Lavatory not working?


Recommended Posts

I got to cycle 40-45 with 15 duplicants, everything was going smoothly, until I decided to switch from outhouses to lavatories. I set up a pump in clean water, piped it up to the lavatories, and piped the outgoing water to a poluted water tank that i was going to use to irrigate my pepper plants.

 

I had everything built, piped, and powered, but people were still using the old out houses and not the lavatories for some reason. so i destroyed the out houses. but they still wouldn't use the lavatories. i had 15 duplicants making a "mess" everywhere. they were all walking in it. getting soggy feet. now they all have hypothermia. still nobody will use a lavatory.

 

I looked at my pump, and for some reason it said blocked pipe, even though i could see the water in the pipes going all the way to the lavatories. How do you use these things?

 

I thought maybe I had the pipes set up wrong, so i switched then inputs and outputs, but that only confirmed that what i originally had set up was correct.

I just figured it out. I had a water pipe bridge backwards. I wasn't paying attention when I built it because it makes no sense at all for a pipe bridge to have an in and an out. it should work in both directions.

In fact, the pipe bridge is also very useful as a one-way valve. There are many cases where you want to have liquids or gasses flow in a certain direction.
