BUG BUG Pipeline !!! it's unplayable

[Geekphenix]

pipeline issues need to be fixed quickly because it's becoming unplayable I upgraded to MK2 and but pipeline no longer sends fuel or water etc... or when it works it's not stable it's a shame to have launched 1.0 to have this kind of bug knowing that before there was no problem

[kimba-rip]

not had any pipe issues myself......i found over supply'in liquids works lovely....

All my pipes (even MK2 ones) are working to spec on my end.

You know, showing your setup and all that would be beneficial. Not only for people might want to help you but also if you are actually encountering a bug.

all pipes work for me so maybe replace some of them entirely could be a bug that they are no longer connected

[Sonic Titan]

Is that like Duck Duck Goose?

[TH3R4BB!T]

Try flush full pipe network, see if that helps. Else overclock some inputs

[Tashine (Da)]

You might need to better describe your issue before someone can help solve it.

I can only add that when I upgraded part of pipe lines to Mk2, they worked.

Haven't had any problems with pipes so far myself, so suggest you share details about your setup and replace/rebuild pipes to double check.

Then if all else fails, post a ticket on the QA site. https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/

Think we need some more detail as so many people make shouts about things being a Bug but it turns out its just an error in the setup or a badly placed connection. So it is worth investigating to see and check through your setup bit by bit to see where the flow stops and and then investigate that section. If still having issue give some detail on your setup and screenshots and i'm sure people can help out. As stated you could flush the whole network let it refill and see where it stops along the pipe network and if dealing with elevation changes make sure you have enough head lift to do what you are.

So, we have been dealing with pipes for years .. you just need to understand how fluid in Satisfactory works.

NOTE: It is not like real world piping systems. It is more like using just potential (height based) energy for all flow. Pumps do nothing except add head lift and everything is height based.

Fluid rules:
A pipe is broken up into many individual segments .. every segment is it's own closed system and all teh calculations are per segment. You can highlight a pipe to see the individual segment.

Water extractors (or Oil extractors or refines, etc) provide all flow and set flow rate. Pumps add zero flow rate. Pumps add head (height) only.

If you hit the max flowrate of a pipe that is a cap. BUT only in the specific pipe segment you are observing. You can, for example, provide 360 units of water to 8 coal generators with a 300 unit flow rate limit by putting water in on each end and as water gets consumed, it goes below 300 in the middle sections between the generators. Plug water into the middle and you can utilize 360 m3 / min flow in MK1 (300 m3) pipes.

A successful pipeline works depends on the fluid pressure. As I've tested, a fluid source split into three pipes, and install a pipe pump for each, the one closer to the source transport more fluid than others.
All in all, show your current pipe line picture, that is the only way to solve your problem with others' help.

all 'pressure' is based on height :D .. pumps just add height. once you go ABOVE the height in question, flow then goes back to full. UNLESS you have a fluid consumer (ie, a generator or refinery) taking out fluid.

You either can (or can not) get to the height in question.

All pipes work for me to their full specifications.

More unplayable is the late enemy spawning, sometimes it spawns right in my face, other time is de-spawns and spawns in my back! Lovelier have pipes to fix

Physics is an actual thing in this game. Please inspect your pipeline flow and adjust the amount of water from the extractor and make sure that gravity in upwards pipes is not restricting flow and placing pipeline pumps to direct pump flow upwards.
