| β | Using the same conditions as above, assume there is a volume pump attached to the input (like you find on an advanced furnace. If you're poor and can't afford an advanced furnace, use a regular furnace with an attached volume pump on the inlet. You hobo). Assume the pressure behind the volume pump is at a steady 50 Megapascals (50E6 Pascals) at 200 Kelvin and there is 5 pipe segments (100 Liters per pipe segment = 500 Liters). The stationer (being dumb, I guess) turns the pump up to 100 Liters. How much pressure is going to be added to the system on each game tick? Should the stationeer be sh***ing their space suit? | + | Using the same conditions as above, assume there is a volume pump attached to the input (like you find on an advanced furnace.

''Now is a good time to mention that the dial on a volume pump is actually a measure of rate, not volume. When setting the volume pump to 10 Liters, it actually means "10 Liters per game tick". WHY it's just labelled as volume and what determines a game tick? I don't know, go ask the devloper - I'm busy.'' | ''Now is a good time to mention that the dial on a volume pump is actually a measure of rate, not volume.
