Pipeline Pump

The Pipeline Pump  is a building used to increase Pipeline pressure (= apply head lift). It is directional, which is denoted with two arrows in its blueprint and also on the structure itself.

Placement
Pipeline Pumps can be built on:
 * existing Pipelines, similar to how Splitters snap to Conveyor Belts
 * Foundations for precise placement, it can be rotated in 90-degree intervals horizontally
 * Walls for precise placement, it can be rotated in 45-degree intervals vertically

Head lift
The Pipeline Pump has a recommended head lift of 20 meters, but an actual provided head lift of 22 meters (as indicated by the orange area in the UI). Therefore, Pumps can be safely spaced out in 22-meter intervals, measured vertically, center-to-center.

The head lift is measured somewhere near the center point of the pipe inlet (2 meters towards the rear, from the center point of the pump).
 * If the Pipeline Pump is built horizontally, its head lift is measured at 2 meters above the Foundation level it is built on.
 * If the Pipeline Pump is built vertically and upwards, its head lift is measured at 2 meters below its center point.

Flow direction
As mentioned, Pipeline Pumps have a direction, as indicated by the arrows on their building hologram. Fluids can only pass through in this direction.
 * While powered, head lift is applied as explained above. Fluids are output at the same rate as they're being received.
 * While unpowered, head lift is reset to 0. The Pump acts an one-way valve, as it still prevents fluids from flowing backwards.

History

 * Patch 0.3.6:
 * Now can be rotated before placement
 * Added visual feedback to help placing for optimal head lift distribution and automatic snapping to this indication
 * Patch 0.3.3.0: Added audio feedback when head lift exceeds the maximum
 * Patch 0.3.1.0:
 * Can now be placed on Walls and Foundations
 * Fixed a typo in the UI
 * Patch 0.3: Introduced
