Concrete plant and water quality... Build menu info says "55% water quality"....

, but finished building requires 100% quality for production.

Hi,

this here is a little mismatching information.... Is it really intended that the concrete plant needs 100% quality for production ?

I find that a bit over complicated when you try to build a new settlement and becoming self sufficient, i have to build a complete water treatment cylce first, which requires workers, which requires all the stuff workers need.

So, which of the two values is the wrong one ? :)

Are you talking of some modded building? Where does it says "any" quality? Can you share the screenshot?

Vanilla concrete plants require 55% quality *for producing concrete*. That's displayed in a building card, This water is supplied through a pipe inlet that the plant has.

Since the plant has workers, it *also* requires small quantities of *drinking water*, like any other buiilding where people are present. This water can be supplied by a water substation or water trucks. The quality, quite obviously, preferrably should be high (above 97% at least).

Ah sorry, it didn't say "any quality", it says "55 % quality" like you wrote.... Also it's not a modded building, it's the only concrete plant available in the list. But the finished constructed plant tells me it want's 100% water quality... I always provided it without asking, but this time I try a hard start in the middle of the map, and it's quite a huzzle so far (without using flying units which I try not to).

It says so below in the "water tank import" section .

That is actually supposed to provide an information on the *actual* water quality in the plant's tank, not the *required* quality. When you provide some water to the tank, it will display its actual quality (55, 80, whatever). When the tank is empty, well, it displays 100%. Not the best solution, but it's not the requirement.

EDIT: There's a separate line, iirc, just above that which explicitly states: "Required water quality: 55%") when the building is done.

Ah, thanks.... I never noticed that, since I automatically applied the 100%.... could have made things easier in the past :)
