Thread: High Efficiency Moisture Vaporator
A few more questions:
1) What distinguishes it from a personal moisture vaporator?
2) How much does it typically cost, both relative at cost and market price?
3) What do you need in order to make it?
4) Why don't I see any?
I appreciate you reading and possibly adding your knowledge below.
Howdy,
Moisture Vaporators harvest the water resource, I believe.
Each harvester has three types available-- a personal version, which harvests the least,costs the least and takes the least lots, a medium version which I believe either doubles or quadruples all the above things (output, costs, lots) and a heavy version, which has a prohibitive cost and harvests much more than the personal.
All personal harvesters can be made by an Artisan; all other types of harvesters above the personal level are made by Architects, and require very large amounts of various resources to create.
As to why you don't see any large moisture harvesters: First, water isn't a very popular resource; most people jump on the mineral band wagon. Also, some of the higher end harvesters have been bugged so that architects couldn't make them until a patch or two ago. The moisture vaporizers might still be bugged, or are just being produced now.
All harvesters take one lot each, regardless of size. Their cost and power requirements go up but so does their efficiency. The only except to this are the three power harvesters: Wind, Solar and Fusion. These all take up one lot each and cost the exact same maintenance: approx. 1500 credits per day. The fusion however is hugely efficient with it's 13 kg/hour gathering speed.
The only harvesters that were bugged for Architects were medium Flora and large Flora. There was a component that could not be made until a recent patch.
About how much should these medium and heavy water extractors run?
