Pump says target storage full while target says source is not sending resource - my water system is broken and I can't fix it. Bug?
I had a an uphill reservoir connected to a splitter, connected to two pumps sending water to substations.

I noticed the input pressure at the substations was very low (like .2 bar even though the last stop's output pressure was at something like 1.5) and some buildings were not getting enough water.

So I added a pump between the reservoir and the first splitter and widened the pipes to allow for more input pressure down the line, and now nothing works anymore. The pump has a high output pressure and a full tank but says "target storage full" while the connected splitter says "source is not sending resource". Meanwhile all connected substations and splitters down the line are empty and have zero input pressure.

So basically something was *maybe* off before, but there is no way that adding this pump should break the system. Feels like a bug. But maybe I'm overlooking something?

I tried turning it off and on again.

Update: when I delete the first switch and run the pipe from the first pump directly to the substation, the water flows as it should.

But it doesn't make any sense that that switch, or that general setup would be blocking the transfer of water...

Update 2:

Replacing the tank with a big water tower makes no difference.

But deleting the first pump after the water tower does, and the tower fixes the initial pressure issue, I guess.

I still don't see how that pump should have broken the system, so I still think something isn't working as intended, but at least I've found a workaround for my issue.

The water switch has an input pipe and three output pipes; did you accidentally connect the supply to one of the switch's output connections?

Is that even possible?

But no I don't think so, because when hovering over the input pressure, it highlights the pipe coming from the pump in green. Also it's the same connection as before when it worked but the pressure was weirdly low.

Screenshot? Are all buildings powered?

All buildings are powered.

I turned off realistic mode now for a moment to quickly test deleting and rebuilding the pipes, but it didn't make a difference.
