 Water, at a small cost in energy. You rarely need to, because the chest in your yard starts with 100 Water.
Early on it goes into three things. 2 Water and 6 Flour make 6 Dough on the Kitchen Table, once you have the Bread technology; Dough is the base of Berry Pie and Croissants. The Kiln takes 5 Water to build. And Water is an alchemy ingredient with one green rune.
Water and Blood together make Dream Dust, the powder Albert asks you for. The chest in the tower laboratory has 3 of each. Study Water first: it costs 1 Science at the Study Table, and an ingredient you have not studied cannot go into the Laboratory.

Notes
- The well can be upgraded. Garden Improvement I (30 green) adds a Garden Well Upgrade for 6 Boards and 12 Bronze Nails. The new well gives 20 Water a draw and also collects Water on its own, one every few minutes. Unconfirmed: the rate is read from the game files (about one Water per 90 seconds), not tested.
- Beer, mead, soups and ink also take Water, each behind a technology of its own.
