Water Pipe Mod Please.

[uglygeezer]

I'm not as bright as many of you lovely people, therefore making Mods is beyond me.

Tha water system is a real let down for me (the only real one so far). Please someone, that makes for workshop, make a nice mod to simplify sewage and water.

Even if it's just to make the pipes completely different coulours? Would be a great help.

What do you mean different colours?

All water pipes ARE sewage pipes as long as your system is hooked up to a sewage outlet. it couldn't get much simpler :P

I think you are just using them wrong. From what I understand from your post is that you are using different set of pipes for both sewage and pumps?? That is not necesarry, as the water pipes are the same as sewage pipes and comes with both sewage and water pipes in one, so you can use the same pipe and hook up the sewage to the same network of pipes.

Maybe they are different colours now, or I'm missing something?

Here's my issue:

I run pipes for water from my water pump and seperate pipes from my sewage works.

I can't cross the pipes over each other and it gets messy really fast...... TPipes for both or dark-blue or grey.

Or am I getting it completely wrong?

Got you.

BUT (I told you I wasn't bright)......

I can't connect them to both systems, so sewage pipes should be a different colour?

The idea is actually to CONNECT them... just try it and see what happens. A pipe actually consists of 2 lines not 1.

Completely wrong unfortunately. To be fair a lot of us are old sim city 4 players so take this stuf for granted.

Just ignore sewage entirely, hook up your water as if sewage didn't exist then just run 1 pipe from the network to the sewage outlet and voila it works. Don't try and make them two seperate systems as you have been doing because yes this is a recipe for disaster. Also you should draw your pipes from an existing pipe rather than trying to draw ACROSS existing pipes.

Hope this helps dude,

P.s. is your name Mario?

You can connect them, no problem. What is the problem is where you take in your water. If it is downstreams from where you pour out your sewage, or a watertower on polluted ground, then you have problems.

when you place down the water lines, there is actually 2 lines (graphically), one for sewage and other for clean water. Just look out for where you dump your dirty water and where you take in your drinking water.

Placing sewer/water pipes is easy beyond belief. We need either a mod to expand the radius of water x3, or find a way to include some sort of strategy in laying these down.

To be honest, I think any time road is laid down, both water and electricity should be essential services that come in pre-installed. Since when did any new suburbs in reality ever get new roads but no essential services? Yeah.

I get a 'space occupied' message when trying to connect the two :-/

Try using a connection of about 90 degree angles

Well try to see if you can connect them at two different points. Lines does not have to be neat to function ;)

Dude you are trying to cross the pipes, try and click ONTO the pipe that you are trying cross. I am wondering if it's a bug or else you are trolling? :P

Cheers for your help guys, I will have a rethink :-p
