Reinforced Pump

Reinforced Pump is a block in Mindustry. It functions as a high-throughput liquid handling structure with clearly defined per-tile and maximum flow rates, and a listed input figure that affects how it must be integrated into a production chain.

According to published rate data, the Reinforced Pump provides 20 units per second per tile, with a maximum throughput of 80 units per second. The same reference lists an Input: 1.5/sec value alongside those rates. These figures imply that throughput scales with the number of valid tiles the pump is interacting with until it reaches the stated cap; in practice this means arranging the pump to make use of multiple adjacent tiles up to the point where the 80/sec maximum is reached.

A piece of developer/trivia information from the Erekir tech-tree sources indicates there were (or are) plans to add a stronger variant of the Reinforced Pump that would consume cyanogen as part of its operation. That planned variant is mentioned in the game's source code for the Erekir tech progression and would represent a higher-tier or specialized pump option tied to cyanogen as a resource.

Practical notes for using the Reinforced Pump:

• Plan installations so the pump can access multiple tiles of whatever fluid source or interface it is designed to work with; the pump’s per-tile rate and the 80/sec cap determine how many tiles are necessary to reach full throughput.
• Treat the listed Input: 1.5/sec as an important integration parameter when designing supply chains; ensure upstream and downstream connections can accommodate or supply that input rate.
• Expect that higher-tier campaign or mod tech paths (such as Erekir) may add variants with different resource costs or behaviors; a cyanogen-consuming stronger pump has been referenced in source code for one such tech tree.

Do not assume other properties (power draw, exact placement mechanics, which fluids it can handle) beyond the numerical rates shown here unless those specifics are confirmed by additional references.
