Where are you spending all the water? And what tank booster do you have? Since at most you can have 14 drones, that is 14 units of water a day. 2 of the expansions have a natural water source, and each collected glob is 5-10 units of water. How in the world you are wasting time getting there is perplexing personally.

I guess it depends on how you use your water. I use mine quite a bit. I use it against Tarrs, to push away feral largos, to water drones, to water my quantum/crystal largos when they get out of control, sometimes I accidentally waste it when I don't notice I am on the water and I shoot it. I am more perplexed why you are perplexed.
Also Mochi's Manor is not exactly at an easy point to access on the Ranch. Its in the cave, oposite end of the ranch and you still have to go in and go all the way to the natural pond to get it before you have to head back. In essence it is almost the same distance as the Dock depending where you are on the Ranch.
If we use your logic why do we need a Market and Refinery link? The Market is in the middle of the Ranch, easily accessible to every extension and the Refinary is not that far away from the main areas likely to have most of your slime for resources. But then there are gadgets that seem useless.
What's the point of Med Station? I have one and have little reason to use it. None of the slime, even feral largos, are dangerous enough to need to convert my energy into health and even then the health bar goes back up pretty fast. About the only time I found it useful was when I was moving Rad largos from one corral to another and I didn't want to waste time waiting for the radiation bar to go down.
And the Spring Pad, what's the point of that? I used it once to jump over a fence in a particular area just to get around faster and yet I could already do that with the jet pack. Even the Gordo Snares seem mostly useless. I would rather wait to get the Master Gordo Snare just to ensure I get the gordo I want. And don't get me started on the Decorations that take up valuable gadget spots, which are lacking in numbers in my opinion, that could be better used with teleporters and warp depots.
Some of these things are rather useless in most cases or completely yet they are there. This well gadget would actually be useful. Believe me, I take this game very seriously since I am a perfectionist and this game allows me to express this perfectionist mentality in the way I build my ranch and where I set everything up for maximum efficiency. I'm currently working on some Youtube videos just for this.

-I frequently find myself needing water so having a slime science gadget like a well of some sort would be really helpful so you don’t need to waste a plot for water. It would just take up a slot for the gadget placement.

Only thing in going to say is that entire post seems to take it as I think it wouldn't be helpful, and entirely ignores the post I made before your post was made. In addition your calculations for water consumption ignore other water sources that would be nearby, and use water rather than energy for tasks that energy would be not only cheaper in doing, but far more effective.
The argument that the water source at mochi's isn't any more convient takes my over all argument way out of context by then ignoring the point you next argued on water usage. And your point on the market links does the same thing. My point is you can pick up water along your path, and can store more than enough water for the duties at the ranch, you can generate far more plorts than you can carry and as such can't carry enough for one load of your duties on the ranch, there fore the convience is fully beneficial. My main point with the well is it was overkill and mostly redundant functionally. Your primary examples in an attempt to refute this point don't share this trait besides the medstation, which mostly falls short due to health regen and slow damage out put. Or in cases of high damage output you die way to quickly to react (200 rad slimes for example)
