Stream Gauge

The Stream Gauge is a
building in Timberborn, designed for both the
Folktails and
Iron Teeth factions, facilitating advanced water management strategies. It measures not only the depth and flow of
Fluids but, following Update 5, also the contamination levels of
badwater, displaying it in percentage.
Functionality
The Stream Gauge now offers a comprehensive overview by providing the following information:
- Depth: The current level of water depth at the gauge's location, in meters.
- Greatest depth: The maximum water level recorded by the gauge, in meters.
- Current: The speed of the water current in cubic meters per second (cms).
- Contamination: The percentage of badwater contamination in the water.
Tips
- Water current can be roughly eyeballed for the purpose of placing water wheels, but having precise numbers can help calculate exactly how much
horsepower can be pulled out of any given point on a river (though, of course, a waterwheel cannot be placed at the exact same spot as a depth marker).
- Water depth is useful for keeping track of how much water is in reservoirs, and tracking maximum flooding heights for designing
Levees and
Dams.
