Pipe empty, why?

[Nurgus]

I changed my setup from snake to something different. my plan was to pipe the cool petroleum more equalized instead of cooling down the upper part heavily while the part below cools slowly. so this is what i came up with. im not asking for a better setup or anything just the answer to my question which my blocked brain cant see.

Edit : ♥♥♥♥ my first screenshot ever on steam, no preview. derp
edit 2 : the system is run by an aquatuner if that matters. but i guess its something about the layout.

Is there a screenshot for this? I think you meant to attach one based on your text.

[Bokonon]

I can't see it either :P Screenshot?

[Nurgus]

yeah damn that was lightspeed fast. just got it :)

Ok I see the issue here. Bridges would be the answer for this because your petroleum is getting confused about where to go. I would put a bridge right before you split into 4 pipe for the petroleum so that the output end of the bridge(green icon) ends up right where it splits into 4 pipe. This will make it so the petroleum will go into all 4 pipes evenly before end up back at the end into 1 pipe again.

It's kinda zoomed out and hard to tell, first thing I'd do is check and make sure the bridges are in the correct orientation. I've got around 500 hours and still brain fart sometimes and put them in backwards :)

I'm honestly not sure what I'm looking for in that screenshot (like where do you expect there to be a nonempty pipe) but I'm looking at the southwest quadrant of the picture and there are lots of pipes that are disconnected from one another (aka missing one segment that would connect them) especially near the bridges?

[Nurgus]

thanks for your help. ellip got the point and prolly the answer, i will try it out and maybe add another screenshot if it does not work.

No problem. I've seen this issue before and have had wanted even distribution before as well so it good to remember about bridge usage for times like this.

Can you do me a favor and post a screenshot of it after you fixed it? Just hoping to learn something and avoid this myself in the future.

[Nurgus]

sure just had the same idea, i will do some better screenshots. how do i add a preview ?

[Nurgus]

Ok so here are the new i figured the preview thing out... by accident :P

1. Aquatuner says problem: pipe empty. Liquid is in the circuit but not flowing

2. Close up from the left part of the cycle.

3. There is the split up ellip talked about, i already gave the task to build the bridge

4. Closer look at the cycle

5. The problem is solved (dont forget to deconstruct the pipe between the bridge). The bridge is build and the petroleum is flowing again.

Not sure how others do it, I upload the pic, go to my "content" page, click it, it'll open in another window, click the URL up top of the new window, it'll open in another new window and from there I can copy the URL. It's a pain hopefully someone knows a better way but this is what works for me.

[Bokonon]

Dude, you rock thanks a million!!

[Nurgus]

yeah i copied the url before, its prolly because i didnt leave a space between text and link or sth
