Head Lift

[The Nameless]

Is there any way to find out how high I've climbed? I need to know when to put more pipeline pumps to reach my base, it's a lot higher than the water.

Place stack of foundations next to things you want to know how.high are...

Foundations are 1, 2, 4 meters high depending what you use.

Free form beams work too, they show how long they are

how that?

Hold Alt + click, when you aim for the point you want to know how high or low. You need a foundation on the top if you want to know the height.

Technically they give their length all the time but in free form you can you can do any size you want up to it’s max length

p.s. in my experience reffineries and water extractors pump higher than 10 meters. I've built my pipes 4 stackable supports up and then down and I believe thats more than 10 meter

In real life the throughput/water pressure would diminuish gradually with increasing height, no idea if that is implemented in SF or not. But since in my case the pipes are going down again of the other side of the walkway - and therefore creating an underpressure - it wouldn't matter anyway I guess.

Is it written how many meters? i don't recall that

Its pretty simple, place a pump at the lowest section of pipe, place another pump on the pipe but dont build it, look up you will see where the next pump should be. In this video you can see the blue ring on the pipe that the pump will snap into place. That blue ring is the max head lift for that pump.

You can drag beams in default mode too in vertical direction.

Yea I wires cross there, they do go 1m meter at a time.

Thank you! I've used them yesterday the first time in red desert and didn't see the orange length!!

Freeform! Again something learned !!!!!

And old saying says:

Are the pumps not supposed to headlift 20 meter up?

BTW: Is that video made with OBS studio and most of all: How did you manage to upload it in Steam? I wasn't able to do that till the present day.

The head lift is measured 2/2.5 meters below the center of the pump. Every 6 walls is 20 meters. Those blue bands around the pipe indicate where the next pump should go to use the max headlift the pump can produce. In the video they are mk1 pumps and the blue bands are at 20m and 40m from the bottem of the first pump.

As for the video, you have to upload it to youtube, then link your youtube account and steam acount. Do this from with in your profile, click videos and link them.
