Asteroid Pump
Overview
Asteroid Pump is a building unlocked with the Fluids & Painting milestone and is used to extract Fluids from Fluid Asteroids. Asteroid Pumps must be placed above Fluid Asteroids on the bottom platform level. Each Asteroid Pump costs 2 Platform Capacity and, by default, provides four extraction points for Fluids. Additional extraction points are unlocked by connecting Pump Boosters to the Asteroid Pump.
Pump Boosters must be placed on a Fluid Asteroid and oriented to point at an Asteroid Pump or another Pump Booster. Up to three Miner Booster platforms may be connected to an Asteroid Pump or chained to connect to an Asteroid Pump; each additional Pump Booster provides four additional 
The Asteroid Pump includes a small amount of building space on the platform above the asteroid. The back border of the pump occupies half the chunk, the two side borders are four tiles wide, and the front border features a Notch with the standard three-tile gap to the edge. The pump’s available building space measures 12x7 (84 tiles) in total. Sixteen of the first machine level tiles within that area are designated as available spots for Mini Pumps, although any Machine can be placed on those tiles.
- Placement: must sit on the bottom platform level above a Fluid Asteroid.
- Unlock: available after achieving the Fluids & Painting milestone.
- Platform cost: Asteroid Pump = 2 Platform Capacity; Pump Booster = 1 Platform Capacity.
- Extraction capacity: base 4 extraction points; each connected Pump Booster adds 4 extraction points, up to 16 total.
- Pump Booster rules: must point to an Asteroid Pump or another Pump Booster; up to three booster platforms may be connected or chained to an Asteroid Pump.
- Building area: 12x7 tiles (84 tiles) with 16 first-machine-level tiles usable for Mini Pumps or other Machines; back border uses half a chunk, side borders 4 tiles wide, and front border has the usual 3-tile notch gap.
