Laige: Fixed Max health to 200 and max power to 150 as is in Factorio 0.11.22

The car is an alternative movement method for your character. Driving a [[Car]] is much faster than running although it slowly consumes some [[Fuel]]. The [[Car]] has a basic storage and provides some armor.

[Since v0.11 this is not longer valid, the damage model changed: Car can collide with objects, dealing and taking damage in the process. Damage is dependent on car's speed at the moment of collision and hp of the target. Small [[biter]]s and trees can be safely rammed, but colliding with big biters and [[Wall]]s can easily destroy the vehicle.]

== Usage as big chest ==
Because the car can store the highest number of items, it can be used as big chest. There are also other quite unconventional usages: [http://www.factorioforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=8805 Cars on Belts - Not just a highway].

== Old sprites ==
There is an thread about the [http://www.factorioforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=3087 old sprites of the car]. It includes also the old graphics and how to replace it in game.

== Entering the car ==
To enter the car, you stand near the car, and hit the "Enter" key. (default key binding)

Laige: corrected some bad grammar.

[[File:small-pump-prev.png|frame|A small pump. Pump direction is left to right.]]

Small pump (when powered) moves fluids from its input to its output and (regardless of power) prevents the opposite from happening. This happens even if the pressure of input is much lower than the pressure of output (although speed may be affected). Note that pump can't mix different kinds of liquids.

The small pump can eventually be seen as the "inserter for liquids".

== Throughput (needed number of pumps) ==

The throughput depends on the pressured-difference between input and output.

In the worst case (no input pressure, max output pressure) you need 5, better 6 small pumps, to fill a pipe to it's max. throughput capacity. See http://www.factorioforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=6066

== Using as Valve ==

The small pump works as a valve:

* When powered the small pump will let liquids through, but only in it's set direction. The throughput depends on the pressure, see above.
: Tip: You can just rotate the pump to "switch a pipe off". This is sometimes handy.
* If unpowered the small pump doesn't let anything through.
: This can be used to [[Automatic control|control]] some parts of your factory (but currently it is very complicated).

An example, which uses some habits of the pump can be found [http://www.factorioforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=3724 in the forum].
