Some thoughts on the Queen's Retreat Waterworks Project

The Test of Life and a good Aqueduct System is a very expensive venture, but if done properly, we can pass many people and provide a very useful resource to the region.

Aqueduct System Benefits

In addition to being a test pass, there were Five major benefits to having an Aqueduct System in T3.

• The Vegetable Bonus - Near various towers there is a triple yield vegetable harvests bonus area. Veggies are grown here just like any other place, you just get 3 times as many when you harvest them.
• Growing Herbs - Herb seeds can only be planted near some aqueduct towers.
• The Attribute Bonus - You can drink from a tower and will get a 24 teppyhour (~27 RL hrs) +1 boost to a single attribute. The attribute boosted is in addition to permanent stats and in addition to food. This is especially useful when your Strength and Dexterity are not the same and you can drink to boost the lower stat to have 500 more carry.
• Moss Growth - A different varieties of moss grow at each tower. Moss is used for other tests and for monuments.

Builds a 500 foot tall tower and a one twentieth share of a 500 foot tall pump with an upgraded cistern. If we have more than 20 people that are willing to do the "full-monty" we can adjust the fixed cost items and still collect the full amount on the variable cost items. This will allow for a higher Pump with a larger storage cistern.

This basically is the cost of a high tower near the pump and a share of the pump costs.

The costs are very high and I would suspect that a lot of "inter-Khartoun trading" to get the resources done to get this all together.

Cost to build the pumping station:

• 0/600 Steel Wire for Tension Mechanism
• 0/600 Copper Wire for Winding Mechanism
• 0/120 Moon Steel for Waterproof Sheath (this is most likely sheeting, even though it doesn't say so)
• 0/1 Cistern
• 0/50,000 White Raeli Tiles
• 0/30,000 Greenish Raeli Tiles
• 0/30,000 Yellowish Raeli Tiles
• 0/30,000 Pinkish Raeli Tiles
• 0/50,000 Black Raeli Tiles
• 0/100,000 Any color of Raeli Tiles
• 0/50,000 Rotproof, Rigid, Nontoxic Boards
• 0/10,000 Concrete for Base
• 0/100 Oyster Shell Marble
• 0/100 Night Granite
• 0/100 Grey Star Marble

Tower Construction Costs

Towers are built in a similar way as pumps. The construction tool will note how far away from a suitable location you are. You must be within 8 feet of a suitable location in order to place a construction site. Once placed, the construction site still may not work if it's not placed close enough to a pump or a connecting tower (it will say this and not let you add materials).

• 0/1 Cistern
• 0/5 Copper Pipe
• 0/200 Black Raeli Tiles
• 0/100 White Raeli Tiles
• 0/50 Yellowish Raeli Tiles
• 0/50 Reddish Raeli Tiles
• 0/50 Greenish Raeli Tiles
• 0/50 Blueish Raeli Tiles
• 0/100 Concrete
• 0/20 Tar
