Zarquan Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 You have conflicting paths from green to white. Water from the pump at top is pushing the water in the wrong direction. Destroy it and everything should work. One way to think about the way plumbing works in this game is that packets get pushed by green towards white. If there is both green and white in both directions on a pipe, it will cause problems, kind of like a tug of war over the water.

Sasza22 Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Basically you need to make sure pumps are on one end of the system and recievers are on the other. Having pumps on both sides makes it work wonky or not work at all.. As a side note, are those mealwood plants in the hydroponic farms? Those don`t use water (but if the plumbing worked correctly water would still go there). I guess you are planning of doing brislte berries there right?

Hey thanks a lot! it looks like I can only have one pump working on the same pipe!

Yes, those are hydroponic farms, also thanks a lot my system is working again with only one pump per pipe!

You can have more than 1 pump, but there can be no inputs between the pumps. Meaning if you laid pipe down from the top pump to the bottom pump and had the water join up there, it would work. 3 hours ago, Neotuck said: a pump sends 10kg per second liquid though a pipe the pipe can only handle 10kg per second It's pointless to add more than one pump I have to disagree with you on this one a bit. I have 2 major situations where I have 2 liquid pumps go to one length of pipe: Uninterrupted flow when there isn't always water there (geyser) and prioritizing a pump to empty a pond like I suspect the OP was partially trying to do. I have another situation where I have above capacity pumps going in to one pipe, where I draw gas off 2 backbone pipes and have them merge to increase airflow (filling in the gaps), but this only really applies to gases in my experience.

A fair point, if the source doesn't always provide 10kg/s liquid then having multiple sources can make up the difference but yes gases can be merged with 2 pumps as they draw 500g/s while the gas pipes can handle 1kg/s Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/103919-pipe-blocked/#findComment-1166542 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zarquan Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Just now, Neotuck said: but yes gases can be merged with 2 pumps as they draw 500g/s while the gas pipes can handle 1kg/s What I mean is I technically had around 6 pumps which ended up connected to 1 pipe. This worked because I was siphoning gases out of these pipes to go to vents, which meant by the time they merged, either all the lower areas were fully oxygenated (meaning the other pumps should shut down anyway) OR the 3 pipes feeding in to the 1 pipe result in gaps being filled and a higher throughput.

I have pipe bridges pulling gas out of the 2 main "back bone" pipes, but then at the top, I merge them together. But if the left pipe has gaps from the vents pulling air, then the right pipe can pick up the slack and provide a constant 1kg/s flow of O2 to the top area.

What I was saying is that that feature isn't what I was talking about when I was talking about many gas pumps on one line. Here, I have 4 gas pumps supplying one line, which is was related to your assertion earlier that pumps exceeding the maximum capacity of a pipe was pointless. I could see a construct like this existing with water pipes as well, but I like my more centralized air production.
