Description

Adds a water pumpjack to provide an alternative source of water.

  • The water pumpjack becomes available with the "Fluid handling" technology (this technology is part of the base game, this mod doesn't introduce any additional technologies)
  • It looks like a normal pumpjack, but blue
  • It does not require electricity
  • It can be placed anywhere (on solid ground)
  • It pumps 240 water per second (20% of the water output of an offshore pump)
  • The recipe is based on the normal pumpjack, but the number of ingredients and the crafting time is doubled (doesn't really matter in the endgame, does it?)
  • Supported languages: english, german

The low pumping speed and the expensive crafting requirements are a tradeoff for the benefit to extract water anywhere for free. As a player you are supposed to consider if you rather build near a water body, or if you rather train the required water in, or if you rather build lots of bulky water pumpjacks instead.

The graphics (blue pumpjack) have been created by BrutusMaximus.

Languages

If your language is not supported yet, I want to encourage you to let me know. It would be awesome if you could provide an already translated version of the locale.cfg file with the following content (otherwise I have to use a translator). Feel free to open a discussion. I will put it in as soon as I can ;)
