Hydraulic Generator Won't Work

[Eguzky]

I'm placing it in a river.
I've tried breaking it & placing it against standing in the river.
I've tried moving it.
It's a river, and not standing water.

And yet it's generating 0W

My understanding for this is 1) Make sure the correct side is on land 2) build it while knee deep in the water

Try that

I did. It did not work.

Then I built it on the other side of my base, and it worked.
Maybe my base was blocking water flow? It's not like the water LOOKS like it's moving.

It's a bug.
The trick is to be standing in water yourself when you build the generator.
Deconstruct the bugged one and rebuild as you stand in water.

Took some time but i figured it out, get in the water while facing shore, jump and place it down. Kinda glitchy but i got all 6 generators working

For me, my knees weren’t in the water so it thought I wasn’t deep enough. So I just crouched and everything worked fine 😂
