Irrigation Water Use

From what I can see in your screenshot I can only assume the planters are consuming 5 kg/s.
Are you sure you didn't wait long enough for the system to saturate?
 

wait long enough ? I've replanted those boxes like 5 times, i just kinda used it anyway even though it wasn't working right

I think i've had that setup for like 50+ cycles and only the first two ever got any polluted water

Still amazed that you haven't read the rest of the thread.

Okay like Lifegrow said I looked at the final piece of pipe connected behind the pump itself, and it said that the pipe was empty.

So I waited a day with the pump stopped and surprise... half the pipe was empty the other half was slowly being used by the hydroponic tile. So I presume that the flow indicated is a little incorrect but in the end it is correctly use I suppose ? But it's a relief to know that it will not empty my whole water tank.

Thank you Lifegrow.

You're very welcome, but @Risu said it before me :D

I think it's a bug, 8 plants can't use 10kg/s water!

I put a valve on my water to measure the average flow. This was for 32 Bristle Blossom tiles. It measured 1Kg/s give or take. That was with 3 tiles refusing to be irrigated.

What are you even talking, of course i read it.

I just reread it to try and see what you were talking about but your one sentence was too vague to understand what you're talking about

I have connected like this W->PP-PP-PP-PP-PP-PP-PP-PP-PP-PP-PP-PP-PP-PP-PP-PP- it barely reaches 8. I might connect them in series like water from top or something i don't know. It's just stupid now that it uses so much water.

A lot of the time you don't need to irrigate all your plants. Good yield is sustainable approach a lot of the time, and part irrigated and part not can be used in the rest of cases.

Yep i had my pipes wrong, It was just an animation so it seems that 32 tiles of PP use only about 1.5-2.0kg/s of polluted water. That is pretty much OK with me. Now to find way to convert polluted water to clean water without sand. :D

If you can condense polluted o2 into water, you can probably boil polluted water into o2. Probably want to look at this;

This. This is the basis of my colony at current.

Super Sweet Sleet Wheat - Plant a metric ton of seeds, either in planters or naturally in ice biomes (if you plant them naturally they take a little while longer to grow, but often give an excellent yield) and keep them cold either by leaving wheezeworts in place along with all the ice of the biome - or with a cooling system of gas.

Peachy Perfect Pincha Peppers - Good yield is more than enough due to the fact seeds are plentiful - plant a load of these in a gas heavy hot room and you'll be set.

Magnificent Maggoty Mealwoods - Plant them naturally and maintain gas pressure and 20degree temps for super easy excellent yields (this pretty much is the savior of my 300cycle ish current stream playthrough)

Beautiful Bulging Bristle Blossoms - A decent yield is essential if you intend to cultivate a big old crop of these - treat them gently and love them like a cool beer on a warm day ;)
