Guild info
For organizing an aqueduct in Nomad's Paradise. Guild Hall is located at -797, 2675 in NP.
Planning Notes
Caveat: Most of this information and planning depends on info from previous tales.
Previous Tale Info
- Towers are placed in a regular hex grid pattern, precisely 20 coords apart.
- Drinking from a tower cistern gives +1 to one attribute, for one teppy-day.
- Each tower gives a 3x boost to one vegetable grown within 4 coords of tower.
- Chance that a tower will benefit particular herb foraging within it's 256x256 square.
- Moss, seemingly useful only for research, grows around each tower's cistern.
- Tower height must be 5' or more over subsequent towers.
- Need good quality barometer to gauge ground altitude to determine tower height.
- Passing over raised terrain will reduce the costs of raising towers on that terrain.
- Tower raising costs are incremental, linear and without upgrade penalty. Cost to height F is:
- There is no apparent data regarding the cost for height F for the pumping station.
Route
An Aqueduct Pumping Station site has been found and is marked by the GH. See nearby usable NP Water Towers. Suggestions for possible tower destinations are welcome and currently are:
- The cabbage/leek spot, roughly at -1369, 2011.
- This is a gamble that the tower built there benefits one of those two veggies.
- Vaguely defined locations near the X.
- Splayed tree pattern to various potential herb foraging squares.
Best route will depend on destinations desired. The options listed seem to all require a chain of towers roughly 50-70 towers in length. Surveying with a barometer is necessary to gauge the correct costs - assuming relatively flat terrain gives maximal values for the cost of a chain, so these numbers are upper bounds for the cost of a single chain of N+1 towers with the destination R feet above pumping station level.
| Item | Formula | N=50 | N=70 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total Feet = T | N*R + 5*N*(N+1)/2 | 50*R + 6,375 | 70*R + 12,425 |
| Bricks | 2,000 + 2,000*N + 50*T | 2,500*R + 420,750 | 3,500*R + 763,250 |
| Concrete | 2*T | 100*R + 12,750 | 140*R + 24,850 |
| Cut Stone | (3*T + N + 1)/2 | 75*R + 9,588 | 105*R + 18,673 |
| Pipe segments | 5+ 5*N + T/50 | R + 382 | (7/5)*R + 603 |
