How to empty one full liquid tank into an empty one?
I know you can line them up output -> input and when the first tank is full the 2nd starts accumulating. But if I wanted to completely empty one tank into another so I can destroy the first, how can you do that?

Just as you described it.
If you line them output from the first to input of the second, the second will be filled first.
And heres a hint, if I re.ber correct, if you deconstruct the full tank, the liquid should be in bottles.

Just hook the tank you want to empty up to the one you want to fill, without any input to the tank you want to empty. It will empty out into the other tank and once it's empty you can deconstruct it.
I think you might need to have a pipe segment on the input of the tank you want to empty to make it work.

I feel this is a troll post because it's obvious how to work it out yourself

Not trolling, just not very good at this. My issue is, I think I want to move the dirty water tanks from the continuous bathroom loop to a more convenient location. I have hooked multiple tanks together before, but never without one tank having an input. I guess that was all I had been missing.

I think we all read that

In a different way. You can connect the starting pipe into one reservoirs input. Then stop it there. And then connect that reservoirs output to the next's input.
So not drawing a line all through them. Just connecting inputs and outputs.

Side note: you always need to have an input pipe connected even on the one you want to empty. Don't connect it to anything, but a tank will just not output if there is no input pipe for reasons.

I was just over thinking it. I just thought, "I always had the two tanks hooked together, but one would never empty into another until full." It hadn't occurred to me that the game knew what I wanted and the one would auto empty into the other.
