OPERATIONS MANUAL
The city's water is your responsibility.
Vallis Aquarum is a historically inspired fictional engineering reconstruction, not a replica of any one ancient settlement. Watch gravity move water from the mountain catchment through aqueducts, header cisterns, municipal basins, workshops, mills and the drainage gallery.
- Orbit: drag on the 3D view; mouse wheel zooms; right-drag pans.
- Navigate: WASD or arrow keys; Shift increases travel speed.
- Operate: choose a conduit and adjust the opening of its sluice.
- Investigate: use Explore to jump between landmarks and the underground tunnel.
- Observe: simulation time 1× advances 30 in-world seconds per real-world second.
Hydraulics are deliberately simplified and intended for an interactive historical exhibit, not for engineering design decisions.
