Irrigation and how to use it?

[Readysetgo]

So i've been trying to get the irrigation pipes to work in my game, but no matter what i try the water intake always gets too close to the ground and my other pipes cant be placed there because its too close to the ground. Any ideas?

You mean your pipes clip into the beach?

Try building from where you want the water to go down to the source, worked for me, the intake gets adjusted when it detects a watersource it seems.

You later get vertical pipes as well around Lvl 15 I think.

Ah, we built at the beach so i would have to run it far. or just level to 15 haha, im close!

I have the water tank, all pipes going down to the beach, i placed pipes and also a stone tap inside the water, but nothing. water tank always say "not irrigated"..

what could i be doing wrong?

You need to place the "Intake" inside the water, not the tap ;)

Put the irrigation pipe into the water, thats the one that looks a bit like a crowbar.

Then you use the inclined one to bring it just up a little bit so its above the ground.

Then you set it up how you like.

Tips:

I recommend creating a pattern with the taps and the intersections so they cover a wide area with water irrigation. Then you can place your crop plots anywhere.

Also you should ALWAYS protect your crops with a wall and preferably under a roof. To do this effectively, wall them around and have a door leading into the crops. Then once the door has been built, lead the irrigation pipes THROUGH the open door and you can close the door on the pipe with no issues. giving you a secure irrigation system.
