In “The Quarry”, change
Every hour the amount of Stone in the Quarry decreases by 1, to a minimum of zero; whenever any Engineer or City Architect would perform any action that would cause the amount of Stone to change they must first update its value to reflect any reduction due to the passage of time.

Erosion is an atomic action that decreases the amount of Stone in the Quarry by 24. Whenever any Engineer or City Architect would perform any action that would cause the amount of Stone to change, they must first perform the Erosion atomic action if it has been more than 24 hours since the last Erosion.
Set the amount of Stone in the Quarry to 650.
This continuous decrease thing seems like more work than needed, really. I’m also worried that we’ll slowly drift off from the real value of Stone, so this also sets the amount of Stone in the Quarry to resolve any ambiguity.

The downside to this is that the original text required the Stone to decrease as other changes were made. Your replacement text says “may”, in which case all Engineers could choose to never perform the Daily Communal Action.
If that’s intention, that’s fine, but it would be good to know that you also meant to remove the enforcement aspect of decreasing Stone.
