*Water

*What is the water system?

It is a system that lets you collect, store, transport and distribute water in game. It functions similarly to the electrical system in that it has its own hand tool and you connect components in the same way.

Its primary use is for farming plants like hemp, berries and other foods.

Gravity is something you will need to be aware of. When sending water down towards the ground, gravity will assist you. If at any point you need to route water up away from the ground, you will require a component that can pump and that component will need electricity to function.

*Common Traits

Tool Cupboard authorization is required to make IO connections with the Hose tool.

There is a max depth of 9 components and a max of 6 sprinklers in a chain.

*Large Water Catcher

• When placing them down, they will have a default of 1ml.
• The base level collection rate is 8ml per minute but depending on the weather and biome, collection rates will change. There are 2 weather conditions that contribute to the collection rate, they are Fog Level and Rain Level. The closer to 0 they are, the closer the collection rate will be to the default of 8ml per minute.
• For every 0.1 increase of Rain Level, the collection rate increases by:
  • Desert - 15ml per minute
  • Temperate - 30ml per minute
  • Arctic - 0ml per minute
• For every 0.1 increase in the Fog Level, the collection rate increases by:
  • Desert - 6ml per minute
  • Temperate - 6ml per minute
  • Arctic - 6ml per minute
• The math:
  • Biome: Temperate = 1, Desert = 0.5, Arctic = 0
  • Collection Rate = 8ml + (Rain Level × (300ml × Biome)) + (Fog Level × 60ml)
• Requires an area on the ground roughly equal to a 2x2
• Can be built inside, but on the ground, with a ceiling at 1.5 floors.
• It will passively collect water from the air
• Cannot be placed on Icebergs.
• To transfer water automatically, press and hold Give or Take. This way you don’t have to keep clicking.

*Small Water Catcher

Notes: There was a buff added on the 2nd of November 2023 that has not been tested

• When placing them down, they will have a default of 1ml.
• The base level collection rate is 3ml per minute but depending on the weather and biome, collection rates will change. There are 2 weather conditions that contribute to the collection rate, they are Fog Level and Rain Level. The closer to 0 they are, the closer the collection rate will be to the default of 3ml per minute.
• For every 0.1 increase of Rain Level, the collection rate increases by:
  • Desert - 5ml per minute
  • Temperate - 10ml per minute
  • Arctic - 0ml per minute
• For every 0.1 increase in the Fog Level, the collection rate increases by:
  • Desert - 2ml per minute
  • Temperate - 2ml per minute
  • Arctic - 2ml per minute
• The math:
  • Biome: Temperate = 1, Desert = 0.5, Arctic = 0
  • Collection Rate = 2ml + (Rain Level × (100ml × Biome)) + (Fog Level × 20ml)
• Can be placed on the ground and floors.
• You can place them inside and use floor frames with floor grills above them but requires 3.5 floors above before you can place a ceiling.
• To transfer water automatically, press and hold Give or Take. This way you don’t have to keep clicking.

*Water Barrel

Notes:

• Can be placed on floors or the ground.
• Can place a small box under it.
• To transfer water in or out automatically, press and hold Give or Take. This way you don’t have to keep clicking.

*Water Pump

Notes:

• Can only be placed in water sources like rivers, swamps or the ocean.
• It will pump water out of itself to water a barrel, against gravity with no power required.
• It is a pump so it will counter gravity and pump water to an upper floor.
• Can be placed under wooden foundations.

*Powered Water Purifier

Notes:

• Must be placed on a floor/foundation or the ground.
• Blocks water components Active Usage downstream.
• The smallest perfect salt pump to purifier ratio is 125:17, 1 purifier can handle over 7 pumps but can’t handle 8.

*Fuel Tank Vehicle Module

Notes:

• Requires a car chassis and takes up 2 slots.
• It is recommended you store the car on a Modular Car Lift to avoid decay.

*Fluid Switch & Pump

Notes:

• Can be placed on all angled surfaces and the ground.
• Does not need electricity if you are using gravity to bring water down floors but will require electricity to push water up floors.
• You do not need TC auth to manually operate.
• As long as electricity is applied to Toggle, the switch will turn on. When power is removed, the switch turns off. No power needs to be applied to Pump Power for this action.

*Fluid Combiner

Notes:

• If we give each input 12, the output will be 36.
• Can be placed on all angled surfaces and the ground.

*Fluid Splitter

Notes:

• The water input is evenly divided between all connected outputs. 100 ÷ 2 = 50 per output. 100 ÷ 3 = 33 for each output.
• Can be placed on all surfaces including the ground.
• Each connected output shows it consumes 1 water from the input amount. If we give the splitter 12 and have a connection on each output, each output only gets 3. This is a visual bug. If we create the below picture in game, we can see there is no water loss.

*Sprinkler

Notes:

• Sprinklers have a radius of 1 foundation or 3 meters. Anything that water can affect within this range will be affected.
• Primarily used for indoor plant farms using planter boxes.
• Will get people wet if they are in range.
• Will extinguish campfires, lanterns, furnaces and other similar items.
• Will not extinguish fire from the flamethrower or molotov cocktail.
