Plant in Hydroponic farm complains about lack of irrigation even though the pipe does have it

click the farm tile itself then click empty contents bet its got clean water in it

Having same problem, nothing wrong in pipes nor farm.

Whole row was built in latest update, older farms works flawlessly.

Yes, that's it. However, in that case the bug is that this is rather confusing. The mouse-over tooltip only says "irrigation" in red, and the plant has "irrigation" checkbox in requirements red, for which the tooltip says "6.6g of liquid is currently available".

 

Don't branch the pipes. Every time you branch a pipe it splits the delivery speed by 50%. Use a continuois snake formation through all the tiles.

I can't say it's the cause .. let's see my images .. I have three rows of hydrofarms, below line was added as last and works without any issues for several cycles.

Top two are broken. Every time I'll add hydrofarm on second spot, it got broken. If I remove it, whole line works ok.

This should put enough liquid on your sleet wheat to take care of your problem, you end up running out of water because as is you are barely supplying enough to irrigate the farms.  You found your current tipping point in those 2 plants, and yes pipe branching is your problem, sorry to say

As for the OP I have this reference for the admin to look into..... waterseed, you know what I'm talking about, would WaterSeed interfere with DirtyWater?

Thanks for showing me this up. Understand .. my base sucks at many levels, but it's my first game and now it's about refactoring it from scratch or simply starting from the beginning. Well, I've chose to continue and live in hell

However, I think pipe branching works different way in last patch, didn't it? Or I didn't noticed? Still, it doesn't work as expected from my POV. As if you are merging two pipes together, it's common that content get mixed and total capacity is above max, both pipes get blocked. However, splitting works more like switch. It pumps 100% to single or another one. If selected output is blocked, source is blocked and second output gets nothing.

I would rather expect behaviour in way that it select all possible ways from crossing, so 50%/33% (2 or 3 outputs) and if any way get's blocked, rest of gas/liquid go proper way.

Using bridges to solve this issue seems more like using glitch to solve game poorly designed feature (or most probably not so good optimalization).

The snaking pipe method seems to fix the problem for me too.

I've this issue too, I needed to connect branch of not connected pipes 2 per 2 farm tiles and that fixed it

How it currently seems to work is that the building will attempt to pull a fluid packet from the pipe, if it fails to find a packet it'll complain it has no irrigation and how it rechecks for a packet can be quite random...

a cheap fix is just to do this 

generally I'll advice to make your piping branch more to insure water is delivered to everything in a much more even matter

Sorry, I do not understand what you mean.

its not for you, sorry, its for the devs

I just witnessed this bug happen.   Check my save.  Only some of the berry plants on the top row stop getting water when they were getting water before.  I'm able to work around the bug and get them water by branching individually to each plant.  Before that I tried a few different things and ended up deconstructing everything and starting over with the same results.

I have the same issue and I don't see why we should run individual pipes into each hydroponic tile... The bug is random, some water gets through certain tiles. Even more bizarre is when I branched just before the hydroponic farm the water stopped going there...
