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.
• Convenient Water - No need to run to the river or a lake or pond if there is a tower nearby.

And.... there is Principles and a Level :)

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.

Construction costs: 42500 bricks 650 boards 2 Cable 51 canvas 1 cistern 2100 concrete - 42 Medium Stones Turned to Gravel plus Cement 5 Copper Pipe 52 copper wire 1000 Cut Stone 5 Grey Star marble 100 Iron - In case the gearboxes need a large gear 60 Leather 30 Medium Gears 6 Moon Steel Sheeting 5 Night Granite 5 Oyster Shell marble 12 Pipe Segment 4 rope 60 Small Gears 40 steel wire 50 straw 60 tar 5200 Raeli Tiles:black 5100 Raeli Tiles:white 50 Raeli Tiles:bluish 3050 Raeli Tiles:greenish 3000 Raeli Tiles:pinkish 50 Raeli Tiles:reddish 3050 Raeli Tiles:yellowish 10000 Raeli Tiles:any color tiles 2500 Rotproof Rigid Nontoxic boards Cost of Raising the Pump

   *  80,000 Bricks
   * 4,000 Concrete
   * 1,269 Cut Stone
   * 20 Pipe Segments
   * --/10 Specific Gearboxes
         o 40/40 Medium Gears (estimated cost, probably less if gearboxes are 1 output gearboxes)
         o 100/100 Small Gears (estimated cost, probably less if gearboxes are 1 output gearboxes) 

A few High Contributor Questions... What happens if we have less than 20 High Contributors We can redo the math and divide the amount by the lesser number of High Contributors. What happens if we have more than 20 High Contributors If more than 20 people actually sign up and fully contribute the full share, we can rebate back equally to each person the extra fixed cost materials (items like the marble) after the pump is up. All of the full contributed people would have equal opportunity in the lottery. A High Contributor who has not fully contributed and is seriously short can be placed in the build order between the High and the Medium Contributors We are not going to block some from the lottery if they are close to fully contributing and will trust that they will finish contributing as soon as they can.' This basically is the cost of Pump station.

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