I have some questions regarding characters looking into Karteria&#039;s electricity supply. If Dorothea and Yesod approach Karterian engineers together to ask about the grid, how much would they be able to find out in terms of the power stations&#039; inner workings/primary energy source(s) used, as well as the costs of connecting and running the greenhouse? How much related information can be found in the city&#039;s libraries?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Alternatively, would it be possible for them to obtain newer generators and confirm that these aren&#039;t Katalyth-powered, or if all else fails, could they access enough of the resources needed to modify/build their own equipment, similar to the Science Cabin and Bridge Project efforts?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;For more context, they&#039;re hoping to secure Katalyth-free ways to power systems installed in the greenhouse, which might be supplemented as much as possible with independent methods. Thank you for your time!<br /> |DateAnswered=2026-02-06<br /> |AnswerText=&lt;p&gt;&lt;small&gt;can&#039;t believe how little i knew about power grids... whew.&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;ul&gt;<br /> &lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;They would be willing to answer questions, if gruffly! They&#039;re busy! But Karteria uses a sort of magical hydroelectric plant to power its city alone, the plant itself not at all far from the city and still reachable (if with a bit of a dangerous walk to get there) by citizens. The way it&#039;s magical is that it doesn&#039;t work like a dam, but rather uses water from the ocean to direct its flow and to propel a turbine, which generates energy. The water is then spit out. From Water&#039;s Edge, you wouldn&#039;t quite see the result of the power plant... but traversing a bit southwest along the coast, not far from the city, the input and output of water can be seen from the shoreline, the plant itself built into the craggy earth.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Concerns about Katalyth powering the city alone? Well, rest assured that they had power &lt;i&gt;before&lt;/i&gt; Katalyth cropped up in Karteria, thanks! Though its existence... as certainly helped reduce the strain on the current powerplant, and engineers are aware that Katalyth is used &lt;i&gt;outside&lt;/i&gt; of the city in backup generators to help keep the city&#039;s dazzling lights, dazzling.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;The costs of connecting and running the greenhouse would be far higher without Katalyth as a backup way to generate energy. Power would likely need to be rationed... There would need to be shut-off times for the city, and capitalism doesn&#039;t sleep! Thus, tapping into Karteria&#039;s power supply to run the greenhouse is feasible.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt; <br /> &lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Is it possible to obtain generators and confirm they&#039;re not Katalyth-powered? It might be a project, to create a generator that relies on... other sources of energy. Coal, water, sunlight... But no such generators currently exist, as all generators that &lt;i&gt;did&lt;/i&gt; exist were Katalyth-operated, much like how vehicles were operated by way of Katalyth. It&#039;s a very powerful and plentiful mineral, and it&#039;s hard to ignore its potential uses when your world is otherwise doomed.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Perhaps the folks at the Science Cabin might be able to hook up Dorothea and Yesod to the notion of &lt;i&gt;imprints&lt;/i&gt; creating usable energy... Imagine it: a greenhouse... fueled by love. (how practical this is is another story.)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;<br /> &lt;/ul&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;It&#039;s a worthy cause... And frankly, avoiding Katalyth wherever possible is a wise choice, even though Karteria&#039;s way of living right now is just &lt;i&gt;not possible&lt;/i&gt; without the use of Katalyth as a power source. It harms them, it helps them... but the Augmented have a greater choice in the matter, to spurn it where they can. (Aside from the necessity of hiding in the barrier, which is fueled by Katalyth...! What a world.)&lt;/p&gt;<br /> }}</div>
