liquid valve issue

[SusanMcO]

What am I doing wrong?

I have a liquid value, and no matter what I set it to, it decides how much it's going to let through. 

 

 

Here's the liquid view so you can see that the valve is set to the right direction

What's the issue? Looks like it's doing what it is designed to do.

No, it doesn't matter what I set it to - if I set it to allow 30 g/s of water, it allows 500 g/s.  If I set it to allow 10kg/s, it allows 500 g/s

Upload the save if you want a better look at it. Judging by the screenshot only 500 g/s is being requested.

I'm trying one thing to fix it, but you can see in the hover over on the valve that 5.3 kg/s is being requested

Broken pipe issue.  Fixed that and now it's regulating normally.  *sheepish*

I suggest make the pipe abbysalite where the area is too hot or too cold, since water/liquid tend changing shape due extreme temperature and could broke the pipe. At least you can rest and forget them when using abbysal pipe

Dont forget liquid bridge with abbysallite too

Yep, I realized that belatedly *L*

one dupe can only reach 4 tiles high 2 tiles width , so maybe the valve switch is located 3 tiles away from the ladder , they cannot change the flow rate i think .
