Calura Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 WHERE is this water coming from? This area has been set up for a while. No changes to it. I have the mesh tile at the top to let cooler air come in. But I highlighted that tile above it to show it's just granite. Granite doesn't melt. And water doesn't leak diagonally through tiles. The pipes have not been removed or replaced recently (which I know also causes water leakage). This is a complete mystery to me. This area keeps filling up with water and killing the plants. You can see the bottles at the bottom where I have cleaned up the water before. But where does the water come from???

Saturnus Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Most likely from ice that melted when you built it. Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/122190-someone-help-me-figure-this-out/#findComment-1376634 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRup Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 If it's about cooler air, a metal tile would at least be more effective than a mesh tile. Then again, a combination of light gas + heavy gas below it is usually a requirement for escher waterfalls. I see you have a mixed hydrogen+CO2 environment... Diagonal pumping is not unheard of in this game. (Bypass pump thread) Again, metal tiles or diamond window tiles are better at conducting heat than just the granite above the mesh tile. Of course, it should be a specific combination of different types of liquids falling on each other for the pump to work. So, if there's hydrogen in the space above the mesh tile you got yourself a suspect there. 15 minutes ago, Saturnus said: Most likely from ice that melted when you built it. I vote this... It's the simplest explanation.

Yunru Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 When bottled liquid freezes, the bottle disappears. If it then melts again, flood.

THAT MAKES THE MOST SENSE!!! Apparently the others didn't read about the bottles being there from when I already cleaned it up once before. So it was *already* cleaned up when all of this was built, and had no chance to drop more... except what you said about the bottles disappearing when the liquid freezes. I'm actually already in the process of adding a space heater on the right side. The left side was initially too warm.

suicide commando Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 I got a theory... Above the mesh tile in the ceiling is a granite tile, but above that is a tile made of ice. It could possibly be that said ice is melting, causing some of it to become liquid, which has nowhere to go, so teleports through the granite into the mesh tile and falls down into your farm.

As far as I know, the only way that would happen is if the granite was flaking the ice. I do not believe solids can flake other solids. I'm not saying it can't, I'm just saying I have never seen it before. If the OP could look at the mass of that ice tile before an after the water appears, that would certainly be helpful.

Warm granite tiles can transfer heat to ice tiles next to them, causing them to melt, so that's no issue. The only iffy bit about my theory is that the melting ice teleports it's water through the granite. If the granite was next to the ice tile, with open air underneath, it would definitely be the case.

Yunru Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 You can see ice in the water where it's refrozen, it's definitely cold enough to break bottles that way.
