Why can I sometimes not build some structures, such as wells?

from Elemental Forums

I've been searching the Hiergamenon, but I believe that not all entries have actually been elaborated upon in 1.3.

I realize some structures need certain types of upgrades to build, and others need certain types of terrain to build. But I'm not sure I entirely understand all of them (and it would be nice if at least some of this could be added to the Hiergamenonenen.)

I have a town next to a river, which I would have imagined, as a source of fresh water, is the prerequisite to building a well. But I can't build one. Is there a list somewhere?

I have no clue, is that helpful?

Seriously, you only need a Town to build a well, no river. Are you sure you haven't already build one? Or an inn? Or maybe you do not have any room to build anything new? Are you sure it is a Town, and not a Conclave or Fortress?

Barred terrain for wells are river and swamp.
