A '''screw pump''' is a small [[building]] that can lift liquids ([[water]] or [[magma]]) from one level below onto the same [[Z-level]] as the pump. It is two tiles by one tile in size, and it can be either manually operated by a [[dwarf]] allowed to do the the [[pump operator|pump operating]] work (by default there is no [[work detail]] for this [[labor]], and everyone is allowed to do it) or by being [[power]]ed by [[water wheel]]s and/or [[windmill]]s. A screw pump both accepts and transfers power using either tile of the pump, in all orthogonal directions, including above and below. | A '''screw pump''' is a small [[building]] that can lift liquids ([[water]] or [[magma]]) from one level below onto the same [[Z-level]] as the pump.

One side is the "input" side which accepts dwarven labor from the [[pump operator]], and which obtains the fluid that the machine will pump. The other side is the "output" side, which outputs the fluid being pumped. In previous versions of Dwarf Fortress, the input side showed up as a light-colored tile, and the output side was a dark-colored tile, which will likely be a method of differentiating the two sides that you will encounter in descriptions and illustrations. In v50 a screw pump's orientation will be displayed by clicking on the pump. In the premium edition of v50 Dwarf Fortress, a pump has detailed graphics, which visually shows the orientation of the pump. The input side has many gears, and the output side has jutting pipes. |
The direction you want the fluid to travel must be chosen at the time of construction. Pumping only occurs in a straight line, and involves a total of 4 tiles in a row - 1) the liquid source, two for the pump, and the output (details below, under Construction). | The direction you want the fluid to travel must be chosen at the time of construction.
