Fluid Dump

The Fluid Dump is a building that disposes of liquid resources by continuously releasing them into the world at a fixed outlet. It occupies two blocks vertically and two blocks horizontally: one vertical block contains the shed with the worker and the Goods slot, and the adjacent vertical block contains the outlet that discharges fluids. Because the outlet dumps into the block next to it, the terrain below that outlet must be at least one block lower than the Fluid Dump base so the outlet has space to release fluids.

Haulers or the assigned worker must supply the Fluid Dump with the appropriate Goods. Workers collect those Goods from Pumps or Tanks and carry them into the Fluid Dump for disposal. When a Fluid Dump is placed so its outlet empties onto dry ground, the water that accumulates in the block below the outlet irrigates that tile. This irrigation turns previously dry, barren ground into fertile, tillable land, making Fluid Dumps a practical alternative irrigation source in areas where canals or other irrigation infrastructure cannot easily reach.

A Fluid Dump does not dump indefinitely: it will stop releasing fluid once the fluid level in the block directly below the outlet reaches about 0.5 m. This behavior allows controlled filling of the target tile without completely submerging it, and it can be used deliberately to convert single tiles to irrigated farmland or to maintain shallow water levels for aesthetic or logistical reasons.

• Placement requires a one-block drop at the outlet; ensure terrain is lowered or place the outlet adjacent to a lower tile.
• Supply the Dump by connecting Pumps or Tanks in the supply chain and ensure haulers or the worker have access routes.
• Use Fluid Dumps to irrigate isolated tiles or small patches where building canals is impractical; they are especially useful for creating fertile tiles on uneven terrain.
• Monitor the receiving tile’s fluid level: the Dump ceases flow at approximately 0.5 m, so multiple Dumps or additional placement may be needed to reach deeper water levels.
