HydroForma Projects

The next Scientific Projects introduces HydroForma Corp., the cutting-edge frontier of aquatic ingenuity where rivers obey and terrain trembles. This isn't Ol' Kazko's creaky contraptions from a bygone cycle. This is next-gen hydro-engineering, trademarked, patented, and impossibly shiny! Brand new projects innovations™️ - Pressure Gate Module: Allows Dams to be manually closed completely, stopping all water flow. - Power Conduction Core (the science cost is 9001 though the UI shows 9. 0k): Enables Levees to transmit Power between structures. For reasons that can only be described as a universe-level meme, this project cost exactly over 9000 science effort. - Auto-Regulator Unit: Floodgates automatically adjust height in response to weather conditions. - Source-Level Sensor: Sluices automatically open based on upstream water level. - R&D Sponsorship™ Package: Unlocks early access to upcoming upgrades. Effect to be revealed in the future. T&C apply. It is now Anti‑Grav™ Deck, see below. - BurrowBot™ System: Reduces the workforce required to operate Dirt Excavators to a single operator. - Deep Anchor Framework: Increases the number of unsupported Terrain Blocks that can be safely placed. - Substrata Stress Extender: Requires "Deep Anchor Framework". Further improves unsupported Terrain Block placement - now with extra plausible deniability. - Surface™ Access Coating: Allows paths to be built on top of Contamination and Irrigation Barriers - even if you can't see them. - DepthSense™ Array: Stream Gauges detect water depth all the way to the soil beneath their tile and can measure reservoir volume at a small science cost. Note: - Surface™ Access Coating (Irrigation/Contamination Barrier upgrade): You can't see the paths built under the barriers but they are there. Trust us, we tested it. - Source-Level Sensor (Sluice upgrade): Basically, your Sluice can already close when there is enough water downstream. However, this comes at the cost of water overflowing if you don’t
