A powered moisture pump will slowly remove shallow water and other marshy tiles up to a radius of 6.9 tiles. The pump's radius will expand roughly 1 tile every 8.7 days — the entire radius will be terraformed in 1 year (60 days). The pump instantly transforms the tile that it is installed on once it becomes powered. | A powered moisture pump will slowly remove shallow water and other marshy tiles up to a radius of 6.9 tiles.

Pumps can be built on [[bridge]]s, and will convert tiles under a bridge. However, the bridge must be removed before heavier objects can be placed on the land. | Pumps can be built on [[bridge]]s, and will convert tiles under a bridge.

Moisture pumps cannot be manually turned off, and must either have their power source disconnected or be deconstructed to stop them drawing power. Even after reaching their maximum radius, pumps will still draw power. |
