High Voltage Cord and Electric Water Pump

[Llogeyr]

Ok so I took along break from the game waiting for things to be fixed. I am talking before the seasons updates and a few patches before then. Come back in today thinking ok lets give it another go. So i get the water tower at Arnold's finally hooked up and running. Initially tried to connect the tower to the pump thinking hey you need water pressure to feed water, but nope, apparently it is gravity fed from the tower. Ok no big deal, figured it out. So I go to turn on my water pump that is now hooked up properly to fill my water tower. Sparks at the power connector on the pump itself. Ok no big deal lets go get a new cord. Replace the cord and sparks again. Ok lets repleace the panel then. Nope can't do that. Ok lets get a new pump altogether. Real shocker coming here. Get the new pump with a new cord hooked up. plugged in and powered and sparks still coming from the panel.

So yeah looks like an uninstall and won't be touching this game again. Let alone the Diesel Brothers game they are working on. Wouldn't touch that one whith a 10 foot pole with some else holding it and someone else pushing it.

The sparks are a design failure (but intended) and non functional, the pump works correctly (you hear a hum and see sparks if it's running).

You only need the water tower if you use T3 and above, for the smaller plants you can use the water trailer (which has an own pump but you need a pump to fill it).

Thankyou Metallos.

Note: in a pinch (dry or frozen stream) you COULD use the water trailer with T3. You'd just be limited to alternating between running a shaker-full or paydirt then clearing the hogpans - or else running more paydirt at once but losing some of the hogpan gold (which some might consider an ok trade-off for productivity's sake.)

You don't really need the water tower to run T3 and above. A single big water pump can power a full T3 setup and in the winter and summer you can use the mobile water tank temporarily if needed to power at least the shaker.

I'm using the T3 shaker but therefor I have a T5 trommel and T5 jigs.
