CupcakesNZombies Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 I can't seem to get them to correctly decrease the amount of liquid going through them. I've tried it in MULTIPLE places. Up next to the items I don't want to intake as much water, directly in front of the pump so the water goes almost instantly into it, and even a few tiles up and over. Tried multiple configurations of the pipes going in and out, but nothing. I get the animation that its working, the light goes on and off. But when I hover over it says "not pumping", and the water does not decrease. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I can get the gas valves to work great. These stupid liquid ones are being mean. Any help would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexRou Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 There is already liquid in the pipe, if its bigger than the set value it will not let anything through until there is space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMG. That worked! I just stopped the pump and let all the water leave that area. When I started it up again - BAM! Controlled liquid flow! This has been bothering me for some time now, and I KNEW it was something simple that I just couldn't see. Thank you so much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoke too soon. Worked for about 5 minutes. Went right back to "not pumping". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like you're not consuming enough water to warrant the valve then. If it's going to back up to the valve, then it's going to back up to the valve.
