💧 Water Pumps Expanded

Your water supply grows with your industry: upgrade your groundwater and seawater pumps in place to level II and III, no tearing down, no new pipes.

Level II pumps 3 times as much water as the vanilla pump, level III 6 times as much: a groundwater pump III gives 288 water / min, a seawater pump III 648 seawater / min, on the same spot as the pump it came from.

Features

• ⬆️ Upgrades in place: select a pump and press Upgrade. It keeps its place and its pipe (a groundwater pump also its deposit); the game delivers the cost difference like for any other upgrade
• 🌱 Groundwater pump II / III: 144 / 288 water per minute (vanilla 48), 360 / 720 kW
• 🌊 Seawater pump II / III: 324 / 648 seawater per minute (vanilla 108), 300 / 600 kW
• 🌊 Seawater pump (tall) II / III: the same for the tall seawater pump, at 600 kW / 1.2 MW
• 🚰 Second outlet on III: one pipe III carries 450 a minute, so the seawater pumps III get a second outlet right beside the first
• 📏 The game's own pumps, made bigger: groundwater pumps 1.15x and 1.3x, seawater pumps 1.25x and 1.5x as tall and wide (their pipe still reaches into the sea the same way); icons with a II or III badge
• 🧭 One build menu entry: Seawater pump I, II, III, then the tall one I, II, III
• 👷 Costs: construction parts II for level II (the tall seawater pump II: construction parts III), construction parts III and steel for level III
• 🔬 Research: four new nodes in the research tree, right after the research they need

How to start

1. Research Groundwater pump II (after Groundwater pump and Pipes II) and upgrade a groundwater pump.
2. Research Seawater pump II (after Thermal desalination and Pipes III) for both seawater pumps.
3. Research Groundwater pump III (after Groundwater pump II and Construction III) and Seawater pump III (after Seawater pump II), then upgrade again.

Good to know

• 🌍 Speaks all 21 languages of the game.
• Level II groundwater pumps need pipes II, everything above that pipes III.
• A groundwater pump draws from its deposit what it pumps, so a bigger pump empties it faster; rain fills it again.
• The fast mode of the vanilla seawater pumps is not on level II and III: a pump in fast mode keeps the normal mode when it is upgraded.
• Can be added to existing saves, but not removed once you have built a level II or III pump.
• Made for Captain of Industry 0.8.7.
