Cantr II Quiz

[Chris Johnson]

EDIT: You can't - tea recepies require crushed tea leaves - the raw resource is tea leaves, and there's no way to crush them...

You can - a drying rack allows you to dry them
A mortar and pestle is used to crush the dried tea leaves


All available in game

[Dreamhand]

*laughs* So Cantrians are... marsupials?????

That's as good an explaination as any for how naked characters carry so much stuff... but may lead to some interesting role-play.

The water pump actually works out cheaper in iron terms than the well - so the minimum possible total (in a fictional Cantr world - a fiction of a fiction - where rbonze can possibly be produced) would be 955g

Ok, not going to squabble too much over iron conversion rates, but this is pretty close to what I had:

Using a well comes out as 1050 iron needed for one cup of tea, so the less good option.

Using a water pump involves:
40 - for wooden trowel needed to make oven
200 - for shovel needed to make water pump
60 - for screwdriver needed to make water pump
150 - for wrench needed to make water pump
675g steel = 405g iron - 75 for wrench and 600 for water pump itself

Total = 40+200+60+150+405 = 855 iron for one cup of tea.

I think fkahf got 460 instead of 360 iron needed for the water pump's steel, but for the sake of a typo, I'm giving you the prize for that one.

Makes me thank the world for the ease with which I can make a cup of tea in RL!

Glad to see also that I guessed the right tool to use to crush my leaves If I ever had any...

Your turn for a question then, fkahf...

In total, thorughout all of Cantr, all language groups, every character, ever.

How much bronze is there currently in-game? How much has ever been smelted in total?

[mcclone]

Zero.

What is the maximum amount of people who can participate in Baking Bread in a Coal Oven?

[Sicofonte]

778 g. iron?

Not far off.
I didn't get the same conversion as you from Steel to Iron. You say 675g steel in total which I agree with, but I didn't make this equal to the 368 iron you calculated. Not sure which one of us is wrong though.
Otherwise, there is, I believe, one other item required that you've not mentioned...

psymann

I assumed to use the more efficient way to make steel: with propane.

With 525 g. of iron you can make 963 g. steel. So 675x525/963=367.99065...
675 g. steel needs 368 g. iron.

But.... now I realize that the use of propane implies more iron... 200 g. iron for the gas purifier. Then the final account would raise to 1028 g. iron (plus the forgotten trowel for the oven).

Aha, I see now.

Either way, a lot of work for a cuppa

What is the maximum amount of people who can participate in Baking Bread in a Coal Oven?

It is an automatic function, so it doesn't take anyone to cook.


Question: If you can't drag someone, what can you do to them to make it where you can?

[in vitro...]

whack'em! make it starving! slay it and drag the body. eat potatoes and tomatoes (to keep yourself healthy and well fed) go to gym (or practice fighting)

Correct! Your turn.

Elros, man, you read too fast. The question was about the maximum, not the minimum. As far as I know, automatic projects admit workers to accelerate the process.

Question: If you can't drag someone, what can you do to them to make it where you can?

Excuse me, but my English is no enough to understand that: to make it where you can... what does it mean, please?

[in vitro...]

how much iron can you make in one day if you only got: a smelting furnace, a stone table, a stone hammer, a shovel, a kiln, a peaceful forrest and magnetite ore, hematite ore and limestone deposits?

[Chris Johnson]

As far as I know, automatic projects admit workers to accelerate the process.

But not any of the bread baking projects - There are 3 types of projects in Cantr :

1. Normal manual ones which progress only when a character with the correct tools workd on it
2. Automatic projects which characters cannot join, these progress over time automatically
3. Automatic projects which can be joined by characters which results in the rate of progress increasing

All the bread baking projects are of the 2nd type so the maximum number of workers is zero.

Currently there are no projects of the 3rd type in game

None

As you say the only resources available are magnetite, hematite and limestone so there is no wood to make charcoal or coal or gas (which couldn't be refined anyway) available for the smelting furnace.

[SekoETC]

I think by forest it's assumed that there is wood. I only know of one forest without. And by deposits, I assume there's endless amounts of those things already in storage so the production process doesn't include acquiring them. All you need to do is gather wood, turn it into charcoal at the kiln, crush either hematite or magnetite and then refine. Or if there's both hematite and magnetite present but not in storage, you should decide which one is more profitable for mining. The shovel would be for gathering limestone but if my assumption is true, limestone has been gathered prior to the experiment starting so the shovel is not needed.
