Shower not using water and not produce polluted water

As you can see in the picture dupe is using shower but not consume any water. Water in the pipe is not flow and source of water is blocked using empty bridge down below. Pipe is connected to liquid tank earlier but I notice no polluted water came out so I check it and took pipe off and put bridge instead.

Save file: Factorio.sav

 


Steps to Reproduce
Nothing just load the save you will see it.



User Feedback


A developer has marked this issue as fixed. This means that the issue has been addressed in the current development build and will likely be in the next update.

In my opinion polluted water cannot flow because you connect two outputs together between two showers, when you should only connect from an output to an input (e.g. from a shower to a pipe leading directly to a liquid sewer; ofc you can connect from or to multiple outputs and inputs, respectively). You also should avoid putting inputs to inputs directly, just create a main pipe with some junctions for the whole system. Maybe I am wrong, but that's how I create my pipe systems and it works without problems, also regarding showers.

The dupe should not be able to use it though.

I have the same problem

Also check the output of sinks and lavatories, no germs!

Have you tried this with the latest preview branch?

Isn't that a good thing. ;)

No, considering fixed temperature output is one of the few 'official' methods of cooling.

The water coming out is hotter than than the base comfy temp of 20c. Anything that comes out of the shower is around 30-35(?)

However showers that do not use water is a good thing.
Hook up a pipe and you don't need to supply it. Yay. No water usage.

@LTLking - It's kind of hard to use PW->W conversion for cooling without a means of turning W->PW, and showers are up there in terms of how much PW they produce.

You can't connect pipes between machines in a line like that.  You have to branch to each one, otherwise if one starts outputting even a small amount of polluted water, as it flows past the output of the next machine, it won't output and stops working because its output pipe is not empty.  You have to branch the pipes and let them merge the smaller packets back together and keep the pipe at the output tile of the machine empty instead of always partially filled.

It does work in older version like that. Alpha version of the update.
It's just the new version.

Notice the dupes are taking a shower. Means the shower knows the water is there but the water is just not being used.

It hasn't worked like that at least since CU.

I haven't had a problem with it. I also don't sign into beta testing, only live branch.

Me neither.  Been playing since CU and found it works this way and seen everyone on the forums saying it works this way.  I don't know if it used to work differently but that is how it has worked at least for the last 3-4 months that I have been playing, and not seen any comments on the forums indicating it used to work any differently.  In fact, I think the first youtube videos I watched before CU came out and I picked up the game, they said as much.
