Ranged Pumps

Ranged Pumps is a practical addition that introduces a pump with an extended operating range for liquid extraction.

Installation and Activation

For the device to function, it must be placed on a surface. It's important to note that the pump operates only in the absence of a redstone signal. When receiving a redstone signal, operation pauses until the signal is disabled.

Energy Consumption and Settings

By default, the pump requires Forge Energy supply, but this function can be disabled through configuration files. The device's internal tank holds 32 buckets of liquid, but this capacity can be adjusted through settings. When the tank becomes full, the pump automatically stops working.

Status Monitoring

To check the current device status and verify its operational condition, simply right-click on the pump.

Operating Principle and Range

The pump extracts liquids in a rectangular spiral pattern, starting from one block below the device itself. The standard operating range is 64 blocks in any direction, with scanning occurring from nearest to farthest points. Along the vertical axis, the device scans for liquid from its level down to bedrock.

Additional Functions

By default, the pump replaces extracted liquid with stone blocks, but this option can be disabled in settings. The device automatically transfers liquid to adjacent tanks, and liquid can also be extracted through piping systems.

Important Note

The mod does not provide automatic chunk loading for pumps - implementing this functionality requires installation of additional modifications.
