The Advanced Pump is essentially an upgrade to the regular Pump. The biggest advantage over the regular Pump is that it removes both source blocks and flowing liquid, making the pumping less laggy. It also covers a much larger distance and depth. Liquiducts can be attached to its sides to extract the liquid. The Advanced Pump works especially well in the Nether.

In order for this to work, it needs Mining Pipes in the uppermost right slot, a supply of EU, and somewhere to send the liquid.

The pump, while functioning in a similar way to a redpower pump, has been know to encounter some issues for example in the nether where draining a large square (thereby leaving sheer lava walls) is not uncommon.

Mining Pipe can be retrieved by using an Miner placed over the existing pipe. Make sure the miner has an adjacent chest before powering the Miner as it will spit the pipe onto the ground. It's also good to note that the Miner is LV (32 EU/t) and not MV (128 EU/t) like the Pump.

Recipe

This recipe is a bit flexible. It can use Buildcraft Pumps in place of the IndustrialCraft version. Additionally, the Advanced Machine Block can be replaced with either a Steel or Titanium Machine Hull.
