Will water falling down a chute get sucked in through an active screwpump?

[i2amroy]

It can be yes. I have heard some reports that it's possible for the screw pump to "miss" the water if it doesn't take at the right time though, so be careful.

Perfect. Thank you.

I can't see how an active screw pump could possibly miss a falling liquid - pumps attempt to move liquids once every frame, and liquids only move once every 16 frames on average.

Neither can I, but I've heard several reports that they have, which is why I included the warning. It's probably nothing, but I'd rather give an unneeded warning then have somebody end up with their fort flooded.

I'll give it a try and report my results.
