Late game water manage
I have more or less no more water spots on my map. Only a few left with under 10.000 And i guess i will use them up in 20 sols or something like that.

Anyway, how are we suppose to manage water for our colony late game ?
I have the green planet expansion, so are there an solution to that problem in this, or do i need to spam my map with water vaporators ?

Spam water vaporators, whether you have Green Planet or not.
Green Planet just makes it easier to cover your water needs with vaporators, because terraforming also increases production on the vaporators.
Also consider building water reclamation systems in domes that use a lot of water (-> farms), and try to get the tech that halves water usage on all domes.

Late game water? You mean you don't make Water Vaporators from Sol 1?
I can't remember the last time I actually made a Water Extractor on a water deposit.

Well i guess i will try the mod. Sadly i just dont understand why there is no such wonder in the game already, a MASTER vaporator or something, since we have all other resources as a wonder extractor type.

If you have the green DLC I dont see how water is a problem... When you begin to terraform aka add water and atmosphere to the planet you slowly increase the effiency of vaporators... I have more water than I know what to do with even before I finished terraforming. Use vaporators... Build fields of them... Not really that much of an issue. And begin to terraform atmosphere as much as possible alongside amount of water... As it increased on the planet the more you get from vaporators increase as well... I just gets easier and easier the more you terraform.

I have litterally spammed lakes all over for decorative reasons and I stil produce more water than I know what to do with...

Well i have never played with vaporators, mostly because i have done mysteries, and when those were done i started i new colony. So it has first been with this new DLC that i have played for more than 150 sols.

At the moment they give out 1.9. And now that you mention it, i had no info that the terraforming helps. But it sure says 41% boost :-D
So maybe i am not doomed and will surely start to make some fiels of those :-)

it does the job and you have to build it like a wonder so it's not entirely cheating you still have to work to build it.

Maybe its because your putting them too close together?

oh no they work as they should. I did just not know that they got a boost from the terraforming. So all is good :-D

Of course. I never start the game without at least 1 vaporator and 1 fuel factory. The second rocket also always has 1 vaporator and 1 fuel factory.
From then on I buy more vaporators as needed.

What I do is supplement my vaporator supply with extractors, and have a couple turned off ICE. Buying vaporafors every time seems like a waste of rocket fuel and time
