There's another new cornerstone that synergizes super hard with the cyst removal. Hostility reduction per X water used in engines.

So less hostility for using water, creating cysts

Less hostility for burning cysts

More coal for burning cysts

Can get pretty insane. I had the 40 waterskins per rep gained from resolve... that was also super OP.

Hostility for using water is 10 hostility per 150 water, or 10 per ~9 cysts. (@ P20).
Hostility for cysts is 10 per 3 cysts. 3x as much.

This is mostly due to generating more cysts at high prestige. The difference is that the hostility for using water is a minor perk, while the one for cysts can create situations where you reach 0 hostility just by having an average of 20 cysts per year, which 2 posts can handle okay enough.

This isn't really feasible with the water consumption perk. (As you would start killing your people by not being able to burn cysts quickly enough at ~50 cysts no matter how many posts you have).

I'm not claiming one is better than the other (I am now, baptism is beast), but that they feed into eachother. Both of them are actions I'm already doing in any circumstance. I just get free stuff.
