By the way, how many changes do we considered so far to how pumps worked in CR? Given that there's always a lot of confusion about the topic with newbies, we might think about a few simplifications.
What just sprang to my mind: How about we remove "output" pipes? So you can only ever connect input pipes to the pump? We could simply have the pump as the place where you fill barrels - it doesn't really make much sense in arbitrary containers... It would make it a lot harder to just pump stuff into nothingness as well. And lastly, this would force you to put the pumps where you want to put the liquid - which means pumping water to the surface forces you to put the pump into a less guarded place.
