Help please, platform placement.

[Dracco0085]

I'm playing in sp and I have my entire base on a few brontos.

I want to build a farm on one but I cant place pipe on a platform, is there a way to override this in an .ini file?

It's weird I can place crop plots and green houses on a platform but not irrigation.

Thanks in advance.

Anyone?

If the crop plots are not covered then you will not need pipes as the rain will sufficiently fill the plots for you. If for some crazy reason it does not rain for days then you can manually fill the plots by inserting a water jar and remote using it to add water.

Yep, got that, but I kinda want a few water reservoirs so I can refill my canteen, and to be able to use green house pieces.

Is there a command line to allow pipe placement?

Not that I know of, no. Only platform commands either change max structures and max # of platforms per server or whether xplants and turrets work on them.

I don't think this is possibly without making a entirely new water pipes through devkit; aka mod. Devs did make it clear that pipes weren't supported on this. If it doesn't hurt to do so, make a some kind of watering station in a safe location; a protective tower with water pipes going through it with tabs.

I don't think this will work - platforms don't recognize structures not built on the platform, so it won't check for nearby taps built on the ground.

It doesn't?... It worked for my Plesio platform saddle. Before the nerf hammer hit the organic turrets from being on platform saddles, I had built a nice dock for the Plesi and had pipes going out from the ocean and tab slightly above where the plant turrets were located.

I might stand corrected then. It wasn't custom taps and/or piping from a mod, that maybe using different condition checks? I had tried myself before and taps didn't fill plots on platforms...was a long time ago though.

It was on Center map when it was still a mod with few building mods but none of them touched pipes or tabs unless it did without mentioning. If you want a list, I can tell you, but it'll get pretty long lol

Nah. I'll just have to try again when I think about it.

Try this mod: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=639841665

Some of the features listed:

Allowed the reservoirs to be placed on anything.

Allowed pipes to connect "from" the reservoir so it could be the start point of a network.

All pieces can be used on a raft or saddle platform (for platforms the intake will likely be too far from the water so you will likely need to use the PNC Reservoirs as your water source).




We have it on our server, but I personally haven't had a reason to use any of it.

Thanks, this is exactly what I was looking for, now I can finally finish my Broto caravan base

You're welcome. Sorry, I didn't think of it when I gave my first reply.
