Emergent behavior in automated pumps

9 votes

Adding automated pumps would would also add the ability to create a battery, using two lakes of different height. This would be a really interesting emergent behaviour, and would be better than other froms of battery, because it requires water (the lifeblood of the game) and is more interesting and complex than a flywheel.

Mechanical powered pumps and pipes would add so much to the game. We could do pumped storage for water, but even just being able to pipe water to water tanks for consumption would add so much. Imagine a big mechanical pump piping water a good distance to a big water tank in the centre of town to satisfy drinking needs.
