Pump



The pump is a machine used to move fluids automatically. It has an input side opposite an output side, and can be rotated by right-clicking it with a screwdriver. It also acts like a fluid cable; it is possible to pump fluid using another pump through it (or, for example, a nuclear reactor or a chemical reactor, when refilling its capsules, will pull fluid straight through a pump, without it needing any redstone signal).

Upon receiving a redstone signal, the pump takes 1000 units of fluid from its input side, and pushes it to its output side; if that fluid is not accepted (e.g. doesn't fit in barrels), it will be pushed back to the input; if the input in turn cannot accept it, it is deleted.

The input side is marked with a circle, while the output side is a square.

Since MaddTech 1.1, it is also possible to set exactly which fluid should be pumped (or allow any fluid), as well as the rate at which the pumping should occur (1-1000 u/t inclusive).
