LZ96 Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Hi all, I'm trying to do some water cooling builds and realized that the flow control is not working for the liquid valve..(trying to get it send out 10g/s instead of 10kg/s) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kabrute Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 priority toggle ^^^^^^ then just wait. also be sure that you put a break in the line for the valve to bridge across otherwise it may get bypassed or cause other unusual effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LZ96 Posted July 4, 2018 Author Share Posted July 4, 2018 there's no priority toggle for the valve thought.. also, what bridge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kabrute Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 you can put a valve here between these lines, but putting one here is pointless if you dont put a break in the line for the valve to bridge. the valves don't get individual priorities, in your priorities menu there is a Toggle setting, set it to the highest ^ could you do me a favor and turn on your plumbing overlay and take another screen shot with the mouse hovering over the valve in question?

Neotuck Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 If it's the one he has selected in the screenshot then he shouldn't have to worry about bypass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try simple things - send one dupe manually to this point. Possibly path blocked somehow. After that, build couple of doors, set restrictions on door to allow only entrance, but not leaving and send dupe there. Allow all tasks for this dupe. If he will stand near valve and be idle - then this is bug, report it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auto-priority will set Toggle to the middle -- not high, not low. You need to manually set "Toggle" to high priority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KittenIsAGeek Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Just now, LZ96 said: auto priority sets dupes to highest from the jobs tab Correct. "Toggle" is not on any job list. Or at least, it wasn't. Which means unless you set the Toggle priority yourself, it will stay at normal priority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KittenIsAGeek Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Just now, LZ96 said: oohhhh i see what you mean now.. thanks You bet. Basically, because "Toggle" isn't a part of any particular dupe job, it will always be the last thing picked from the list. The 'block the dupe from leaving' trick above basically got rid of any of the conflicting tasks that were keeping the dupe busy. The easier alternative is to set the "Toggle" priority for your dupes to high or very high. Then when you change a valve, they'll run to adjust it.

I think someone should add a post just saying this, because there is a thread like this one almost once a week haha. One of the first things I do upon starting a game is setting toogle at max for all incoming dupes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
