Liquid Pump

Overview

The Liquid Pump is a building that delivers liquid through the piping network by providing a liquid output that can be connected to other buildings' liquid inputs. When the Liquid Pump's liquid outlet is connected via pipes to the liquid inlet of another structure, liquid is transferred from the pump into that structure. This is the primary method by which liquids are routed from a pump to downstream equipment or storage spaces.

Piping must form a continuous connection between the pump's output port and the target building's input port for transfer to occur. Once the output is linked to an inlet on another building, the pump will send liquid along that connection into the receiving building. The action of routing liquid is achieved by the physical pipe connection: the pump’s outlet and the destination’s inlet are the two endpoints that determine where the liquid flows.

Because the Liquid Pump provides a dedicated liquid output port, it is intended to be integrated into the base’s liquid piping architecture. The pump’s output can be directed to any building that accepts liquid via a piped inlet; establishing that direct pipe link results in liquid delivery to that building. This mechanism applies regardless of language or client localization: piping the pump output to a building input causes the pump to send liquid to that building.

Practical considerations when using the Liquid Pump:

  • Ensure a continuous pipe run connects the pump’s liquid outlet to the receiving building’s liquid inlet.
  • Verify you are connecting the pump’s liquid output (not other ports) to the target building’s liquid intake; only that specific connection routes liquid into the receiving structure.
  • The direction of flow is determined by the connection between the pump’s outlet and the target’s inlet: connecting those two ports initiates liquid transfer.
