Acquisition

Usage

When placed while in Gadget Mode, it will will automatically begin pumping for resources over the course of 12 hours, and when complete will perform a dance animation until demolished or harvested. It will despawn when harvested.

It is the lowest tier extractor of its type, providing only 4-8 resources per harvest.

Its drill and apiary equivalents are the Novice Drill and the Novice Apiary.

Tips

• Due to the low cost of the Novice Pumps, they may be a suitable candidate for creating gadgets in bulk, for the gadget creation requirement for the Treasure Crackers.
• The Advanced Pump unlocks 5 days after purchasing the Novice Pump blueprint.
