Refill fountains continously, just like a normal well

Idea: Refill fountains continously instead

Summary here: Wouldn't it make sense that a fountain which has not been used for a fair while fills up (slowly?) again, just like a dried out one does? ... However, if fountains are thought of as a kind of well, it would make fair sense that a small amount would be continuously added throughout time - the Scanner would show the current value, but a worker might actually stay several hours and collect a bit more than that. It might increase the game dynamic feel, and probably would change actual play much. ... A workers gets 1 per hour, and there might be several worker per fountain. - unchanged.

A fountain running dry stays dry for some time. - Changes from 24 h to maybe 6h?

The number of players who have used a fountain the last week affect how fast it is respawned. (simply divided by the number of players) - unchanged

If the fountain has some content it fills with F per hour. - new

F could be something like 0.5 and increases with the number of players using this fountain the last week too (log(n) or 0.5 + 0.1n or something...) - new

When respawning a fountains it starts from 0 instead of full. - changed.

The fountain still has the same max value. - unchanged ...
