Water need by the NFA formula, with 25% of the building involved. Homes and apartment buildings with no recorded height are counted as 2 floors; your officers can set heights in setup.

Shuttle loop times and rig counts are worked out card by card, from your tankers or tenders, your fill sites and your roads, once your officers enter them in setup.

Your stations.

Each card routes from the station that is first due, so the way in matches how your rigs come. Add or fix stations in setup.
