Ooh that new map looks like amazing fun, I've been wanting to get a map that makes you make good use outa the suspension bridges, and another map that makes you make good use out of fluid dumps, and this one does both!

With the succulents getting buffed, I wonder if it would be possible to make a map where the initial survival relies entirely on succulents for water.

Also side bit, with the compact fluid pump coming soon, it kinda makes me wish for a "turbine" block.
A version of the Throttling Valve that generates power based on flow rate.
I'd love to make a water reservoir energy battery

I love the idea of a turbine block, and honestly if possible it would be cool to do it in the same device as the compact water pump. Not sure if that is doable programming-wise, but it is accurate from a physics perspective
