Smart Pumps

Mastering Duplicant Logistics with Smart Pumps in Oxygen Not Included

For any Duplicant striving for peak efficiency in the harsh environments of Oxygen Not Included, the precise management of liquids and gases is paramount. Standard pumps can be inefficient, constantly cycling and consuming power even when there’s nothing to move. This is where the “Smart Pumps” mod introduces a game-changing level of control, offering specialized late-game solutions for intricate logistical challenges.

Targeted Fluid and Gas Management

The “Smart Pumps” mod introduces three distinct pump types, each designed to tackle specific scenarios with unparalleled efficiency. These are not mere replacements for existing infrastructure, but rather sophisticated tools that unlock new possibilities for base design and resource management.

Introducing the Smart Pump Lineup

This mod empowers you with the ability to finely tune your fluid and gas handling systems. Let’s explore the capabilities of each new addition:

• Filtered Gas Pump

  This intelligent pump focuses on a single gas type. It will only activate when the designated gas is present and within its operational range, preventing wasted energy and ensuring that only valuable resources are transported. With a capacity of up to 500 g/s, it’s ideal for isolating specific atmospheric elements.

• Filtered Liquid Pump

  Similar to its gas counterpart, the Filtered Liquid Pump targets a specific liquid. It waits for the configured liquid to be available before engaging, offering significant power savings in complex liquid networks. Capable of moving up to 10 kg/s, it’s a robust solution for refined resource distribution.

• Vacuum Pump

  For those desperate to achieve a vacuum, this specialized gas pump is invaluable. While its volume capacity is lower, it excels at rapidly reducing gas pressure in enclosed spaces. This makes it perfect for specialized industrial processes or for clearing out unwanted gases from newly excavated areas with remarkable speed.

The “Smart Pumps” mod is an essential upgrade for any colony that has moved beyond the early stages of development and requires more granular control over their environmental systems. By reducing wasted energy and enabling precise resource flow, these smart solutions can significantly improve overall colony sustainability and performance.
