You could always throw it into a packager lift up the bottles unpackage at the top and then return the bottles to start the process anew.
JK
But I did watch a video once where a guy took a cargo train and loaded with liquid water and brought it up to near world max height to then flow down all throughout his factory.
Ok, many thx for all your suggestions. I will try therm tomorrow.
you need to place a pump just before you run out of head lift (normal buildings have ~4m I think)
you can see the head lift of the pump itself with the build menu hologram
Normal buildings have 10m. It is in the building descriptions
right, yeah 4m seemed a bit too low
Hmm i never noticed a visual indicator for the head lift. I can see the blue hologram and some sort of "waves" starting from the pump hologram. Assume, I have build a industrial tank on the bottom, 0 meter's above the ground. From there the pipeline starts straight upwards, for example 20 meter's. Where should I place the first mk II pump? At 3 meter's or later?
You can only see the blue headlift indicator when placing a pump after another pump. There isn't a baseline headlift indicator unfortunately.
Buildings supposedly have a 12m headlift as opposed to their advertised 10m headlift so have a little forgiveness.
Best indicator is to place and power your pump. If it's not actively pumping, then it's too high.
Also, pump mk ll is 50m, mk l is 20m :)
Unless you're power starved, just place your first pump near the output, don't waste time trying to save a few meters. After that, the next pump will snap to place where the last pumps headlift runs out. I read somewhere that the indicator won't show if it's more than 100m away horizontally, didn't have to test that situation myself though.
Pump powered? Pump pointing the right way? Pump low enough that it's still in headlift from a previous pump?
The direction is correct and power is on. But I don't get the right spot, to place the pump. If I place it on the bottom, it doesn't seem to be right, but placing on the top seems to be to far away, to get enough fuel from the pipeline.
Two pumps then
It’s pumps all the way down.
Up :D
… from a certain point of view.
