How it works​

The Qixsilver Reservoir is a fuel chest for your Domain, attended by copper golem statues. Raise it inside a Domain you own by sneaking and right-clicking its waterlogged chest. The Qixsilver Reservoir awakens — lowest-Tier fuel will feed your Domain first.

Fill the chest with Tier blocks. Fuel-burning magic in the Domain then drinks from the Reservoir before its own fuel, including the Force Field, Tranquility Obelisk, Hearth, and Flight Field.

Priority​

Sneak and right-click the chest, or use a statue, to cycle its order:

ModeBehaviour
Lowest firstSpends the lowest-Tier blocks first.
Highest firstSpends the highest-Tier blocks first.
IdleFuel distribution pauses.

A plain click opens the chest. Only the Domain owner who raised the Reservoir may command it.

Copper​

As the Reservoir's copper weathers, each fuel block goes a little less far, up to 3 percent less when fully oxidized.

A chest that already holds a Wellspring cannot become a Reservoir.

Configuration​

These are the defaults in plugins/Runic/runes/qixsilverreservoir.yml. Every rune file also carries the shared settings described in Rune files.
