DonDegow Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 It would be quite convenient to be able to set a pressure threshold for (mainly gas) pumps in a similar way of the manual generator with batteries (AKA Hamster wheel). The idea is the pump would STOP pumping when the pressure is below that threshold in order to avoid vacuum chambers (instead of manually disabling the pump through a switch or the pump itself). Maybe the pressure system is not adequate for this exact purpose but it could work by averaging the fluid weight in the area sucked by pumps; for instance "Pump as long as the average weight is over 666g/tile in close vicinity". What do you think about this, would it cost a lot of time? is that even a good idea?

Masterpintsman Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I think this would be a good idea, would also like to have it on gas vents (with a higher maximum setting of around the double of the current fixed setting).

Lwolf Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 It would be a good idea to have it adjustable incase you did want a vacuum Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/75674-pressure-threshold-for-pumps/#findComment-880579 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonDegow Posted March 10, 2017 Author Share Posted March 10, 2017 @Lwolf Yes exactly like the manual generator, that's what I'm suggesting.
