Beer Barrel not Irrigating

[Dreygar]

Hey everyone. Just trying to figure out how to hook up this beer barrel? I've got resovoirs and I've tried putting a tap above it... hooking a line to it directly... and it still won't irrigate.

What should I do?

[Mr Gibbins]

Place it on top of a pipe same way as a water tank. Also, don't try and supply it from a water tank, it needs a direct intake pipe from a pond or sea or etc.

Thanks. Yeah I had to feed it from the Ocean. Kinda weird but oh well.

Problem #2. Now I can't access the Beer Barrel now that it's hooked up to water?

If you place the barrel in top of the pipe it should work, if there's a pipe on top it bugs out, had to demo 3 barrels before I could get it to work. Sounds like you got a bugged one. Nice of the devs making an event require the use of a bugged item.

Yeah it looks like I can't access it if the pipe is connected, so I just gotta break the pipe whenever I want to access it. I guess it's fine now that I know what to do, but definitely required a lot of breaking and making of items.

place a pipe on the ground where you want to put your barrel , then place the barrel then the rest of to pipes to your watersource.

im not a big fan of the barrel, industrial cooker, and water tanks ...you make the perfect spot for them but they have to snap to a pipe end :/ it can get fustraiting when you have to essentialy build around them once there placed, they should be like the crop plots imo

I would recommend laying the piping first. A little planning goes a long way towards a nice looking base.

Problem #3. Made 1 beer liquid. Put in an empty water jar... and I cannot transfer the liquid to the jar?

What do I do about having my base in the arctic biome on genesis? Does this mean i just cant make any beer in this base on that map? Water tank's only in arctic biome.

I'm not sure. 4 year old post. lol. I don't think I've made beer in a long time.

Since we have already necroed this I would mention I have NO problems with the beer barrel. I place them ON a table in my greenhouse. One vertical pipe on TOP of the barrel going up and out to the water intake. (it snaps there) Many times I use two barrels and use a flexible pipe piece to allow me one water line from the ocean / lake that split right near the two pipes coming out of the barrels.

I find no good use for the beer either. Just a novelty for the over abundance of berries in the greenhouse. It IS used to tame one dino passively. That large cat looking thing that walks on its knuckles. Calico something I think its called. Anyway by using the pipes this way you don't have to work to position the barrel in any particular place. And the barrels look better sitting on a table.

Might be more fun if they make it such that when you drink the beer your man walks funny. Sorta side stepping and barely going the wrong direction.

even though this post is necro, beer barrels are still broken, more so than before. Cannot get them to take in water, regardless of how I set it up. They just stopped working after that event where you had to make beer for it. have not worked since

[Fragdoll]

I was able to get this working today. I placed an unconnected pipe on the floor, placed my barrel and then connected the pipe via a flex pipe.

Hope this helps someone.
