irrigation problem

[onix8198]

I have a intake pipe in the ocean and no water is going into the pipes, why is that?

Could be several reasons, not sure your specific set up. I have made many an aqua-farm on a couple of the maps and would be happy to troubleshoot with you if you'd like the help?

For less back and forth questions providing screenshot always makes it easier when asking for help with a problem

1. Make sure the intake is actually truly in the water and not just skirting the surface.

2. Make sure all pipes are correctly connected (so that you get the blue tinge to the pipes).

3. Try to use the same tier (and if you're using mods to play too the same sourced crafted pipes) without mix/matching.

4. Make sure you attach a tap.

retsam1 that is very good advice. I've also found if I use mods to extend the pipe from a raft or from the surface, it often stops working after some time, if it works at all. I usually place a platform on the ocean floor (just a stone foundation will do), put an intersection pipe on it, connect an intake at the bottom there, and then run the pipes up to the surface.

I'm sure that's not the only way to do it, but it always works.

The only mods that are relatively safe to mix match with are the ones that gives you the bore water intake(ie a craftable intake pipe that can be placed anywhere, even in the air, to give water) or automated ark's cauldron for the same purpose with which you then can attacked reg or s+ pipes and tap to for water.

thanks it is working now for some reason it stopped and then started again without me having to touch any of the pipes, so mustve been a glitch

Maybe a carnivore or a different type of flyer.

1 of the pipes could be broken? or its just a ark thing where it want you to stick it in deeper
