tulkaz Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Liquid pump send 10kg of polluted water to hydroponic farm. Maybe because of 4 times of irrigation there's 9.9kg of polluted water remain. then at the next pipe, 9.9kg of polluted water have gone nowhere. Did I do something wrong?

Kasuha Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 That's a problem with pipes, if there are too many inputs on them the contents stops propagating. The liquid isn't disappearing and there's actually very little water flowing through that pipe although it looks impressive, but it doesn't get past the row of inputs. Don't draw the pipe through all inputs, instead make branches off the pipe, feeding 3-5 inputs each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually polluted water went through and irrigated all 9 farms for some cycles.(and water dot disappeared at the end of farm tile) I did havested 3 times, but after rebuilding pipe from liquid pump, pipe system isn't working as same as before.

Which means the polluted water over-pumped(or over-irrigated). If you're right, I don't understand how only a little water could remain. also if the water over-pumped and the pipe system isn't working properly because of too many intakes, shouldn't there be an explosion or flow reversal? not a sudden disappearance. sorry for my short english.

If the liquid moves through the pipe, the dots move but they don't have to represent whole contents of the pipe. If you have a pipe full of water (10 kg per segment) and use 5 g at the front, all the dots will move but it will only replenish that 5 g missing in the first segment, taking it from the end of the pipe, or last segment containing any water.

It's represents a packet! got it But still don't understand how did the water reached to the last farm tile at the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanoD Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 it can get bugged. it is really annoying. I have one row of 5 and last one dont work. I have other place were I have 11 in a row and it works just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanoD Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Sorry I might just be wrong. they might have updated or something. or just not realize it didnt work. I know it did work in the beginning. Because I got perfect yield from those plants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanoD Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Not sure how it works. one place only 4 tills in row works. other place I have 7 tiles that work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanoD Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 at the moment it seams 7 tiles is max in row. if you leave a gap were nr 8 and continue it works. it is probably how the game handles liquid pakets in pip that causing the issue. I dont think it is working as intended but feeding one and one will solve the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand it either, it's strange and yes, the number of inputs the water can pass changes over time. The rule of thumb is, don't put a pipe through too many inputs. Three to five is usually enough. Separate branch for each input is probably excessive but it definitely works too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
