Talk:Pumps

How are they connected? Using wires? Yes^

Can't pump great distances?

Distance Limitations
Should we include a note in this article about the maximum distance over which liquids can be pumped? I've searched forums, and it seems that the maximum distance (measured by the wire laid down to connect the pumps) is 1000 blocks (2000 feet). I think this information is relevant to the article, and ought to be included. Thoughts? Threid 21:27, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Exactly 1000? As in, it works at 1000, and doesn't at 1001?  If you have data that precise, then, by all means!  --Theothersteve7 21:37, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
 * After further research, it looks like it might be too early to give an exact length with any certainty. However, these forum threads seem to point to a maximum distance that's dependent on the number of wires in the connection, and 2000 feet (1000 blocks) is the number getting thrown around most often, probably because it's nice and round. In any case, I'm not sure that this information belongs here, or on the wiring page, so I'll leave it as-is for now. Threid 22:00, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

Infinite fluid generation
I removed the following contribution by 86.218.22.26 re. connecting two outlets to one inlet, pending additional verification: "It also seems that this system can make infinite fluid generation quicker (should be verified)." Chibs84 20:01, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
