Camel MazayenWater and fodder: how to plan your time away from the camp
A simple calculation that keeps your camels from weakness.
How much does a camel use?
Each camel drinks 75 litres of water and eats one unit of fodder each hour, automatically from your tanks, also while you are away.
The calculation
Camels × hours away × 75 = litres of water. Camels × hours away = units of fodder.
| Camels | Time away | Water | Fodder |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 | 8 hours | 3000 litres | 40 |
| 10 | 8 hours | 6000 litres | 80 |
| 10 | 12 hours | 9000 litres | 120 |
When a tank runs dry
The active camels become weak: about 5% for each dry hour, up to 50% for a long absence. Watch the two bars at the top of the screen.
Recovery
A weak camel recovers alone when water and fodder stay available for about 12 hours. Or you treat her at once with treatment supplements from her card. The tanks must also hold one hour of ration for her (75 litres of water and one unit of fodder).
How do I fill the tanks?
From "Camel supplies" in the village: a water tanker of the size you want (small, medium, large, trailer), and fodder in the quantity you want.
Make the tanks larger
If your tank is not enough for a full night, upgrade the water tank and the fodder tank. Capacity sets how long you can be away. See The camp and resources.
Birth speed-ups use extra water and fodder with each use. Include them if you speed up often.
