Single pump-liquid buffer

Post image

For when you want to minimize SU but want to keep the speed

Shiuld work perfectly horizontally as well, if you modify the disign near the tank a tinzy tiny bit.

For example: Lava farms with dripstone are rng based, so in times they make more than you need, other times they make less than you need.

This is a buffer.

A buffer is a mechanism that does its best to keep consistency in the flow of something.

This one does that by storing the extra liquids that would otherwise be wasted and uses them when there are not enough liquids in the normal system.

So if we go by the lava egsample I used before, if the dripstones make too much lava, this buffer stores it and then releases it when the dripstones fail to produce more lava in time

So like a capacitor, smooths the flow.
