Waste systems
Keith_w:
I've just finished the book, and was thinking that they use an awful lot of resources. Recycling is a fine first step for waste and water, but successful cloning in vats, as well as the manufacture of crystals and who knows what else requires much greater resources I am sure. They create steel weapons coated in copper and copper cannon. Since they do not utilize the surface of whatever planet they are on, where do the raw materials for them come from?

They have mines, that's a punishment for higher crimes.
kazimmoinuddin:
how do they mine? If they dig underneath the spire they reissue destabilizing it. How would they even locate new site if the surface is so deadly?
The waste systems are likely linked to the meat vatteries and the water gardens, that are likely in some form in each Habble. They must have some really advance hydroponics or at least a magical version.

Didn't they have caravans that go between the spires? It's dangerous but instant death. It's like walking through any wild place

I thought so too, but I looked back on that passage recently (for a similar conversation) and they'd only traveled a mile or so on the surface and were implying that they'd crashed an airship and been required to hike about a mile on the surface.
