Wrong irrigation with polluted water

[Gloob]

Hi,

If you look at the screenshot, you'll see that my mealwood is asking for polluted water. So I made a liquid pipe system with polluted water but the mealwoods are still unhappy, saying there is still a wrong irrigation. What's wrong ?

[Risu]

Did you try sending a dupe to empty the storage?
 

[Gloob]

I actually don't really know how to do that...?

There is probably normal water stuck in the hydro tile. You'll need to empty storage by selecting the tile and clicking empty storage down by deconstruct.

So, indeed, there was water in tiles even if it was written no liquit in it. I know it because when I deconstruct farm tiles, a bottle of water dropped. So I guess it's a little bug.

Thx for the answers

I don't see "no liquid" in your screenshot. I see it saying there is the wrong liquid in it.

The farm tiles are the ones with the liquid storage by the way.

Still a farm, still a tile.

It was not my intention to be snarky, I misunderstood what you were trying to convey and wished to offer clarity.

But I wish to make clear that a "Farm Tile" is an actual named option that looks extremely similar to the "Hydroponic Farm" and while the "Hydroponic Farm" does accept water, the "Farm Tile" does not. So I wish to avoid confusion for people not familiar with the distinction.

[Risu]

I usually just refer to them as "Dry Farm Tile" and "Wet Farm Tile".

On the screenshot, I selected the mealwood, that's why you don't see it

He is saying the plant's error message indicating it is getting the wrong irrigating not no irrigation.

Literally the error message is saying, "This plant is being fed the wrong nutrients. It requires: - Polluted Water: 40kg/Cycle.  A dupe should be sent to empty the storage."

Yeah, wrong use of words, sorry. But what I wanted to say is not :

but more like:

even if there is polluted water on the screen, and not water (brown circles on screenshot).

Anyway, I understand myself ^^

Thx

The polluted water you see pushed to the tile, The brown circles, is not necessarily the water that is held by the tile.  You can only see what the tile is holding by clicking on the Hydroponic Farm tile and looking at what is says under contents. If it says water, then the reason the plant believes it is getting the wrong irrigation is because the tile cannot take up the polluted water being piped to it because it already contains clean water, which is the wrong type of irrigation. In the same pane where you would see the contents there is an option at the bottom to "Empty Storage".  Clicking that will send a Dupe over to clear out the storage and allow the tile to take up the polluted water and allow the plant to be irrigated.
