water woover *slurp slurp*

    Idea is you may suck in water with a tool called water woover and plug it out at another location.

    A BluePrint may create a tool named water woover.
    Like other tools you can equip water woover.
    With water woover you can "skim" water squares and it will appear in your backpack.
    You can release the water from your backpack everywhere you want.

    Examples:
    You want to build something with water
    You can go to your favorite planet with your build estate and may build a pool, a bath, a pond, a lagoon, a moat, a funny swashing pipe-system (I love the water gravity mechanis :love:), a thermonuclear experimental reactor water cooling system and so on. You may release the water from your backpack to the pool, the bath, the pond, the lagoon, the moat, the funny swashing pipe-system, or the thermonuclear experimental reactor water cooling system or whatever your ideas spit out. Would love to see the outcoming! Screenshots very desired if this will be implemented!

    What is needed:
    1. BluePrint is needed
    2. Icon for the water woover is needed
    3. Icon for the water woover in details is needed (for description and avatar-animation)
    4. *slurp slurp* sound is needed
    5. *bubble bubble* sound is needed (same as in water pump *bubble bubble*)
    5. action-handler wooving is needed
    6. action-handler releasing is needed
    7. water-pic in a bottle is needed
    8. many other things we non-developers don't know are needed

    Mechanics more in detail:
    1. You create a water woover with the water woover BluePrint
    2. You walk/fly/dig around the planet in the quest of water finding
    3. You equip the water woover (like equiping a rifle/sword/drill/pickaxe)
    4. You hold left mouse click on a water field in foreground
    5. If water is at mouse position then:
    5.1. One water square per 1.00 seconds will be removed (high delay to prevent players from diving and just remove all water)
    5.2. A *slurp slurp* sound is played
    5.3. One water square per 1.00 seconds will be created in inventory (as water-drop in a bottle or water-pic)
    6. You go to another location
    7. You equip water woover again
    8. You hold right mouse click on an empty foreground
    9. If the mouse position is really empty after 0.25 seconds then:
    9.1. A water square per 0.25 seconds is removed from your inventory
    9.2. A *bubble bubble* sound is played (same as in water pump *bubble bubble*)
    9.3. A water square is created per 0.25 seconds at mouse position.

    As mentioned in 5.1. the delay of 1.0 seconds for sucking in the water is needed to not annul water breathing mechanics. Maybe increasing the delay to 2.0 is an idea. Balancing-tests may show this.

    A funny thing:
    You can dive deep into water, dig a little hole up to you and woove the water our there. You have a breathing grotto then (I love that idea)

    Extension One: poison woover may woove poison (just imagine a moat with poison or with water and chobchob-/nomnom-aliens)
    Extension Two: lava woover, nyahahaha
