Acid farm doesnt work when offline

[Jarvis]

- Water pumps that were supposed to pump polluted water collect 4 stacks of polluted water inside the pump instead of transferring the contents to the connected storage tank.
- Osmosis water purifier that were purifying polluted water produce pure water instead of impure acid.

I don't see anyone talking about this. Any idea why this is happening and is there a workaround for this issue?

I did more checks. The waterpumps 100% pump up polluted water. The watertanks are 100% filled with polluted water. And the Osmosis waterfilter is 100% filled with polluted water. And still it produces pure water.

Basicly if i would put my Osmosis waterfilter stand alone, no pipes connected, and fill it up with polluted water, it would produce pure water.

Im in a polluted zone, and since AUG29th patch, my Dirty Water to Purified Water osmosis only works while im online. When im offline, the osmosis will convert Dirty Water to Impure Acid!

Been working for me like a charm, i just had no idea i need to stack 1k impure acid into the barrel before i could add to the other slots lol. Fixed that up right quick. Acid land here we come!

Move your pumps to an area with pollution rating > 100

My water pumps are in an area with single digit values of pollution rating and they are working fine this season. Last season I had the same issue with offline filtering having polution ratings over 100 ...

Same bug here, dont know the fix... im online for 4 hours in game and 0 pure water, go offline *puff* pure water from 4x100 polluted water filled purifiers. Also, is my math mathing? A water pump pumps 4 polluted water in 5 minutes and an osmosis water purifier has 4 slots of polluted water and processes 2 per slot every 1 minute, meaning for 5 minutes it needs 4x2x5 = 40 polluted water. With that in mind, in theory, one osmosis purifier will run perfectly with 10 water pumps connected to it. Why are my 5 water pumps backed up with polluted water when connected to one osmosis water purifier. Is it related to the pure water bug? For more info, i have 4 sets of 5 water pumps and 1 osmosis water purifiers, is it because that is too many things? Meanwhile, i got 240 impure acid whilst typing this and only 1k when offline for 8+ hours (and lets not forget the mysterious ~500 pure water). Im gonna cry. Can anyone help?

After offline for a few hours, i find pure water in my storage tank again. One of the purifier has like 800 impure acid inside instead of transferring them to the storage tank through gravity. I'm tired. At this point its clear the farm just doesnt work when nobody is active/online in the area.

I can attest to this. this is happening to me too. Only when i am offline. Its broken.. put in a bug. I will too.

if you use electric eels they are the ones that don't work offline, I discovered it recently

If that would be the issue, we wouldnt pump anything at all. But we still pump dirty water instead of polluted water.

i had all these issues when i started my first one but i managed to get it all working without ever pumping water.

1. Dont put your pump in water, always on land
2. land spot also can behave like waterspots, getting polluted and dirty water together, move waterpumps and check 2-3 cycles, if it still pumps dirty water, move the waterpump to a slighly different location, farther away from water or further to already working pumps.

- to move pumped water/acid i suggest to not use pumps and rather use "gravity" to let everything flow

-If waterpumps, pumps up acid & water, move the waterpump to a slighlty different location until it only pumps acid. If they only do it offline check every single pump and make sure they really only pump acid while you are Online(waterpumps in polluted areas will always pump acid at the first timer in the pump, dont get fooled and wait at least 2 more time cycles to make sure it continuously pumps acid), then always log off while being at your acid farm.

also my setup is like this:
20 waterpumps > 4 water tanks > 2 purifiers > 1 water tank > manually placing it in barrels after that.
(no waterpumps to move water, just to pump, let gravity do it by placing at different heights.)

No drop of water for 2+ weeks after i tweaked every single waterpump. But it probably took me a week to notice and tweak all "faulty located" waterpumps.



But as for the results, i can never pinpoint how many acid i make as it always changes, currently sitting for some odd reason at 3 full water tanks of impure acid while the purifiers are sweating on the work, usually the water tanks nearly empty while they produce

Thank you for the response but that wouldnt cause what what i stated in my post on 2 september. Even if ALL 4 input slots of the purifier are filled up with 4x100 polluted water bottles, it still manage to produce purified water when offline. Which should be impossible as there's no space left in the purifier for dirty water bottles. Unless there would be a hidden 5th compartiment where the purifier could store incoming dirty water bottles.

Sup! Found the problem with my setup, at least for the purified water.

I have a setup for the acid farm in a contaminated area in my territory, and another setup in a non contaminated part of my territory that create pure water.

It seems that when I'm offline, the game mix the setups and the osmosis purifier purify the dirty water pumped by the other pumps, even if they are not linked together.

Solution: when offline, I turn off the dirty/purified water setup, and now my osmosis purifier only gives me impure acid, no more purified water!

Barrels seems to produce less when offline vs when online, don't know if there's a fix for that, but at least one problem solved!
