Moving Liquids Downhill and Equalizing Tanks Without Pumps

Setting Up Gravity-Fed Lines

Because fluid physics simulate natural pressure, you do not need powered pumps to transport liquids downward.

1. Place your source fluid storage tank at a higher elevation than your destination.

2. Run a line of pipes from the elevated tank down to the lower container or machine.

3. Open the connection. The liquid in the upper tank naturally builds up downward pressure and flows freely through the pipe network without mechanical intervention.

Equalizing Liquid Across Multiple Tanks

You can maintain consistent fluid reserves across horizontal networks by taking advantage of siphon physics.

1. Connect two or more storage tanks on the same level or across different elevations using continuous piping.

2. Fill one of the containers. As fluid accumulates, siphon action will cause the connected tanks to level out their liquid amounts naturally.

3. If drawing liquid between different world layers, connect your cross-level piping directly; the system will equalize the liquid volume across the entire vertical span until balanced.
