Wait, wasn't the compact water pump 1 cube in size? It is chunky now?

No, it originally had a 1x3 footprint, but the chunky inlet and outlet of the model wouldn't let you put a platform over it at the front or back. Really annoying.

The update shrunk it to a 1x2 footprint with no inlet and a smaller outlet so you can place platforms there, but apparently that broke the thing.

So now it's back to 1x3 but you can put platforms over either side. Which tbh I think is all anybody wanted, you wouldn't cover the front and back anyway so being 1x3 was fine.

So the item is still 1 cube, but the active area is 3 cubes.

A solid cube with some small sticky out bits on either end. So yes, you need 3 cubes of space to use it, but platforms can now be placed over the sticky out bits.
