Multiplayer · Languages ​​· German / English / Français
Transferring slurry, digestate, water, diesel, liquid fertilizer, or milk via hose—without needing a tanker? It’s possible!
Simply set up two pumps, and they will be connected by a visible, coiled hose that rests realistically on the ground, winding smoothly around buildings, ramps, edges, and slopes. Build Menu

Pumps
Slurry pump – green hose
Digestate pump – yellow hose
Water pump – blue hose (includes well mode)
Diesel pump – black hose
Fertilizer pump – orange hose
Milk pump – white hose (also for goat and buffalo milk)

Connecting
Place a pump next to a storage facility (barn, biogas plant, tank, greenhouse, gas station, milk silo, dairy).
Place a second pump of the same type next to the other storage facility.
When placing, an indicator shows the distance to the nearest available pump of the same type.
Connections are managed via the menu:
Select a partner (displays distance and status—available, occupied, too far, or incompatible), then choose “Connect.”
“Incompatible” means the two storage facilities do not match the type of liquid handled by the pump.
Each pump associates with the nearest compatible liquid storage facility within a 60-meter radius.
“Disconnect” removes the hose, allowing a different pump to be connected instead.
Pumps can only connect to other pumps belonging to the same farm.

Hose
Spiral hose (6-inch), up to 150 meters long.
Lies naturally across the terrain.
Navigates around buildings and other obstacles using pathfinding.
Can be driven over (no collision).

Pumping
Flow rate: 60,000 liters per hour (a realistic rate for a 6-inch hose).
Liquid is transferred from the source storage facility to the destination storage facility.
Pumping direction can be toggled, provided the reverse direction is also compatible (otherwise, the “Change” option is disabled).
Operates continuously. Remains active while switched on; pauses if the source is empty or the destination is full, then automatically resumes operation.
Pump noise is audible only from the pump currently in the process of transferring fluid.

Water Pump (Well Mode)
“Well Mode” can be toggled On/Off via the menu.
On: The pump extracts groundwater at no cost (e.g., for use in a water tank, greenhouse, or barn).
Off: Functions as a standard water pump (e.g., for transferring water from one tank to another).

Multiplayer
Pump status, hose connections, and operating conditions are synchronized and visible to all players on the server.
Connection status, pump (on/off) state, flow direction, fluid type, and “Well Mode” settings are saved as part of the game save.
