Pyramid Lake Obelisk List

2009-10-06T01:47:29Z

Agamemnus:

This is a list of residents of Pyramid Lake who wish to build an Obelisk.

The person at the top of the list is the person whose turn it is to construct an Obelisk. He should be prepared with the materials before he reaches the top of the list. As soon as this person passes the test, he shall send a chat to the following person on the list indicating that it is their turn. If it is your turn and you are not prepared, please let the next person in line build their obelisk while you finish preparation.

If you would like to build an Obelisk in Pyramid Lake and are not on this list, please add your name to the end.

==Desert Obelisk Queue==
When editing list please put the size of the last winning obi ( ie. the largest before the one building/waiting now )

{{Template:BuildingInfo|image=AqueductTower.png|size=N/A|where=[[where::Aqueduct Construction Site]]|description=Part of an aqueduct.}}

== Overview ==

Aqueduct towers transport water across the landscape, providing many benefits to the areas they reach. A built aqueduct contains a single [[Aqueduct Pump]] that pumps fresh water into a chain of many aqueduct towers. Building a useful aqueduct is the challenge of the [[Test of Life]].

Aqueduct towers are built in an [[Aqueduct Construction Site]]. They can be built at fixed locations in a hexagonal grid with 20 coordinate spacing. To build a tower, there must be a suitable aqueduct tower or [[Aqueduct Pump]] adjacent to the new tower that can supply water.

The top of the "upstream" tower or pump must be at least 5 feet higher than the top of the new tower. If it is not high enough, you must raise the upstream tower (and possibly any towers further up the chain in turn) before the new tower can be built.

Each tower in a chain has an individual cistern that holds 2,500 water, and is fed via upstream towers from a pump. Water evaporates from towers at the rate of 1 water per minute, or about 1440 water per tower per day.

== Building Requirements ==

To build a tower requires the materials for an [[Aqueduct Construction Site]] (1 canvas, 4 rope, 50 straw) plus:

* 1 [[requires::Cistern]]
* 5 [[requires::Copper Pipe]]
* 20 [[requires::Tar]]
* 200 Black [[requires::Raeli Tiles]]
* 100 White [[requires::Raeli Tiles]]
* 50 Yellowish [[requires::Raeli Tiles]]
* 50 Redish [[requires::Raeli Tiles]]
* 50 Greenish [[requires::Raeli Tiles]]
* 50 Blueish [[requires::Raeli Tiles]]
* 100 [[requires::Concrete]]

== Raising the tower ==

A newly built tower has a height of 0 feet, i.e. the top of the tower is the same height as the ground. To support additional towers, the top of the tower must be raised. This requires variable amounts of:

* [[requires::Bricks]]
* [[requires::Concrete]]
* [[requires::Cut Stone]]
* [[requires::Pipe Segment]]s

To raise a tower, select "Raise the Aqueduct" and select how many feet to raise the tower by. You cannot raise the top of the tower to higher than 5 feet below the top of the next tower upstream. You must have all materials for the upgrade '''carried''' - the upgrade does not behave like a construction site. If you have sufficient materials, the tower is immediately raised to the new height. If you have insufficient materials, you'll get a popup telling you exactly what you need.

To raise a tower by a large amount, you will need carry food, or baskets onsite, or a helper to bring you materials, or do the raise in several steps.

Raising a tower from height h1 to height h2 requires f(h2) - f(h1) materials, where:

* fbricks(x) =
** 0 (if x=0); or
** 2000+50*x (otherwise)
* fconcrete(x) = 2*x
* fcut stone(x) = int(1.5*x)
* fpipe segments(x) =
** 0 (if x=0); or
** int(5 + x/50) (otherwise)

For example, raising a tower from height 0 to height 155 requries:

* 2000+50*155 - 0 = 9,750 bricks
* 2*155 - 2*0 = 310 concrete
* int(1.5*155) - int(1.5*0) = 232 cut stone
* int(5+155/50) - 0 = 8 pipe segments

== Benefits ==

Aqueduct towers provide a number of useful benefits:

* Drinking water from a tower gives a temporary +3 boost to one stat, which stacks with other bonuses from food, incense, etc (but not other towers). A particular tower always raises the same stat.
* They act as a source of water: you can fill jugs at a tower.
* Moss can be harvested from towers. Moss is required for some types of research, e.g. [[Herbiculture]].
* Some towers give a large (3x) bonus to vegetable yields for one random type of vegetable when grown near the tower. There is a list of [[Test of Life/towers | towers with known bonuses]].
* Towers allow growing of herbs from herb seeds, given the right ecological conditions.
