Fluid Pump
The Fluid Pump is the intake of the liquid network. While it has power, it draws water, lava, honey, or shimmer from the tiles under its body into a small buffer. Fluid pipes then carry that liquid to tanks, injectors, and other machines that use liquid.
While powered, draws world liquid below the machine into its internal buffer Costs 2UE per tile of liquid drained; fluid travels through pipelines to tanks and machines

Placement
Section titled “Placement”The body is 3×2 and needs a solid floor. The scan covers one tile left and right of the body, and about eight tiles down. Sit the pump above the surface.
The buffer holds at most 4 tiles and locks to one liquid. It will not switch types until it runs empty. Water, lava, honey, and shimmer do not share a pipe.
Connect fluid pipes on the side. Those pipes do not carry power. Power still needs an energy pipe.
