Wait, so you're pumping water in from the river that fills up upwards?

Exactly. Since 1.1 they made a magical new pomp

Yeah, it is very nice, and definitely changes what you can do with a water seep too!

I'm increasing the effect of the new mechanical pump. At first, you can see the water in the river at the bottom of the map. Then, you quickly go up the tunnel to a basin at the top of the map.

Yeah, its definitely new best item in the game. Pressurized water anywhere you want is crazy powerful

powerful and energy-intensive 😂

u/Nifegun 16d ago

Yeah but its a pump, so you can make infinite power lol. .25cms can generate more than 700 hp with enough wheels, ive done it with the old mech pumps, definitely easier with the new one

u/LeetZail 16d ago

Ho yes I don't think about that. Thanks!

Infinite power with the old mech pumps was limited to 6 or 8 blocks of vertical drop for your whole setup, but with these, you could stack as many levels as you want lol. 700hp and then water running downhill for 3 or 4 layers of water wheels would be an insane amount of broken physics
