Technoincubus Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 It seemed to be the most logical option to have such building but we have no such thing. Why? We have pump to drain water from underneath but no option to bottle it with liquid input.

impyre Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 This has been requested many times over. Responses range from "That's stupid, it would take pipes and pumps, just place a pitcher pump" to "OMG I need this now!" I personally fall into the latter category. I can't stand the way it is now. I don't have space to place large water reservoirs all over my base, and even the smallest pitcher pump reservoir needs a liquid vent to keep it from running dry. I have to run a pipe there anyway... why not cut out the extra wasted space and just pump it directly to a bottler. It also makes sense that since they don't have to pump it, it would be faster. Also, the thing could have a water bottle ready for use before it's needed. There are a couple of downsides that usually get brought up: A) It's not uncommon for a water bottle to be 100+ Kg in size, especially when carrying water for emptying at a bottle emptier. Filling that would take a single dedicated pipe and pump 10 full seconds. B) At that use rate, it couldn't keep up with multiple dupes carrying water, whereas a pitcher pump can. The pitcher pump reservoir acts like a sort of "water battery". To rebut these arguments though, I submit that the same could hold true for a plumbed water bottler. Do one of two things: A) Limit the size of the water bottles it puts out to something more reasonable for cooking/farming/algae terrarium use. or B) Keep the size as is, and just include a 1000 Kg water storage in the device that's used as needed, and refilled at 10 Kg/s.

Sasza22 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 We got a gas bottler that works that way. No reason we shouldn`t get one for water. It would be easier to manage when using liquid tanks while pitcher pump would be better for open pools. Also put it behind some basic research. The gas bottler holds a small amount of gas inside. No reason a liquid bottler couldn`t hold lets say 250kg of liquid (the tank stores 5000kg so it`s not like it`s exploitable).

avilmask Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Add to that a device to unbottle liquids and gasses into pipes. Would add some poor's man solutions to transportation, or when you make short term solution / have no time to make a transmission.

Xuhybrid Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Imagine if we had a water cooler that could be supplied by pipe. Allowing us to pick up liquids where we actually need it, instead of having to move the liquid storage itself, closer.
