How do I get liquid from a Liquid Reservoir into a bottle?

[dreizehnX]

I am now using liquid reservoirs (thanks for the great explanations recently) and also use it between my sinks/lavatories and the water sieve.
Now I have got an arbor tree which needs polluted water and I cannot find a possibility how to get bottles with polluted water.
It is no problem to pump it out of the reservoir into pipes but I cannot find a way to bottle it. I have also looked for liquid canisters or a faucet but it seems as if there is nothing like that.

How do you do this?

You can't directly bottle water from a reservoir; you have to empty/pump some water into an open area (you know make a rectangular basin out of tiles for it), go to plumbing tab, build the "pitcher pump" that feeds the straw into the open water. Then your dupes will automatically bottle water by siphponing from the pump and water the tree.

(Note that I am not sure if you are allowed to use hydroponics tiles for trees; if you can that makes it easier you just pipe water from reservoir to hydro tile)

Thank you.
Yes, I know how to make the basin. Somehow I hoped that I don't need to because I wanted to avoid the polluted oxygen.

I do have to try the hydroponic tiles. Thanks.

Polluted oxygen is very easy to deal with - research "decontamination" and build deoderizers. They are dirt cheap to build/maintain and have a range of 3 tiles.

[dreizehnX]

I will. Thanks.

there are mods for this.

You can totally use hydroponic farms for Arbor trees. You still need open space on either side of the farm though

Also, you can add a thin layer of clean water to your polluted water reservoir. It covers the top, stopping any pO2 from being produced.

Indirectly it's a hard yes. Alot of extra steps but I call it my botting factory.

1. Draw out a flat that is 6-9 squares wide.
2. Put a 1 square wall on each side. Toss the exhaust in there.
3. **Make sure to have a shutoff**
4Dump some H20 in there and get to mopping at priority lvl 9 or yellow alert.
Note: The Dupes will catch up to the flow leaving 2 left. The mopping goes just as fast as the flow.

Note: If you feel like being fancy make a shallow T and put the exhaust right below. It will automatically shut off when it gets too deep giving you the shallows to mop for the H2O.
Note: This also applies to polluted water.

Uses: You can put some storage bins nearby. When you're done, load them up.
Trick: Fill up the bin. When you need your dupes to move the water from one place to the other just drop the capacity. Make sure the other bin has it set to only accept the super juice.
Uses: You can conveyor belt this stuff!
Uses: Use the polluted water to water certain plants!!
Huzah!

Best of luck!!



Off Topic: Vacuum has a 0.000 thermal conductivity.
I call it the Supersulate
If you're trying to keep the heat to only one side and cold on the other go no farther.
1. Draw out a 1 square line of empty space that you don't want heat to get through.
2. Somewhere along the way have a space just large enough to fit a gas pump
3. Run your water/gas lines where you want them to go if you're trying to remove heat.
4. Seal it up and flip the turn on the gas pump!
Note: there is no pressure shutoff value for the pump, it only shuts off when there is no gas to be pumped
Note: Get fancy
Note: If you hit Neutonium with sunlike temperatures it causes the game to crash XD

If youre up for mods, look up pipe to bottle in the workshop

at least in the DLC, the empty pipe job now seems to bottle fluids and gasses properly. i had some oxygen that got into a hydrogen line that wasnt finished and it backed up the pipe. i expected to release the O2 into the environment and instead it put it in a bottle on the ground.

i've since used this to my advantage when moving gasses around. sending the gas i want bottled into a tank and then making an output pipe with the empty job on it, and a corresponding bottle emptier where i want that gas.

the DLC changes things a good bit but in some ways, for the better.

Why the necro?

Only with the liquid pump I can fill the reservoir?

A Liquid Reservoir is filled through a Pipe. Any way you can fill the Liquid Pipe works.

Pumps are the common way to get liquid into plumbing, but you can put another building in between the Liquid Pump and Reservoir. Steam Turbines have an output to plumbing for their Water output while taking in Steam. Showers and Lavatories will fill a Liquid Reservoir of course, but will need plumbing to supply their own input Water.

Once liquid is in the plumbing system and has a clear direction of flow (from green building outputs to white building inputs) it will flow freely without further pumping regardless of pressure/gravity/viscous loss :) It will only stop when "blocked" by the pipe ahead being stopped or when it doesn't "know" which way to go ... Bridges are often used to direct traffic in the desired direction.
