I found the exact value which should be used: It is 26,215 (419,444) and at max overfunding, it will sit at 524,288 (32,768) Which is the absolute max the game will handle per pump/outlet.

I had not read the comments. But put one in, got the issues folks were talking about. My problems/fix When I put the building down, it started some very large flood waves, which in turn caused the water level at the conduit to rise (providing city water) and fall (denying it.) SO... I just terraformed in front of the conduit. Dropped the elevation as low as possible, creating a super deep (but not very wide) hole in my river bottom. That seems to have fixed everything.

Just one of these things completely diverted the course of a river.

10/10 would S U C C again

Yes, it seems like that is the case.

@ThekillerChicken : so according to your findings there is a hard limit on the max output per building, and i think my META tagged buildings go above it :P seems like a issue if we really want really big buildings moving lots of water >_<........ so imagine the fix would be to reduce the 960,000 output to 400,000 :/

Thanks very much for your insight, ill have to test the change eventually, do you have a recomended city size to test it ? currently i dont have any save game nor ever got to a city so big i needed these massive buildings :P

I did try it, no go, there is an algorithm in the Unity engine which requires multiple sources of water/drainage, up to a max of 400,000 per structure to ork correctly. This is very weird why Unity does this. Maybe the dev team did this, I am not sure to be honest. I uses 100 pipes off one of your pumps and did not work. So anyone who states it works either modded the algorithm, or have not built a city to require the flow of the pump. I am no modder, but I like to look into scripts/coding for the fun of it and so I can provide information for things like this.

@TheKillerChicken Thanks for all the information. So having enough drainpipes seems to be a solution to one of the issues

I get water shortages with over twice capacity. water consumption, ~1,500,000 Water pumping capacity is 3,320,000.

I replace with vanilla water pumps and zero issues.

I have the same issue with your other sewage mod, Spectral Evaporator [Meta].

Maybe they changed stats for water/sewage pumps in Parklife?

Turns out if there are enough drain pipes at the other end, this is able to work correctly. I also create multiple pipes to increase the capacity.

Weird I'm not having that problem, when the limit is reached it can be sloved with enough water outlets. I tried it out my self, and these pumps work great

No promlem!

@thekillerchicken Hey man, thanks for clearing that mistery out for us ^_^
TheKillerChicken May 29, 2018 @ 1:07pm 
There is actually a limit on how much water can go through the pipes. I took a look at the Unity code and saw that. So that is why it does this.

@Elistone I wish i could have helped more or had a real solution to the issue but since im no programmer im limited to what the game allows :(
Elistone Jan 14, 2018 @ 5:52pm 
oh well, i love all your buildings, so i dont mind, just wanted you to know. i'll just use your smaller ones or add another. :2017catheart:

@Elistone: Hi there again, this problem you have is puzzling to say the least, but here are my test results.

A 200k water hungry city with just 1 XL pump
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1269102590

Here is with 4 to meet the demands.( and exceed it)
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1269102590

Here you can see them on and working.

One of these pumps should be enough to meet around 1 million m3/week.
I believe that it might be a sort of game bug, after taking those pictures i managed to replicate what happened.

Not really shure whats causing it, might be some sort of game bug related to the amount of water it pumping, but i solved it by placing another pump. For some reason the game does not register sometimes the amounts , or it gets delayed .

First time around worked nicely, I placed 1, fill upt to one part of the map, 2,3 and 4.but the Second time had the issue you had.

@Elistone: Indeed, super weird and there should be no reason for the water not getting to those places.

hope this works, also hope theres enough detail to show you
Spectra  [author] Jan 12, 2018 @ 8:13am 
@elistone: yeah send a picture, because on small scale it should work no problem.
Elistone Jan 6, 2018 @ 7:00pm 
Thanks for the reply, and I'm sorry I wasnt more specific. I am doing one of the mission maps and the city at the moment is only covering 4 tiles, am not using the full map of tiles or anything. Though when I start an empty map I am going to try it with very well planned and laid out water pipes instead of the mess I have at moment, to see if that makes a difference. If you like a screenshot i can rebuild it to get a pic, to show you maybe its just the wierd pipe set up i have?

@Elistone Hi, im currently away from home, but what you mention seems to be some sort of game limitation, my assests only work with defaul exposed values in the editor. Now ive only tested my buildings on the sefault map size max tiles, i haven't personally experienced but i might be the exception :'D
Elistone Jan 5, 2018 @ 3:31pm 
i had a wierd little problem with using this, in that i had only one of these for all water needs. it was on the left side of my city, but i was having problems getting water to farms on the right side of my city, there was more than enough water according to the charts, its just didnt seem to be getting there. it was like there wasnt enoguh pressure, any ideas?
