Build and Conquer Water: Build the Supply Before Expanding Housing
Water is explicitly required by the recorded House, Shop, Farm Field, Oil Pump and advanced apartment panels.
Which recorded buildings ask for water?
The House, Shop, Farm Field and Oil Pump in the October 12 walkthrough each list a water supply. The High Rise and Glass Tower panels also include water. These examples establish a common support need without proving that every structure in the game has identical requirements.

How do you make the water requirement part of a build plan?
The creator uses the service menu and shows a Water Tower as part of the starting support. Select the water facility available in your current menu, read its output or service conditions, and then inspect the selected receiving building. Reserve enough money for that support before placing repeated houses, farms or resource pumps.
We have not verified a universal water radius or a required pipe arrangement. Do not draw a fixed circle on a guide map and present it as a measured game rule. The useful check is the actual current facility and the receiving tooltip, with screenshots if you want to compare before and after.
How does water differ from another bottleneck?
The Oil Pump separately needs 4 workers and 20 energy. A house separately needs nearby-road placement. Providing water does not satisfy those other fields. Diagnose one failed condition at a time, then revisit its panel after the change. If a producer has a missing water requirement, copying its nominal output into a planner does not establish that it is producing at that rate.
