Can someone explain why this single pipe is blocked? I'm a noob.

As zzKratoszz said you have the outputs and inputs the wrong way round.

You have connected your clean water supply to the waste outputs and your waste water vent is connected to your clean water inputs.

Also while you are redoing the pipework you should take the opportunity to change it so that pipes don't directly run through the other buildings connections. You can run into issues doing that.

A more reliable approach is to connect it up something like this using small branches to feed the buildings from a main line. There are more tricks using bridges but this is a simple and reliable approach.

I'm building a robot, here a little tour :D ...I dont do toilets and critters anymore, they take too much cpu time.

Currently, I'm using something like 8% of my total x10.66 map size

Damn Babba absolutely impessive project you have there. Do you burn all the petrolium you make and if so why? Do you need that much  power? Do you bother making food? And could I see the temperature overlay? Sorry for all the questions but you made me verry curious.

and now I need a wow button, Damn......

Thank you Kabrute, much appreciated :)

BTW Laying down a line of pipe in debug currently takes 4 seconds per line (i7 7700k@5.2 Ghz # x10.66 map size. 90% of the map is filled non simulated Neutronium, something like 15% of the map is visible in the pipe screenshots ), so as Im laying down pipes I normally watch a movie on another screen haha ! In my map its mainly the pipe stuff which seems to have lots of game speed optimization potential for Klei. I try to avoid automation and I dont play with critters, to enjoy cpu game speed on the things I like most to build and run.

Yes, I normally put up 20 kW station blocks, which then only feed a certain build section. I like to play open, so I work with a few basins ( Oil,Petro,Water ), but also with the general map ground...Having also water and co2 and other gases sink down or rise up. I recently changed to play with the debug direct build mode ( debug mode ctrl+F4 ), as construction by dupes started to take too much cpu load. Currently, I play with 80 dupes, which mainly operate the refineries.

I used to play the game normal for 2000 cycles with 200-400 dupes, but the game got to a state where building things would take 1000 times longer than playing in debug. Then I started to play with food and germs switched off for long time in debug, having the dupes build everything with debug resources. Since recently I dont let the dupes build anything anymore, that takes too much cpu load. My play style :p

The base runs at something between -100 to -200 celsius, as there is a section with 50 or more open roaming AETN`s. Currently only the 50 or so refineries generate heat, but they are surrounded with AETN`s in a sealed room. The Petroleum waterfall is hot and also sealed off. This current and final map of mine has been 500 hours work in debug with infinite resources, Im still building the basics. My playstyle is more like playing a god game, I enjoy the game much more this way.

Maybe I find the time later to upload a heat map ;)
