Water-powered draining engines are ingenious devices used to remove water from underground mining operations. These engines utilise the force of flowing water to power pumps. Positioned adjacent to the mine shaft, the water wheel is connected to buckets and chains that lift water from lower levels to the surface, allowing miners to work in drier conditions and extract materials more efficiently.

Draining engines boost the output of Stone by 10% per level
