Deep Badwater Pump

The Deep Badwater Pump is an Iron Teeth-exclusive building designed for extracting Badwater from contaminated sources at depths of up to 6 tiles, matching the deep-reach capability of the faction's Deep Water Pump. Unlocked at 750 Science Points, this specialized pump handles the corrosive properties of Badwater while accessing contamination pools that standard Badwater Pumps cannot reach. The extracted Badwater is stored as a good for processing in Centrifuges, where it is converted into Extract for use in advanced manufacturing and Advanced Breeding Pod operations.

The Deep Badwater Pump fills a critical niche in Iron Teeth water management, allowing the faction to harvest Badwater from deep contamination pools that accumulate in canyons, behind dams, and in natural basins. Since Iron Teeth lack the Folktails' Badwater Rig and Badwater Dome for source-level contamination control, the Deep Badwater Pump serves as their primary tool for large-scale Badwater extraction. Its 6-tile depth range ensures that even during temperate seasons when water levels are high and contamination sinks to the bottom, the pump can still reach and extract the Badwater efficiently.

Iron Teeth players should deploy Deep Badwater Pumps near their most significant Badwater contamination zones, ideally in areas where contaminated water pools deeply. Pair them with Centrifuges to create a production chain that converts environmental hazards into valuable Extract, supporting both your Advanced Breeding Pod operations and advanced industrial processes. For maximum efficiency, position Deep Badwater Pumps in dedicated contamination processing districts where extracted Badwater can be quickly routed to nearby Centrifuges. Combined with the Deep Water Pump for clean water extraction and the Deep Mechanical Fluid Pump for fluid redistribution, the Deep Badwater Pump completes the Iron Teeth's comprehensive deep-water infrastructure toolkit.
