I have build a testifcate village and thought, maybe the village seems more realistic with a water supply.
I love the pump thanks FC to put it in.
What designs have you contructed ?

Yeah, I do the same... but I was unsure...Donzaffi wrote:before I make something in my world, I do it in creative to see how it works best.BrainNoMore wrote:Is it ok to post setups made in creative?
so Sure, post it

Yeah i kinda skipped that... sorry... had a lot of things on my mind... but as I already said i was surprised nobody posted it before (now I realize i was wrong). I was checking useful builds occasionally, and once I saw this thread I just assumed anything pump related will be posted here without bothering/remembering to check useful builds one more time.haphazardnuke wrote:Nice design. Looks similar to the one I posted in the "useful builds" thread yesterday, but I will say your pics may be a little better.
7x5 seems to be the smallest footprint for a stackable pump spiral, at least that I can think of.

I like Darahalian's design too. very tidy powertrain. What are the dimensions, including gearboxes?
Yeah, I made this design in creative when I wast testing the pump after it's release, it's what I intend to use for my pump stack for my base. Made it exactly the same too, with glass :).BrainNoMore wrote:

So this is my first time posting pics here so I hope i don't mess things up

Before I saw that pic in release topic I was trying to go with no spacing, then I just copied the design making it spiral :$FlowerChild wrote:I personally prefer a pump design that I find looks far more reasonable, and which I believe also consumes less resources in terms of Gear Boxes and Axles than some of those above:
It's less compact than some of the other designs, but I find the pros far outweigh the cons. Giving a two block spacing for the water at each level fits the spacing of Gear Boxes so you don't have to get into convoluted layouts for supplying mechanical power to the pumps. This design also allows for transporting the water horizontally at the same time as vertically, since you can space out the individual levels, which avoids having to pump the water higher than really needed to cover any horizontal distance required at the output end. You can also loop this design back on itself to minimize the horizontal space the overall assembly occupies if that's a concern.SpoilerShow
I've used the same design in SMP, and I think it's what I'll stick to in the future.
Hehe...yeah, I realized after posting the above that your design was a variant on the same thing, just "looped back" like I mentioned above.BrainNoMore wrote:Before I saw that pic in release topic I was trying to go with no spacing, then I just copied the design making it spiral :$
I agree - I haven't played much of MC (read much of BTW) since the update because off all the stuff that was happening in my life... but man oh man do I have plans... I built my windmill on cliff overlooking the bay so I was looking for design which will not throw my windmill in shadow thus this "tower-esque pumping station" will fit perfectly... but i plan dams, desert watering channels, sewers, aqueducts (i know i know they work on different principle (sorry but my english is not good enough) but who gives a f...), it really adds a whole new experience to me :)FlowerChild wrote:BrainNoMore wrote:Anyways: that's a good thing IMO. If there was just one general purpose best way to pump water for all situations, then I may as well just have made a single block that pumps water to whatever height you want. If the system requires thinking on the fly and adapting to your situation though, that's optimal from a design standpoint.
Yup, I hear that. Now it's a real choice between running mechanical power from an existing source, or running water to create a new power source.BrainNoMore wrote:before i used to build only one windmill and/or watermill per base because it felt to easy and cheep to build one waterwheel for every structure, so I really like the hc water distribution system :)
Exactly what I have in mind :)TheAnarchitect wrote:Or both. I like running Utilities (It's all those years playing simcity). Part of what I like about the pump is that moving water somewhere also means bringing mechanical power along too. I can set up one power/pumping station and then run an aqueduct to all my different buildings. It's perhaps less efficient than setting up local water/power. But it's also perhaps more fun.SpoilerShow
