Pumps

Post by CMH »

I'm confused about the pumps in Bob's Mods.

Can they be used as normal pumps? Are there bigger "normal" pumps available?

There are 9 new pumps in my mods, and they're all for a specific purpose. 4 are the MK1 to MK4 "Air compressor" pump, used to create compressed air for separating into oxygen and nitrogen, and also packing/unpacking other gasses. 4 are the water pump, currently used for creating water and lithia water, but that mechanic will be replaced with splotches, they're also used for packing/unpacking liquids in barrels and canisters. and finally, the gas venting pump, for destroying certain gasses.

There are currently no new higher tier "small pump" versions, but that's on my to do list.

Why?
People do it all the time in rl usually pumping water from water bed. Can't be done everywhere but it's not that difficult.

Thanks for the explanation.

Water from nowhere might be too easy, but if you don't want to use it you don't have to I suppose.

Bob himself posted a new (better) concept which i just applaude with my statement.

Yes, the original name of the entity, before it was also used to barrel fluids, was "Water Bore", and I think that's still what the internal name is. For those who don't know, a Water Bore is the name of said pump for piping ground water.

Also, although it is optional for water, you kinda need to do it for Lithia water, there is no alternative.
