Thanks for feedback. Not sure yet about using 'litres' instead of 'liters'. American spelling seems most used in general on RoB wiki (not just for 'liters' case.). Support the 'Cauldron (with 5.0 liters)' idea. (intent to also use 'liter'''s'''' in 1.0 cases. Unless someone objects.) --[[User:MvGulik|MvGulik]] 17:21, 31 March 2012 (EDT) | Thanks for feedback.

Revision as of 14:48, 1 April 2012
infobox, water, liter
In case there are some other or additional thoughts on this.
General updated some "liters" to "liter" (unit indicator). Water value to general x.y format.
And added Water to 'Tea' and 'Bone Glue', as 'Wort' also has it. That last part is technically a 'Cauldron' with at least x.y amount of Water. (assuming its the water amount used in the production of a single unit.)

- About water requirements for tea/glue/wort i think it's better to leave them out or add them to cauldron section
|producedby= [[requires::cauldron]] (with 5.0 litres)
as we got plenty more objects requiring tiny amounts of water in cauldron like leather or mussels. Also at the same time we got objects that require both water in inventory and additional water in cauldron (Ring of Brodgar), so i would use the|objectsreq=[[requires::water]] (0.5 litre)
for those only. - On a minor note in english the word in litre/litres, in american it's liter/liters; I personaly prefere english since it's proper one when american is more of a dialect. --Rook 07:25, 31 March 2012 (EDT)
