g [Not Really] Pump but free?

4 months ago

While using this mod, I noticed that it kinda works as a free pump... In that it divides pipe segments, but does not use power. Could you add some way to make it optionally consume power Although this is probably a really stretched nitpick since well... 30 kw is not a drastic difference between no power at all, and adding a power requirement when a prototype probably does not support it would just be UPS glugger. Dunno, just wanted to point it out

Hello! A pump does two things, and of those two things these valves only do one:
- Break up fluid extents: Yes, this valves also do with no power requirement. Haha shhhhh, don't tell anybody :P
- Actively push fluids to the output: This these valves don't do, it's a passive valve because it's using the nice new valve prototype provided by the Factorio engine. Configurable Valves on the other hand...

Also though, it's not possible to make these valve prototypes consume power without a bunch of hacks.
