pressure questions

What does affect what?

I made some tests and i´m confused. The ingame description doesn´t fit to what it do.

The water filter doesn´t push the pressure, but lower the duration cost by 20% each.

The pipe pressure seems only affect the belt speed and the max. pipe length. But no affect on drills/harvester?
I tested with T3 pipes and all 3 pumps, logic weight and counter for results after drill and again after harvester, some minutes work. The only affect is that if the pressure is below 100% the drills are slower, harvester seems doesn´t affect.

But it doesn´t do anything other with 200, 300 or 400 pressure. Sure, the T1 have a hard limited input pressure, but even the T2 or T3 doesn´t affect of different pressure between 100% and 400%. Only the T3 drills get a massiv speed up with the T3 pressure booster (over 500%), its suddenly 4 time faster. T2 drill with 4 T2 booster on a T2 pipe doesn´t change anything.

Whats the question? lol.
You tested it all, you see what affects what. So what did you want to know?

Water filter never had any effect on pressure, and it has nothing to do with "duration cost". It reduces the damage to drills and harvesters (and other filters) by 20% each. Meaning 5 filters make your equipment past filters immune to water damage.

Other than that, all else you posted could be true. Will test later myself.

okay, sorry. The question is, can some confirm it? Or do i oversee something?
All threads about pressure, i´ve read here on steam and reddit, say that higher pressure speed up drills and harverster. And the item descriptions doesn´t fit good or just wrong.

But my own tests and watch say others. Its only necessary to hold pressure about 100% and the T3 drills/booster exception.

The pressure tank and T1/2 booster are quite a bit useless with good T-pipes useage its almost impossible to lower the pressure under 100% with T2 pumps. Only if you force it.

I mean with durability cost the water damage.

Water Pressure has multiple effects. Some Equipment is definitely affected by Water Pressure, other Equipment is less obvious. In particular:

• Conveyor speed is affected by pressure. If the Water Pressure drops too low under a Conveyor, it may stutter or not move at all.
  
• Miners are affected by pressure. In the early game, after I had 3 Miners on my line, I noticed the Miners closest to the nearest Pressure Tank were faster than those further away. When I started my Mine up, the Miners were mostly in sync, but, over time, I noticed the Miners further away from a Pressure Tank slowly getting out of sync and slower than those closer to the Pressure Tank.
  
• Gem Compressors do not seem too impacted by Water Pressure, so long as it's a non-zero pressure. Similarly with the Logic Saw Hook and the Gem Polisher Hook.

That's a summary of what I've identified since the v2.2 Prospector Update came out.

The miner part at start could because the T1 pipe start with 100% pressure. Like i wrote, below 100% the miners are slower, in line every miner has 3% per pipe part lower pressure. But above 100% there is no change anymore.
