[Suggestion] Make mini gas and liquid pumps accessable before full-sized pumps.


Recommended Posts

Just a thought I had regarding how progression usually works in video games. Namely, that smaller/weaker options are usually given before bigger/stronger ones.

So, in the case of the pumps in ONI, what if the mini pumps were accessable before we got the bigger "industrial strength" pumps? The mini pumps could be made using a small amount of raw metals and be only able to pump a little bit of gas or liquid at a time. Then, as we progress through the research tree, we could get access to the full-sized pumps which would be able to pump more material and be more energy efficient.

Also, even if they aren't placed earlier on the tech tree, I do think that mini-pumps could benefit from being made of metal instead of easily meltable plastic. It would make them much better for pumping high temperature materials.

Anyway, not exactly a high-priority request or anything, just wanted to put it out there in case anyone else agrees.

Eh, the idea of the Pumps is you can use them for smaller-term operations where a large pump isn't needed. "Item tiers" is something this game doesn't go by, the research mostly gives you more options rather than flat improvements.
