Irrigation system not able to go up hills???

[Sycopath]

I have built a base on a hill but cant seem to get the irrigation pipes to go up hill. is there a way to rotate the pipes?

[Nanian]

Im curious about about this as well. - Seems only able to go straight, or downwards :/?

[Murderhorse]

Seems like it follows gravity then? .. I mean obviously an irrigation system would but that's.. kind of unfortunate.

The pipe that is angled (45 degrees) can be placed to go upwards or downwards as needed, just change the angle you're looking at the pipe you're attaching to.

So like if I look from below it will go up/down or what ?

lol this is messy! a rotate key would sort this issue out

[Nanian]

yeah so, no matter which way I seem to look at it, it doesnt really rotate :/ ?

Have you only unlocked the straight, inlet and tap pipe sections?

There are further unlocks that provide inclined, vertical and cross shaped stone pipes. Thought the same thing but eventually unlocked them, and now have pipes running up the beach and up a cliff to my base.

Looks a bit messy, but functional.

Yeah I unlocked all 3 - And I cant seem to rotate the 45 degree one. its always pointing downwards ?

There is a further 3 to unlock, 6 components total.
1st tier: Straight, inlet and tap (so you can make basic irrigation on the beach/pond if you want.
2nd tier: 45 degree incline, vertical and cross shape pipe (unlocked a few levels higher than the first stone ones, to make more advanced systems)

Edit: I found the incline one sometimes went into the ground, but if I stood where the previous section of pipe was just laid, crouched and looked up it worked, most went into place pretty easily though. Hopefully that helps. Terrain sometimes doesn't play nice with the path you want to take.

We'll be adding additional features to the building system soon to smooth it out. Perf and connection issues first ;)

But this *IS* a connection issue. Can't connect the irrigation pipes....

Thank you all for the replies!! I had no idea there was more that I need to unlock. I was excited to not have to run back to the river every few minutes for water. Oh well looks like a few more levels to go. Thanks again! Enjoying this game to death!

No problem, regarding running around for water constantly, this might also help:
