Connecting
- Place a pump next to a storage facility, such as a barn, biogas plant, tank, greenhouse, gas station, milk silo, or dairy.
- Place a second pump of the same type next to the other storage facility.
- When placing, an indicator shows the distance to the nearest available pump of the same type.
- Connections are managed via the menu.
- Select a partner, which displays the distance and status, available, occupied, too far, or incompatible, then choose “Connect.”
- “Incompatible” means the two storage facilities do not match the type of liquid handled by the pump.
- Each pump associates with the nearest compatible liquid storage facility within a 60-meter radius.
- “Disconnect” removes the hose, allowing a different pump to be connected instead.
- Pumps can only connect to other pumps belonging to the same farm.
Hose
- Spiral hose, 6-inch, up to 150 meters long.
- Lies naturally across the terrain.
- Navigates around buildings and other obstacles using pathfinding.
- Can be driven over, with no collision.
Pumping
- Liquid is transferred from the source storage facility to the destination storage facility.
- Pumping direction can be toggled, provided the reverse direction is also compatible. Otherwise, the “Change” option is disabled.
- Operates continuously and remains active while switched on.
- Pauses if the source is empty or the destination is full, then automatically resumes operation.
- Pump noise is audible only from the pump currently in the process of transferring fluid.
Water Pump, Well Mode
- “Well Mode” can be toggled On/Off via the menu.
- On: The pump extracts groundwater at no cost, for example, for use in a water tank, greenhouse, or barn.
- Off: Functions as a standard water pump, for example, for transferring water from one tank to another.
Multiplayer
- Pump status, hose connections, and operating conditions are synchronized and visible to all players on the server.
- Connection status, pump On/Off state, flow direction, fluid type, and “Well Mode” settings are saved as part of the game save.
