Does anyone here having problems connecting the pipe from 2nd floor going up to 3rd? It seems like the flow of waters stops to 2nd and won't continue up to the 3rd going to 4th flr. I am using 1 pump only for this one.

I've set up a pump, connected to a rain collector barrel, and pipes connected to the wall of my house. I expected all the sinks and toilets in the house to work, but only the toilets next to the wall where the pipe is connected are working, anything further than that doesn't work. Also, for some reason, water in the water collector is not decreasing. So I have an infinite amount of water essentially.

Any tips? what did I do wrong?

I'm a little lost. I've got three pumps at a lake, all then forked into one pipeline towards a house. I'm worried that since the pipe comes from north and connecting to house external wall from south, it's not connecting to the building, none of the sinks/bathtubs seem to be collecting water.

I'm also concerned because I have a second pipeline for my farm and it happens to connect to the house (not intentionally) and I'm wondering if that is overriding the connection to the house I actually want.

Hello how to get charcoal? Burning Wood in metaldrum? Or only by looting? Did find any yet.

does it work with saves or i need to create a new one?

do the pipes connect through flooring? i'm trying to connect my roof barrel, to an indoors barrel which is one floor above my kitchen sink

Does the mod "machines II" interfere with this one by chance? I build all the things as described, connect a generator, but right-clicking the pump does not give me a "turn on" optin.

I have the pipe connected to a house but the sinks are only filling up to 40/140
Robo_Robinson8912 Jul 13 @ 7:42pm 
Nevermind, it just takes SUPER long to fill, might also be because of how long the pipeline I made is

Hey its 3AM so idk if I'm reading this right but- I built a pipe network and connected it to a house but I'm not getting any water in any of the sinks, its powered and on along with having a filter, am I missing something or am I not doing it right?
Arthritic Meow Jul 7 @ 9:54pm 
Has to have an open top of course.
Arthritic Meow Jul 7 @ 9:53pm 
Metal barrels, right click context menu should say make charcoal if I recall correctly.

how to create a carbon filter?
Arthritic Meow Jun 26 @ 1:42pm 
@gwennec It might not work on tents, if so just plumb a pipe under the sink and that should fix your issue. it does have to be connected to the whole pipe network as well but It is a good work around if the building connect does not work.
Gwennec Jun 26 @ 12:19am 
Not sure if I'm doing something wrong here. I've connected my pipe system to the mess tent in the Louisville army camp and I can see there is water flowing in the valves but the sink isn't filling up/usable.

Does it work with the tents or does it need to be a wooden/brick building?

much appreciated Slayer and take your time b42 is incredible unstable anyways can't imagine trying to fit mods to it is the easiest.
Meyar Jun 23 @ 5:11am 
Awesome! Glad to hear it c:
Slayer  [author] Jun 23 @ 2:44am 
Works on b42 version will begin shortly.
bkgarner00 Jun 20 @ 11:31pm 
someone let me know if this every gets updated to b42 im cleaning out mods atm.
Swisher2Sweet_ Jun 19 @ 3:12pm 
This will be great for build 42 for the animal troughs I wish we could put burry them and it still work!
Arthritic Meow Jun 15 @ 10:31am 
@Pkey You can get it from a metal barrel, you just need wood and the prompt should show to make charcoal.
Pkey Jun 14 @ 1:35pm 
How to get charcoal?

Hi there, my friends and I have been using your mod on our server in build 41. While we really enjoy the mod, every time we load up the server, the water becomes tainted despite having filters. It started happening after one of our friends had poured tainted water in a tainted rain collector barrel which not only tainted the whole system, but tainted as we loaded up the server each time. Please let me know if you have any fixes for this, thanks!

@marshmallow justice

I think I've found the issue. I had a simple pipeline going from water collector on the second floor towards a small farm patch down at the ground level. No bueno. The plants didn't receive any water.

Turns out, the issue is with the pump doesn't pull water when it's not placed on ground level. Connected the pump to a sink or a collector barrel at ground level and it works. Even if the farm patch is at the floor above it.

How do you repair the pumps?
CapitánCuervo May 4 @ 1:26pm 
can this be connected to wells?
JustinDaniels May 3 @ 12:48pm 
So hey, not a request on updating to Build 42, but more of a curiosity!

Have you been poking and prodding at the new liquid systems, by any chance? Might be fun to be able to get a visual of the water levels in the facilities rising up from the pumps! :steamhappy:
Arthritic Meow Apr 28 @ 8:38am 
I think you guys need to chill out. This mod dev might be waiting for 42 stable before releasing anything which would be a smart move because it would be less volatile as far as updates go. not only that but as far as I know they have done a full redo of the fluid system so give this dev a break and stop hassling them
42 build pls
SquallTemnov Apr 12 @ 2:41pm 
Build 42 please!

Update for anyone experiencing same problem:
I managed to make a working system, but pumping from the nearby natural lake (luckily within 50-70 tiles of our base). Pumping from Rain Barrels themselves just wouldn't work. Added a second pump too and that did increase flow as well. So everything works there, but just not from Rain Barrels at least for me.

It wouldn't pump TO the rain barrels right next to our house walls either, but that's probably related to said barrels not collecting rain water naturally either when placed next to the house wall (need to be one tile out).

I put a picture of my plumbing setup here maybe it can explain why it's not updating more than that very first time before stopping. Around the top right farm area, the loop used to be closed, but I removed some pipes and had them open end just now to see if it would change anything, but nope.
marshmallow justice Apr 1 @ 1:09pm 
Can multiple pumps be made and attached to the same network of pipes to make the water travel faster, or is it purely 1 pump = 1 network?

I've got everything all connected as per description instructions, and the destination barrel 'snaps to' from the pipe, which means it's detected. I tried a straight line to the barrel, looked like it wasn't connected but it did transfer water (ONCE), waited about 40 in game minutes nothing was happening, so I did a curve and it did the correct snap/model change to show it linked to the barrel.

Restarted the pump system, still doesn't seem to be working. The source barrel(s?) that I initially connected the pump itself to are still 400/400 too despite apparently 'one tick' of progress happening (end-barrel 25/400 to 41/400).

Thinking maybe my loop is confusing the network? or I have to leave the chunk and come back?

t will be done but not anytime soon
TEMPEST Mar 29 @ 2:46am 
Is there any hope at all of this being B42 compliant or has the new liquid system totally broken this approach?
Kuchugury Mar 26 @ 4:20am 
I build my first pump on floor in garage but i want to remove pump and I don't know how i can't use any tools to remove him. Can you help me how to remove pump on the ground?
Lone Wolf Mar 23 @ 3:37pm 
I meant charcoal, not filter.
Lone Wolf Mar 23 @ 3:35pm 
@Capitão Leleu : Same issue. I even made sure the filter was installed before turning on the pump.
scrson Mar 17 @ 12:58pm 
*update* After installing 4 water pumps in perpendicular around the well, the water fills up nicely, though I'm not sure if that or by closing & opening the game solve it.
Capitão Leleu Mar 16 @ 8:08pm 
I'm adding charcoal to filter the water, but it remains tainted. I'm doing something wrong?
scrson Mar 15 @ 11:25pm 
Hi, I can't collect water in the water barrel which is 3 stories/level up from a well water source with 1 pump only. The only mod I can think of that modifies the barrels are irrigation mod.

I haven't tried using multiple pumps yet though to see if it could solve this.

top load laundry unit (east facing), south facing toilet and north facing sink cant be hooked up to all building plumbing, unless there is another factor to, that for some reason didn't allow them to be hooked up, they do not fill with water for me.

Is there a way to check how pipes are doing and water flow without there being a valve intersection? I'd like to know if my building is receiving water as sometimes the containers don't fill in a building.
