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

• 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.

• 0.12.0:
  • Connectable to the circuit network.

• 0.9.2:
  • Now specifies the liquid it will produce.

• 0.5.1:
  • New graphics.

• 0.1.0:
  • Introduced
