Pipeline Pump

ExperimentalThe Pipeline Pump is a building used to increase Pipeline pressure. It is directional, which is denoted with two arrows in its blueprint and also on the structure itself. It can be either built separately or attach to an already built Pipeline.

Pressure

 * Fluids have pressure that dictates how far upwards they can travel in Pipelines. A one meter rise requires one unit of pressure.
 * A Water Extractor will provide 10 pressure by default. Pipeline Pumps set the fluid pressure of its current point to 20, allowing for a 20 meter rise. Note that the applied pressure is not accumulative, it is therefore advised to space out the pumps evenly if the rise exceeds 20 m.
 * Fluids will also stop flowing horizontally after approximately 450 m, where a Pipeline Pump is required as well.
