Water from pipe extraction counts negative in super computer.

Can confirm, have an asteroid basically trainwrecked as research has effectively halted. All supercomputers have the same problem -- deconstructed, reconstructed, shuffled orders, adjusted tasks, etc. Totally stalled.

Supercomputer uses 50kg of water per research point. Every pipe has 10kg of water. You need to have a dupe constantly empting pipes in order to have supercomputer working unobstructed (or have a pincher pump available and provide 200kg at once)

Nevermind, well, I fixed it. Perhaps the tooltip could be more clear? The pump had been obstructed.

To clarify, on adding water repeatedly, no additional research points were gained. Tried continuously extracting from pipes - issue persisted with no point gain.

Issue is not whether dupes can bring enough water - it's adding H2O actually instantly increases the amount of water needed - but only from pipes. Had no problem with pitcher pump available.
