problems with the pump and water splitter

[Tzvi]

it wont work!
i connected to every possible in and out

no water comes out from the green cable

i connected the red cable at the back of the water splitter and turn on the pump and if the disconnect the red cable from the back of the splitter i can see water coming out

if i connect a green cable at the front no water comes out on any of the four outs

if i connect a green cable on the pump and connect it to the hog pan setup no water comes out no matter where i connect the green cable on the pump and i only see two options on the sides on where it says IN

i am watching youtube videos right now and it working while im doing the exact same thing

is this a bug? ive been at it for an hour now
water comes out from the red cable while the pump is working and green cables give nothing


also i am unsure how to connect the yellow magntite decive it has one green cable where should it go to?

Edit" i eve tried dumping water with a bucket again and i get no water animation and the dirt in the hog pan is still at 100% not changing when i use a bucket on it...

clearly bugged tried taking the setup apart building it again the dirt is stuck at 100% and no water flow from either bucket or pump

Both the pump and water-splitter work just fine for me as long as it is not submerged in soil from the Wash machine. I had placed a splitter and the water pump too close to the Wash machine and over-time they became covered (about half-way) with exhausted soil. I could not access the controls nor remove them from the dirt, so I dug 'em up by hand with a shovel.

uploaded the bug

i later loaded a prior save and the issue fixed itself
so it WAS a clear bug that i was fighting for an hour for nothing





Edit" and the same bug returned now i am not sure what triggred it
it worked without the water splitter

https://youtu.be/wWAAj0TGzsc

but with the water splitter on the bug came back
i also connected a red cord connector to the edge of the cord in the water just for looks
maybe that caused the bug or the water splitter itself

i need to load a save again and avoid the water splitter


Edit" i found the bug source its the connector once you attach it it bugs the water flow
even if you disconnect it it will still be bugged until you disconnect the entire cord that touched it

problem is not with the splitter i tried the spliter solo and it works fine wont bug out the flow

u need to buy water filter

I was also thinking that the use of the connector in the stream is the problem. You're supposed to have a water filter on the end of the hose that is submerged. The connector is simply to pass water through to the next water hose (a joint if you will).

No filter, no water.... thats all

Which... is explained... in DigTube...

Oh well... I tried...

[Tzvi]

why would i need a anything on an open tube
i only used the thing for aesthetics instead of throwing the hose in the water ill attach it to the connector sitting stady on the bottom of the river

even so its still bugged

you will notice when i disconnect the hose from the connector the flow is still bugged and not working until i disconncet the hose from the other side as well and reattach it

Connect a filter from the shop to the end of the red hose in the water.

It's not going to work otherwise. IRL you use a filter to keep the hose from getting clogged with mud, in the game they just make it not work straight away.

I guess if they wanted more realism they could let you hook it up that way and then trash everything it's hooked up to because it sucks a bunch of mud into the machines but that doesn't sound good to me so...

i dont know, you are prob overthinking it, filter in hose, hose to pump, tube to splitter,, i mean it shoude be asy peasy :P and turn off the machine then rehook everything up, maby that is the problem, i dont know, maby ,, it shoude work,,

OP, ya gotta think more like a person using this stuff in RL.

The filter serves a necessary purpose on the hose-end. It is to protect the pump from getting debris that would be sucked from the stream and then fouling the pump.

When you use a hose in real life that is going to feed water into a pump the last thing you want going down that hose is a load of gravel, sticks and crap that is floating in the water. You use a filter to keep these larger things OUT and stop them going into the hose and into the whole system.

The only thing that is bugged here is your way of using it.

Press TAB in game and watch all the DigTube videos like others suggested as it would have saved you alot of time from making these videos.
