Gas Valve problem

[Atomico]

Hello, i have a problem with gas valve.. i build it and set at 0/50/100, but nothing happen.. it leave pass always 1000g.

As you can see in the image if i put the mouse i read this. But i am waiting from hours and nothing.

 

Another question:

if i have this simple config:

If my left pipe is blocked it always "stole" gas, and only 1 of 2 gas square go bottom. Why?

For your first problem you need to prioritize one of your dupes for toggle errands. Otherwise they easily dismiss this task for other matters. In some situations the valve might also not be reachable but it doesnt seem to be the case here.

 

For your second problem you need to be aware that a pipe intersection will always alternate between all exits, even if they are blocked. At the very least you will have a reduced flow, if not unexpected results.

If you want to branch just a fraction of your pipes contents with a valve you need to place a white input field onto your normal pipe (the input field can be the one of the valve or of a different pipe device (e.g. bridge)). Such a device will ONLY take contents out of the pipe, if it can send them to its green exit.

So in your case you can either place the valve directly onto your vertical pipe or replace your horizontal pipe with a bridge.
