alexish63 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Hey guys! I am new to this game, and to forums in general, so I hope I'm not repeating an existing topic, but I was wondering about liquid transportation. When playing, I often find several small pools of water or polluted water that are fairly far from my base, and I don't see any technology available to transport it back to my drinking and wastewater treatment tanks other than building temporary generators and pumps / mini-pumps with elaborate piping. With gases it's the same procedure, but there is the canister filler, so my dupes can set it up and then transport canisters back, and I only need a small localized temporary ventilation system. I was hoping there could be a technology to do the same with liquids; either pump them to a bottler or have dupes gain an ability to bottle liquids in pools greater than floor spills. Then those can be transported to a bottle emptier, so that way I don't have to have my dupes waste time building a long piping system and then destroying it later. Thank you for reading!

Misca Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Alexish, Actually, manually transporting liquids is much easier than gases. All you need to do is to build a pitcher pump over the liquid source. Then build a bottle emptier where you want the liquid dumped. You can select the liquid accepted by the bottle emptier. If you enable "Auto Bottle" and set the priorities high enough, your duplicants will continuously move the liquid. No power is needed for any of these buildings, and both are very low on the research tree. Finally, if there is only a small amount of liquid left (less than 100kg, I think), use the mop tool to mop it up and put it in a bottle. Then that will also be taken to the bottle emptier and drained. Hope that helps, Misca Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/119960-liquid-transportation-question-suggestion/#findComment-1352797 Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexish63 Posted July 11, 2020 Author Share Posted July 11, 2020 I see, I did not realize that intermediate step of building a pitcher pump at the location, I don't know why that didn't occur to me. I really appreciate your explanation! It was comprehensive and easy to follow Thanks again!
