Water House and Green House? Auto Irragate?

[BoneDog]

I have built my water house and powered it. I built the green house right next to the water house because it said it would auto irrigate if close to the water house? I then ran a pipe from the water house to the inside of the green house? No matter what there is no water getting to the planters? What do I have to do??????

Hello

You have to connect the pipe to the back of the greenhouse, there is a special connection on the outside.

Inside the greenhouse? The connector for the water is outside on the back of the green house.
and of course, you do have enough power going to the waterhouse. and the power is all turned on? Sometimes it turns off due to low power.

Even before there was plumbing, the water house (with the power turned on) would automagically water crops in a greenhouse that was not in the immediate vicinity. Now it makes sense to build them close to one another simply because you have to craft pipes to connect them. The first time I tried the plumbing feature, I ran a pipe from the waterhouse and simply dropped the other end in the greenhouse. I didn't realize that the pipe connector was on the outside rear wall of the greenhouse. The pipe ended up running right through the greenhouse and connecting to the pipe connector from the inside. It worked, too. The powered waterhouse watered the crops in the greenhouse, but it was very unsightly. So I did eventually fix it by removing the pipe and connecting new pipes around the outside of the greenhouse which connected to the greenhouse's pipe connector from the outside. As the previous poster already indicated, the waterhouse needs to be powered up in order for it to irrigate crops in the greenhouse or provide water to a sink. In early game when power is scarce, you can keep the waterhouse powered off and only turn it on for a couple of seconds a few times a day to water the greenhouse. Later in the game when you have plenty of power and loads of batteries to store power in you can leave the waterhouse turned on all the time.
