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...)


Each offshore pump will produce a flow of 60 units of water per second, this is equal to the consumption of 10 steam engines per second. Thus if you wish to supply water to more than 10 steam engines at full output, you will need to use 2 or more offshore pumps per pipe.
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]].


'''This is explained more in [[Power_production/Optimal_ratios#Hot_liquids|optimal ratios]]'''.
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.

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.
