Water Wheel

Post by eafkcv »

A water wheel is a machine for converting the energy of flowing or falling water into useful forms of power, often in a watermill. It was likely the first method of mechanical energy developed to replace the work of humans and animals. In Roman times, the wheels were used for crop irrigation and grinding grains, as well as to supply drinking water to villages. In later years, they drove sawmills, pumps, forge bellows, tilt-hammers, and trip hammers, and even powered textile mills.

When beside a producing building, can research the (non upgrade) techs researchable by that building. Only 1 buildable per building.

I see, so it has to be built on a water tile of some sort? Really like the idea of having the same techs the original building has. I hope tis possible.

Not possible in the current engine.
And too powerful if it were. It's a proposition for doubling production (up until everything is researched).

The only way to affect production is SYSTEM_SPECIAL_EFFECT_PROD_SPEEDUP (e.g. money courier ability).
