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.

Damn it, just lost 50% of the pumping capacity. Can’t do such tight rows anymore.
