Aqueous Accumulator

No, it does not work with lava. You monster.

An aqueous accumulator is a device that generates water by extracting it from the device’s surroundings.

Obtaining

A placed aqueous accumulator can be instantly picked up by dismantling it with a wrench. Its configuration is preserved in the item. It can also be mined using a pickaxe.

Crafting

Usage

Placement

When placed, an aqueous accumulator faces the player. It can face any of the four cardinal directions, and can be rotated using a wrench.

Operation

When placed between at least two water source blocks, an aqueous accumulator will start producing water. The rate at which water is produced depends on the amount of adjacent water sources.

Water is not actually produced every tick, but in batches every 40 ticks (2 seconds).

An aqueous accumulator will also produce water when it rains on top of it. In this case, water is produced at a rate of 100 mB/t.

If enabled, an aqueous accumulator will also produce water without adjacent water sources or rain. In this case, water is produced at a rate of 2 mB/t. This is disabled by default.

Aqueous accumulators do not work in the Nether.

Output

Water can exit an aqueous accumulator through its sides. Every side of an aqueous accumulator may be configured to be able to output water.

An aqueous accumulator can automatically transfer water out of any configured output sides. This is called auto-output, and occurs every 40 ticks (2 seconds), after water is produced.

Which sides can output water and whether auto-output is enabled can be configured using the Configuration tab in the device’s GUI.

Redstone control

An aqueous accumulator may be configured to respond to redstone signals. It can be in one of three modes:

Ignored

Redstone control is disabled. The aqueous accumulator works whenever possible. This is the default mode.

Low

The aqueous accumulator works when not powered. When powered, it stops working.

High

The aqueous accumulator only works when powered.

The current mode can be set using the Redstone Control tab in the device’s GUI.

Security

An aqueous accumulator can have a signalum security lock installed to restrict who can access it.

Redprints

An aqueous accumulator’s configuration can be saved on a redprint to be copied to other aqueous accumulators.

Trivia

• Aqueous accumulators take advantage of the fact that two water source blocks will fill an empty space between them by creating another water source, which makes it possible to obtain infinite water.
