The offshore pump produces water from a lakes and oceans in Nauvis and Gleba , as well it can pump heavy oil in Fulgora , Lava on Vulcanus and Ammoniacal solution on Aquilo . It must be placed on a shoreline of a body of fluid lake or ocean on the map, and connected to a pipe or other object that accepts liquids. It produces 1200 units of fluid per second. It does not require electricity or fuel to operate.

Offshore pumps are frequently used to provide water for steam engines, though several crafting recipes also require water. One offshore pump can generate enough water to support 200 boilers, which in turn can support 400 steam engines. For more information, see power production.

The fluid supply from an offshore pump is endless; it will not dry up the body of fluid it is attached to. Additionally, the size of the body of fluid the pump is connected to does not affect the rate of fluid generation. Filling in the fluid around the pump by using landfill will rename the pump to "Water well pump" and it will keep producing fluid.

History

2.0.13:
- Higher-quality pumps now produce more fluid per second.

2.0.7:
- Can be placed on lava lake and oil ocean in Space Age

0.18.10:
- New offshore pump graphics.
- Offshore pump is now buildable on ground tile adjacent to water instead of water tile adjacent to ground.

0.16.16:
- Changed size of offshore pump from 3x1 to 3x2 in order to prevent pump placement in overlapping positions.

0.15.0:
- Increased water output from 60 to 1200 units per second. (Undocumented)

0.12.1:
- Copy paste now works on pump.

It must be placed on a shoreline of a body of fluid lake or ocean on the map, and connected to a [[pipe]] or [[Fluid system|other object that accepts liquids]].

-The '''offshore pump''' is the only source of water. It is commonly used to provide steam to [[Steam engine|steam engines]] for power generation. The offshore pump itself requires no power to operate. (This is because, otherwise the game might fall into a serious deadlock: No coal, no electricity, no water...)
-In game testing, a pump will push water at about 8UOL/Sec. (UOL is unit of liquid, more info at [[Liquid network]] ) The amount pushed a second decreases as pressure builds in the [[Liquid network]]. No notable drop-off of units/sec are really seen till the network is at about 80% full. For basic calculations it is safe to assume that 8UOL/Sec per pump is a safe bet as if you are using [[Steam engine|steam engines]] your network will most likely never be "full".
+Offshore pumps are frequently used to provide water for [[steam engine]]s, though several crafting recipes also require water. One offshore pump can generate enough water to support 200 boilers, which in turn can support 400 steam engines. For more information, see [[Power_production#Steam power|power production]].
