====== Fluid Pump ======

The Fluid Pump collects liquids from the world and fills containers for you. It is a powered utility block for turning nearby source fluids into buckets or bottles without manual scooping.

===== How to use it =====

  - Place the Fluid Pump directly above the liquid you want to collect.
  - Connect it to a powered [[energy_and_electricity|Energy and Electricity]] network.
  - Put empty Buckets or Glass Bottles into the input slots.
  - Collect the filled containers from the output.

===== Behavior =====

  * The machine only works with a source liquid directly below it.
  * Empty Buckets become Water Buckets or Lava Buckets, depending on the fluid.
  * Glass Bottles can be filled from water into Water Bottles.
  * Each successful collection costs 32 J, and the machine stores up to 512 J.
  * Water bottling only has a 30% chance to consume the source block, which makes it gentler on water setups than bucketing.

===== Tips =====

  * This machine is especially convenient for automated water bottles, lava collection, and other container-based fluid jobs.
  * Source blocks matter, so flowing liquid alone is not enough.
  * Infinite water setups are easier to maintain than lava fields because water can refill naturally.
