Water Reservoir

[Shane]

If you place them inside a structure with a roof does the rain still fill them up ?

[shogun01]

no

[Shane]

thx

[Llynia]

But if you put a tank on top of your roof and connect it with pipes with some other tanks inside the building, will they fill up then?

[Llynia]

no one knows?

That does work. As long as the tank on the top has open air above it meaning no obstructions via building parts.

thank you :D

I've been meaning to try the resivoir cause I'm kinda far from water and don't want ugly pipes climbing a huge cliff, is the resivior reliable enough that rain will keep it from going dry without manually filling it?

One? No. Several? Yes.

i am thinkin about such a combination: O= Tank // +&I = pipes

O+O
O+O
O+O
---------Roof
...I

Would this work?

Yes but you need a tap.

What about trapdoors ?

Does anyone know if you have a trapdoor above a tower, running on the remote keypad to open when it rains will the rainfall fall through these i am wondering...

the rest then connects to that location, so the one fills the rest !!!

I am not sure, but you cannot grow items in a crop plot placed on a foundation that are below an opened hatch. I assume when this does not count as "enough sunlight" it also will not count as raining.

But you don't need to place it on the roof, you can just put one reservoir outside even on ground level then connect it using pipes with the reservoirs you have inside.

But don't underestimate the amount of water you need for cooking (especially kibbles) since all the water in a container is used at once during cooking, which means every kibble will cost you 100 water (from your 3500 you have using your example with 7 metal reservoirs).

Just so you guys know water tanks can be filled up when it snows in the new biome :)
