Water Supply Guide

Water is the second confirmed utility input: official materials list it alongside energy and processing as a supply line every production building depends on. On Daegus it reads as an oasis world problem — tropical but with its own constraints — while Kourou hides its water in glaciers and steam fields, where superheated water erupts through the frozen surface.

The interesting design space is how each world sources water differently: an oasis like Daegus versus a glacier world like Kourou will not reward the same placement. Official copy about Kourou specifically calls out steam fields as where superheated water surfaces — expect sourcing water on frozen worlds to be a location puzzle, not a repeat of the tutorial.

Consumption rates, whether water infrastructure scales in tiers, and per-world sourcing mechanics beyond the two revealed planets are unconfirmed. Launch-week backfill will replace this section with verified numbers.
