Electric Pump (Reborn)
An electric pump that pulls fluid straight out of the ground — no lake, ocean or lava pool needed. Plug it into your power grid, place it anywhere on land, and it pumps whatever fluid the planet has underground.
Also adds the Aquilo water well, a deep-drilling pump that reaches liquid water beneath Aquilo's frozen surface — as long as you keep it warm.
This is a continuation of Viidi's Electric Pump, which has been abandoned. Updated for Factorio 2.1 and Space Age.
Electric Pump
| Planet | Fluid |
|---|---|
| Nauvis | Water |
| Gleba | Water |
| Vulcanus | Lava |
| Fulgora | Heavy oil |
| Aquilo | Ammonia |
| Space platforms | Can't be placed |
Planets added by other mods pump water.
- There is only one item. When it's placed, it automatically becomes the right pump for the planet it's on.
- Works with blueprints, ghosts and construction robots on any planet.
- Mining any version gives you back the same Electric Pump item.
- Uses 20 kW of electricity.
- Can be built on land only, not in water.
- Unlocked by: Steam power research.
- Recipe: offshore pump ingredients + 6 copper cable.
Aquilo water well
Aquilo's oceans are ammonia, but there's liquid water deep below the ice. The water well drills down to reach it.
- Aquilo only: can't be placed on any other planet.
- Pumps 1,200 water per second, the same as an offshore pump.
- Uses 20 kW of electricity.
- Keep it warm! Needs 50 kW of heat from heat pipes or a heating tower. Without heat it freezes over and stops pumping.
- Rotate it to choose which side the water comes out.
- Unlocked by: Aquilo discovery research.
- Recipe: 2 iron gear wheels + 3 pipes.
Compatibility
- Space Age is optional. Without it, the Electric Pump simply pumps water and the Aquilo water well isn't added.
- Replaces the original Viidi's Electric Pump. The two can't be enabled together.
- Upgrading from the original mod: disable the old mod and enable this one. Your existing pumps are kept, and pumps already on Vulcanus, Fulgora or Aquilo switch to the right fluid automatically.
