Water pipes not working

[Nausicaasssss]

I've got fresh batteries on both my electric water purifiers and my sprinklers but I'm not getting any water to my grass, help!

Maybe show a screenshot of your raft, piping and placements.

Only other reason I could think of, base on 'one sentence' is your
pipes extends long, sprinklers are very far (or high) off, on a very large raft.

Pipes and water tank will not work properly ( for now ) over 7 storey high and equivalent length from the ' focal point ' of your raft.
if related.

Other than user folly on broken piping somewhere and placed objects mesh clashes.

Could it be that you connected it the wrong way? Make sure your in-side is connected to the pumps and the out-side goes to your sprinklers.

Thank you Xas! It's definitely the to talk thing, my raft is a giant tree and and I was trying to run it from the bottom up about 12 stories up. I will share some screenshots later, I'll try and work out a solution with water tanks placed intermittently in the trunk so it will reach the top or else I'll break down my current animal branches and lower them! Thank you!

Will not work ' currently ' even with multiple tanks ( acting as pressure points ).
Interactive objects will malfunction 15 squares from the ' focal ' point.

Manually haul water for now, from the 7th ladder.

Hi Xas,

What do you mean by 'focal point'. I'm confused :(

Hi Xas,

A real life analogy - the electric motors you make just don't have enough horsepower to raise that water column. You won't be able to automatically deliver water more than 14 linear meters (supposing that each pipe section covers a meter) away from the electric purifier. This doesn't mean that a 15-long pipe won't work, except when it points directly away from the purifier with no turns.

Technically, I would guess it has something to do with how the game culls automatic processes in order to improve performance and isn't actually meant to imitate reality.

You may also need to repair your pipe. Every time we load into the game at least 1 section of pipe doesn't load and needs to be re-built.

Nearby placed objects mesh is(are) colliding with the flow of your pipe.
Not about ' repair '.

Its just the pipe and the water tanks. Plus its not always the same pipe. Sometimes its multiple pipes, sometimes its only 1.

Anyway, not a big deal. Its an easy fix each time we load.

I'm having the same issue. Could this be because I used some detail planks around the pipes? They worked well for about 40h but now decided to go on strike :(
