The Pump is used to extract large volumes of liquid from 
the world. 
When placed, it extends a trunk downward until it finds a liquid 
source, at which point it begins scanning and draining the entire 
connected body of fluid.

**Large Body Draining**

The pump can drain liquid reservoirs of up to 100,000 
blocks in size. For larger reservoirs it might not drain the entire thing.
It processes fluids into its internal storage at a rate of 4 buckets 
per second, with an energy consumption of 512 RF per block removed. 
The scanning process for very large liquid bodies may take 
several seconds to initialize.
