Guild info
For organizing an aqueduct for the Test of Life in Nomads' Paradise. Guild Hall is located at the coordinates -797, 2675 at the rivers edge.
Priorities
What are we stuck on? Behind with? Not gonna worry about sticking to a schedule - this is a game after all, but we can use the 100-day goal to determine what we're behind on.
Currently the focus should be on infrastructure, building the machines that do things with little tending needed. Choose a part you can supply, then note where you've put it after it's done.
- Greenhouse parts for 1 of 6 more
- 32 Sheet Glass
- Terrible at glass? Maybe just supply mats then?
- 500 Dirt
- Brick Machine parts for 1 of 7 more
- Cut Stone - for Small Warehouses
- Digs for more Cuttable Stone and also Cement mats.
- Raeli Oven parts - Nearly ready for #14 resin-wise, but lacking all these parts
- 1500 Boards await treatment in NPAA #1
Planning Notes
Caveat: Most of this information and planning depends on info from previous tales. Towers are used for Test of Life. Some of the initial capacity for Raeli tiles will be directed toward Funerary Temples for the guild members, and stored at -1305,2700 until ready to distribute.
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. An ambitious, potential NP Water Tower route stops at all major population hubs close to X/CS. Route is largely determined by the roads and the geography.
Surveying with a barometer is necessary to gauge the correct costs. If one assumes relatively flat terrain, we get 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. The smaller length chain calculations assume those chains are attached to a longer chain to get access to the pump. Note: R ≠ 0 only for the longest chain.

Resource Estimates
Estimates used in calculations:
- Aqueduct Pump Costs.
- 5 ovens total, 1 producing yellowish, 1 producing pinkish tiles.
- Brick machines used are neither tuned nor upgraded.
- All chains, with a 40' rise on the longest.
- Average of 320 tiles produced each day by any single oven.
- Average 45 gravel/medium stone.
- Cuttable Stones appear every 10 seconds in a 6 person dig.
Time and material needed:
| Item |
For the full 82-tower aqueduct system |
Single path to CS
|
| Raeli Tiles |
331,000 - 207 days |
310,000 - 194 days
|
| Treated Boards
|
50,000 - 100 batches, no estimate.
|
| Marbles
|
300 - 21 quarries, no estimate.
|
| Bricks
|
575,000 - 44.4 Greenhouse-days, 53.2 Brick Machine-days |
353,000 - 27.2 Greenhouse-days, 32.7 Brick Machine-days
|
| Concrete
|
34,640 - 770 Medium Stone, 139 Concrete batches |
24,920 - 554 Medium Stone, 100 Concrete batches
|
| Cut Stone
|
12,369 - 25.8 Rock Saw-days, 8.6 dig-days |
8210 - 17.1 Rock Saw-days, 5.7 dig-days
|
| Pipe Segments
|
573 - 95.5 Vault Kiln-days |
341 - 56.8 Vault Kiln-days
|
- Assumes bricks are kept in machines until needed and
- Raeli tiles are transported to site as they become available.
Note that the building-day is 100% utilization of a single machine for a full day and that a dig-day corresponds to the share of work done by one person in a group. Machines are rarely so well used, so that an individual person usually creates only a fraction of a building-day during any given RL day. Also, the machines used for our purpose will likely be used for other needs as well.
Goal Estimates
Using an arbitrarily chosen, ambitious goal of 100 RL days to complete an aqueduct, we have the following needs:
- 11 Raeli Ovens - 1 of each specific color, 6 of any color.
- 500 Treated boards/day - 1 batch/day.
- 3 Marble/day - 1 quarry emptied every 5 days.
- 5,750 Bricks/day - 20 Brick Machine runs/day, 20 Greenhouse harvests/day.
- 346 Concrete/day - 1-2 batch/day.
- 6-person dig every 4 days with all Cuttable Stone going to project.
- 5.7 Pipe Segments/day.
- 4 Cistern every 5 days.
- Full Small Warehouse every 5-6 days.
Raeli ovens and brick machines do not need ongoing effort to sustain output. Once the infrastructure is in place, the bottlenecks will be the concrete, cut stone, marble and possibly treated boards.
