Harmony Ridge route
This is essentially the T3 route described on this page on the T3 wiki, re-surveyed for T4. I moved tower #11 to a slightly better spot.
Placing the first 20 towers along this route, and accounting for the minimum height needed to clear the ridge, we end up with the pump at height 355 and the last tower at height 54. The towers can later be raised to accommodate further expansion, but the bulk of the hard work is done at the start.
(Warning: the below figures are highly speculative and don't match T3 numbers. Can't verify them until the pump is up. Chat me for an explanation)
Tower raising costs (raise towers by 1560 feet total):
| Material | T4 est | T3 | SAWW estimate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bricks | 106,000 | 106,000 | 92,000 |
| Concrete | 3,120 | 3,120 | 4,100 - 2,000 tower construction cost |
| Cut Stone | 2,335 | 2,345 | 1,580 |
| Pipe Segments | 94 | 108 | 130 |
Pump raising costs (upgrade from height=100 to height=355)
| Material | T4 est | T3 | SAWW estimate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bricks | 116,025 | 116,025 | 30,000 |
| Concrete | 5,801 | 5,801 | 1,500 |
| Cut Stone | 1,802 | 1,789 | 502 |
| Pipe Segments | 25 | 26 | 10 |
| Gearboxes | 51 | 51 | 20 |
Totals (including SAWW's above+beyond):
| Material | T4 est | T3 | SAWW |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bricks | 222,025 | 222,025 | 227,000 |
| Concrete | 8,921 | 8,921 | 6,600 |
| Cut Stone | 4,137 | 4,134 | 5,082 |
| Pipe Segments | 119 | 134 | 180 |
| Gearboxes | 51 | 51 | 20 |
| (large gears) | 10 | 10 | 5 |
| (medium gears) | 306 | 306 | 120 |
| (small gears) | 510 | 510 | 200 |
NB: if the pump can be raised by 100 feet per upgrade, does that mean we get 20 gearboxes at a time?
Interesting heights:
- Pump height of 100 allows the first tower to be built
- Pump height of 154 allows the first 2 towers to be built
- Pump height of 214 allows the first 4 towers to be built
- Pump height of 244 allows the first 5 towers to be built
- Pump height of 266 allows the first 9 towers to be built
- Pump height of 284 allows the first 10 towers to be built
- Pump height of 330 allows the first 11 towers to be built
- Pump height of 355 allows all 20 towers to be built
