Messed-Up Plumbing

I've never had any issues like that, and my bases tend to end up with fairly intricate piping systems around cycle 250 and on.

 

Could you upload your save file so that people can have a look at it?

By the sounds of it, hes not segmenting pipe where he should. like hes probably running the pipe thru both the input and the output, when the pipe should terminate at the input of a device and a new line of pipe should be run from the output.  

I have problems with the liquid not flowing in the direction of gravity (aka direction of stuff falling) going down. Even if I plan ahead to vent the pipe using a valve but still the water does not go down. I think the bug is that some equipment can only have one source of flow, and that is very stupid. Fluid dynamics are not followed that well in the game yet. I was a nuclear mechanic in the navy.

I started a new game and the water pumping problems haven't repeated, so I'm not sure what the issue was the first time around.

As for the pipe bridges, I had ensured that everything was flowing in the correct direction, even demolishing and reconstructing to be sure that was the case, so I'm quite confused about that. In my new game I haven't yet tried to use the bridges, because of the previous experience, but when I give it a shot, if the issue persists, I'll upload my save file.

For the time being, starting over seems to have done the trick.

Thanks.

It matters how you have your system set up. If you have multiple Pumps on one line its possible to have them fight against each other when it comes to flow because they are always pushing the liquid even when disabled so to not have liquid sent back to them. You have to set it up where the Pumps all try to flow in the same direction.

Not exactly the pump doing the pumping. The pump only places stuff in the storage.
The conduit dispenser attached to the storage is the one responsible for providing locomotion to the conduit.

As for why gravity does nothing, the pipe is filled with a vacuum and it's stronger than the pull of gravity. Happy?

And to the OP, if the water is dancing between 2 farm tiles you have another input trying to move the water going to the second tile back to the first because there is now space behind it.
 

Get the next size down and use the extension pieces. get your pipework altered or take rad back and swap it for a shorter one. Chrome elbows are an option.

Rad valve extenders would come in handy. Some people have them extended under the floor boards. 

I have the DIY experience extending the water pipes. I had to extend the pipe from my small kitchen sink to new washer location. I had confusion soldering 1/2" solder run or split "split" the 3/4 into two 1/2" runs.

I sought expert tips from plumbing repair services in toronto in getting it done. I finally settled for 3/4.
