Factorio Forums

I've play Factorio for only a few months and my bother told me that the water will eventually drain out. As much as I would like to believe my brother, I can't help but think this is false. I only had one world and my entire base is being powered one little pump in a very small lake [i'm talking like a 5x5 pond] and it hasn't budged a bit. If some one can confirm this to be true or false, I would be most thankful.

Since you are in a subforum about the wiki.. why not look there: https://wiki.factorio.com/Offshore_pump

Thanks, I wasn't sure where to look honestly. i was looking at the wrong page.

Where were you looking?

Basically, this makes sense because these small ponds actually go down to the planets core
The reason why you do not realise is because the fish in these bodies of water keep dying, reducing the depth
This makes sure that the surface water level never drops

Gaming logic!
