Question, aside from time factor why didn't Lloyd make a modern way of sewage/plumbing? Was there a different skill that he needed?
well, thing is, modern plumbing is like. really hard to make. we take it for granted but it's,,, a lot of work lol
lloyd did want to implement it but it would've taken him years and a lot of money to do it, things he simply could not afford
It'd have been nice if I could build a modern sewage system in each household where they can directly throw their waste. But he didn't have the technology to do so and lacked money, time and labor. A bitter smile appeared on Lloyd's face as he looked at the ongoing construction. To be honest, he wanted to create a modern sewage system, just like the one in South Korea, if he could. It would allow the water used at homes to pass through the sewers and the people to flush their toilets. Clean and sleek. Lloyd wanted to devise a method wherein people could deal with the waste without extra effort or care. But that's impossible here. To construct a modern sewage system, Lloyd had to connect the residential facility with underground pipes. But the current situation made it impossible for him to do so. Soon, the freezing winter would turn the Prona River into a giant block of ice. The accumulated bodily waste there signaled a large-scale epidemic. So, the sewers had to be constructed before the plague, leaving Lloyd no time to build and connect houses with pipes. He would need at least several years to perfect such a thorough system.
again! modern plumbing is a bit of a marvel of engineering! implementing it in a fantasy world without any of the technological advantages of the modern world would've been pretty hard! and lloyd is not even a civil engineer, he was just studying to become one! the fact he managed to build a sewage system that worked as well as it did in such a relatively short amount of time is already goddamn amazing.
perhaps later on, when he had plenty of free time and money to get bored with just lazing around, maybe he got sufficiently annoyed with not having running water in his house and decided to do something about it! but we have no way of knowing about it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
