ProfMembrane Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Currently it seems like the only way to get mopped/bottled water into a system is by making a small reservoir around a bottler and putting a pump in it, wouldn't it make sense if there were a water inflow valve like that you can pour bottled water into, rather than having to make a whole reservoir?

NathairNimheil Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 What do you mean by "into a system"? Like putting a direct bottle input port on the smelter?

Moggles Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 It wouldn't really make sense. Water pipes need to be pressurized and having an open valve would basically be a leak.

Arxeon Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 I recon he means a building that is a basin pump that will inject whatever is poured into it into a connected water pipe system.

Water pipes need to be pressurized and having an open valve would basically be a leak. Make the "drain" work only if you have 500kg of liquid pressure or above? And if there isn't that 500kg of liquid pressure the valve starts to act wonky (thus, having a drawback compared to a pump) That should work for most reservoir designs...

Skrivener Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 It should just be a manual pump: a dupe attaches a bottle, and has to pump it into the pipe. Pretty much the same way bottles are filled by a manual pump. Sounds great to me.

Chipplyman Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 A gas version would also serve as a (currently missing afaik) way to get bottled gas back into circulation after a plumber empties pipes. Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/94469-can-there-be-a-water-pipe-inflow-valve/#findComment-1073489 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProfMembrane Posted August 10, 2018 Author Share Posted August 10, 2018 Yes, basically, like either a manual pump that allows them to pump it into a pipe, or allow water to be poured into a machine like it is for plants.

heckubis Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 try pouring gas on your car to see if it fills the tank. although i agree it would be nice but its the nature of the game to have to build these things ourselves. we are the ones in charge of coming up with the solutions to these problems. Originally we didnt even have the manual pumps and dupes would wander around sucking up mgs of water endlessly trying to feed the plants., then it was on us to build sinks and reservoir near those needed locations to try to save time.

chemie Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 You should have water being pumped somewhere so not hard to require you to put the bottle emptied there. Remember, we used to not even have an emptier....

Kabrute Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 they can, build a bottle emptier above a tank, install a pump. There is a huge difference between filling a cistern and putting that liquid into a line.

Sasza22 Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 I don`t see why this shouldn`t be possible. Yes we can do it with a bottle emptier and a pump but it`s power and space consuming. I can imagine a simple 2 tile structure that would make sense as a bottle-to-pipe transfer.

heckubis Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 thats the thing its a bad slope for the game its stuff like that then we get an update and the game is fallout shelter. no trying to develop a working system to solve a problem there is a blueprint for the room/machine,, no thought or discovery required. may as well ad blue prints for hydrogen boilers and the like. the game is great with the making you do it yourself the more its automated the less involved in the game you are. the less things people have to implement themselves the more of a screen saver it becomes. next they will ask for a steam input valve on the steam engine Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/94469-can-there-be-a-water-pipe-inflow-valve/#findComment-1073756 Share on other sites More sharing options...

heckubis Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 iv seen toilets all the pipes leading to the reservoir are in fact pressurized the water tank on it is just a holding area held of by another pressure valve controlled usually by a ballist/floater that shuts off pressure to the tank Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/94469-can-there-be-a-water-pipe-inflow-valve/#findComment-1073767 Share on other sites More sharing options...
