Some of the pipe connections were damaged in the recent update, you can try placing the pipes again, or wait for another update.

Sometimes its just looking as if the pipes are connected but they arent.
Double check if the pipe is connected to the cooker and the intake is used at the watersource.

Connect your pipe to the cooker first then connect it up to your main water lines from there. If you are trying to connect your existing water line into the cooker, you are likely not making the connection to the cooker. If you use S+ or SS, use the in structure pipes. You can just run it through the floor and place the cooker right on top.

Im using S+ and its right beside and right ontop of the cooker

Shouldnt it be behind or below ?
I always place pipes first then try to snap it on, not pretty but it works for me

The cooker won't work if your water supply is a tank. It needs to be feed from a water source. At least that has been my experience in the past. I don't know if you are on a tank.

This isn't true at all, ours is connected to nothing but tanks.

If you are using S+ you could place internal plumbing on the floor you want your cooker to be on. May require redoing plumbing, i know that sucks but once redone you shouldn't have to touch it again unless there is yet another structure breaking update. I tend to run with the intakes dont require water config enabled as well to reduce pipe spaghetti and hide it all in my foundations.

Interesting. Are you using multiple tanks or does it work on a single tank?

No they're correct, vanilla cookers will not be irrigated from tanks, nor will other structures like beer barrels. S+ and SS ones are the same too, however I think those mods have a setting to enable it if the server owner wishes. Perhaps your server has that setting enabled, so that's why it works for you?

It is not a setting, and yes they work off tanks. I know this because its my server, my settings.
I am running on tanks, only tanks, to my industrial cooker. We have 5 or 6 of them and their only purpose is the cooker and a tap next to it for canteen.
So don't try to call me a lair when we've been doing the very thing you say is impossible for weeks now.
S+ cookers will use tanks. I cannot speak for SS because I see zero reason to use it. Nor has this been a discussion about Vanilla to begin with. Aiden uses S+.

We put an internal pipe in the foundation then snapped the cooker on the foundation.
From there we setup 5 or 6 tanks outside on 2 intersection pipes and used flex pipes to connect to the foundation internal.
The cooker has to snap on a pipe no matter how you look at it, it isn't enough to have an irrigated pipe nearby it. External pipes snap behind it in the middle, internals go in the floor Before the cooker is placed.

Wow, you should tone it down a lot. You called someone else a liar as much as this person did and there's been no specification if whether this is Vanilla or not. You should apologize.

This here says it wasn't vanilla, it was S+ cooker and pipes.


But if we'd like proof that my statement of using "nothing but tanks" on my cooker is in question, i'm more than happy to screenshot my setup (and configuration files while I'm at it) since that's apparently in question and I'm being told it won't work otherwise.
