Pumps

Inlet and Outlet Pumps are mechanisms used to transport liquids (water, lava, and honey), without having to construct pathways through blocks or rely on gravity. Instead, an Inlet and Outlet Pump need only be connected to each other with Wires and activated, which transfers fluid from the Inlet to the Outlet. Each activation transfers up to four tiles of liquid. For continuous automated pumping, a timer can be used.

Despite its appearance as a pipe that takes in liquid from beside it, an Inlet Pump must be submerged in liquid, as it removes liquid that lies directly over its graphic, and does so equally from all of its 2×2 tile space. Similarly, an Outlet Pump spawns liquid directly over its graphic, and does so equally over all of its 2×2 tile space.

Tips

 * Fishing ponds are easy to set up using two pumps connected to a timer; an Inlet Pump at the bottom and a Outlet Pump at the top. Due to the Outlet Pump's increased production, the pond will fill up over time.

Trivia

 * Both pumps' tooltips wrongly describe that they are used to send or receive only water, whereas they send and receive any liquid.
