How to irrigate the beer barrel?

[TCEd]

So, I been trying to this working for about an hour with zero success, I tried connecting the barrel to water pipe, I tried placing water jars filled with water inside & still shows not irrigated, can someone tell how to get this thing to work?

As a homebrewer I'm unsure why you need thatch in beer.

Unless they're oak twigs, but they're already in a barrel.

just to clarify, I couldn't get it to snap to a incline water pipe, perhaps I had the pipe sticking up to high or something?

Yeah. That thing about jerky? You never used cooked meat for jerky, that'll make it way too dry. you want to smoke it so the flavor stays in... raw.

xD This game isn't very good in the realism context with some of these things but hey. Still fun.

Another video had one sitting atop a horizontal irrigation pipe with no visible tap in place. Not sure if that was for cosmetics or if that would work.

as industrial cooker, a strait pipe on the floor conected to a intake.

Does this also mean that it will not work with a closed system like the industrial cooker?

I had a straight pipe on the surface of the floor with a vertical pipe sticking up with a tap and the barrel snapped right too it.

I think you can do both, the video shows just one water botle filled up & not sure if it was needed, but I placed empty water bottles in my irregated barrel to give the beer someplace to go, hope that is right way to do it.

what about a water tank i have it hooked up to two water tanks and its not filling at all???!
i placed irrigation first then snapped it onto the pipes but its not filling

Did you have to learn the engram? My server is on 232.4 and patchnotes state

v232.1
* Beer Barrel no longer requires Beer Barrel to learn ;)

but i still need to spend 24 engram points to learn the engram so i can craft it and im on level 94 and only have 23 left :/

Seems both the cooker and barrel have problems using water tanks hooked up to them

Verified above post...

I had a whole system done with tanks supplying everything. When I went to install the beer barrel, it would not see the tanks as a valid water source. I rebuilt the barrel a couple times using different snap locations/points/pipes. Until I ran a set of pipes to a water source (a "nearby" bay, in this case) and disconnected the tanks from supplying that section of my base, the beer barrel was not accepting the irrigation.

Posting this so that anyone else google searching (like me) can see my result. This is on the current patch, v241.5.
