Automated Pump

Needs torque power. Have 3 outputs for connecting pipes, sprinklers, a drinking well, a water canon or a tap. You can even connect a Sedimentation machine directly to the pump if you place the sedimentator 1 tile below the pump.

Here are a couple of rules for how pumping of water works:

  • Water needs pressure to flow through pipes, sprinkler or taps
  • The pressure is created by pumps and also objects that show water height in the object info window
  • The number of the height tells to what maximum height can be water distributed by this object
  • For example Deep Water Pump shows heigh 31 which means that water can be pushed up to 31 tiles above
  • The length of just pipe network (without any objects like containers, taps, sprinklers) in the same level doesn't affect the amount of pressure needed nor the speed of distribution
  • Flow pump helps to make the pressure higher
  • If you have a Deep water pump with the height 31 linearly connected to pipes, the water can pushed up to 31 tiles above
  • But if you put into such linear network any other object than a pipe it would reset the pressure made by the pump and have the new pressure of this precise object
  • Then you need to build the Flow pump at the output of such object to make the pressure higher again if neccessary
