Are Pitch Pump Platforms liquid Permeable?

[ProfMembrane]

Can liquid (or gas) flow down or up though the two squares that are on the pitcher pump, I want to know if Dupe messes will flow through or if I will have to make a barrier.

Yes they are, it can even pump from the base with no pipe.

In mid game colony I like to build one in 4 tile high kitchen with no space for pipe. Next to it hydro sensor and one tile high walls on the side. This is how I keep my food made solely from germfree water. Water is cleaned by pipe loop and germ sensor.

Don't worry about it. Pitcher pumps are intelligent like almost nothing else in the game. Much smarter than the dupes, that's for sure. If you stick it in a mixed liquid it will only pump the liquid you set your bottle emptier to, filtering out all other liquids automatically without any sensors and needing to set anything up.

Here's an example of a gravity liquid sorter I made in a previous build. Liquids are just dumped in from valves above the pitcher pump or the bottle emptiers and automatically gets sorted by the in-game liquid distribution model. This was before polluted water was made equal to regular water though. But the pitcher pump let's the dupes have access to any of the 4 liquid types that touches its "roots".

(It's a survival game build, btw, many people assume that just because many of my builds are super clean looking they must be done in debug. I only use debug for test builds though, not showcase builds).

BLESS YOUR HEART! WOW,...nice. ty! really that's amazing...

I want this for gases... it, this...is beautiful

So now polluted and clean water get mixed, but oil can be separated? Because the gravity system relies on heat capacity?
