enragedcamel Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 I have four duplicants and four showers. Every morning, they all head to the shower room. The first one goes through the shower process all the way. The others keep popping in and out of showers and never complete it.

Tobruk Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 You might have connected the showers in a straight pipe line and so others lack water, simply because the first one is consuming most of it and the leftovers are not sufficient for others.

shanemadden Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 How's your plumbing set up? If they're stopping mid-shower, it's likely that the output from one shower is run directly through the output of others, which causes the output of some dirty water to fail (it expects a completely empty pipe). Have them merge output pipes away from the green symbol, along these lines: Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/95090-showers-seem-broken/#findComment-1080125 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrrus Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 I've been seeing this too. Though it looks like they still progress the showering action. I think it's just the animation flickering/bugged Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/95090-showers-seem-broken/#findComment-1080128 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the exact same problem, dupes kept jumping from shower to shower. After some observing I found the issue, when the outgoing PW from the showers arrives at the intersection, it stops to check the junction before merging with the main output pipe line, and when it stops to check the junction, the shower stops working momentarily, forcing the dupe to switch to a different shower. The solution is to add a bridge, this makes the PW enter the junction fluidly (pun intended) and fixes the problem. The bridges are only needed for the showers, sinks and toilets don't need them.

KittenIsAGeek Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 The toilets benefit as well. Occasionally I've had a toilet flag as 'pipe blocked' when there was PW from another source passing by.

Sasza22 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 I had the same happen for natgas generators. If the output pipe merges with the other too fast it will keep stopping.
