Mechanical Water Pump

WorldObject

Pumps water from a source into a pipe network.

Notes

The Mechanical Water Pump is a placed world object that pumps water from a source into a connected pipe network. It has a 1x2x3 footprint, must be grid-aligned when placed, and can be toggled on or off. Practical tip: position the pump next to a water body and ensure you have a pipe network ready to distribute the water where needed.
