Gutters, pipes, pumps, hoses, and tanks - Frank_Stein - 07-08-2018
Need a lot of fluids moved from one place to another? Don't have the time to mop it up with sponges and wring it out? How new methods of moving fluids around?
- Gutters - Gutters are special floor tiles that have are deeper and can contain more water. Connecting two gutter tiles, the water will naturally want to move into them before picking a non-gutter tile. Use this to control the flow of water from one side of the station to another. Can be covered with a grate so that it can be walked over without slipping
- Pipes - Pipes are underground tubes that can be connected with their own drains
- Pumps - Place a pump along a pipeline to control the flow of water from a pipe. Using a pump, you can suction fluid from one area and dump it out into another
- Hoses - Attachable to pumps, functionally the same as a pipe but made of cheaper materials and lies above ground. Laid out like wire, is also a tripping hazard.
- Tanks - Attachable to pumps, can be used as a source to pump fluids into or out from a pipe or hose attachment
