We're using a mod to make an area claimable, we built our safehouse there. Since sinks can only have plumbing when inside an actual in-game house, the sink we placed inside our "custom" built house is considered outdoor (I think), because there are no option for plumbing even when there is a rain catcher above it.
Are there mods or built-in feature that can enable this?

This is something you can do in the base game. Sometimes the game is finicky in what is considered "inside" vs "outside" Is this a private server/singleplayer world? If so you can load the game in debug mode and check out the ISO Regions, it might help you figure out what is keeping your player made building from being considered indoors

Hi nugerts, thanks for the reply. The world is MP on a dedicated server. Is it possible to load the game in debug mode if I use an admin user?
cloud saffron
Yes, you can only log into a server in debug if the profile has admin privileges
You need to type -debug in your game launch options (this is under properties in steam)
vague flare
thanks. will try to search first how to navigate on debug mode. first time I'll be doing it
got it. thanks man.
then if I login on admin user. that's the time debug mode is only enabled, right?
not on my normal user
cloud saffron
You just launch the game in debug mode then join normally. After you are done with debug mode you can turn it off by deleting the "-debug" in your launch options
vague flare
will try it now.
do you know the command to check the regions? or can you point me out to the command list for debug mode? so I won't take much of your time
cloud saffron
You will need to click on the bug icon on the left then click "Dev" Under dev you should see ISO Regions
vague flare
if it's green. considered indoors?
cloud saffron
Iso Regions will tell you what the game considers to be indoors, and you can fiddle around and see if you can get your player made structure
vague flare
thanks. i'll try to play with for now. big help man, really appreciate it.

With the door/wall missing
after placing the door you can see the game recognizes it as a "indoor" area
vague flare
i see
cloud saffron
You see how the square changes in color?
vague flare
if a color fills the area. it's indoor?
cloud saffron
Yes
vague flare
let me check again on mine
i think mine has no fill. let me login again real quikc
weird. my player built house is enclosed
cloud saffron
From here you can place your water containers on the roof and plumb a sink. (Fyi water must be above and to the sides)
vague flare
yup. rain collector is above and outside
cloud saffron
Not directly above. but above and to the sides
vague flare
this is indoors right?
yup. mine is above then 1 tile to the side
but when i use a pipe wrench then right click
there's is no menu for plumbing
does the raincatcher need water in it?
if not, i'll try to move them and play around
cloud saffron
Hmmm.... It looks like it's considered indoors, if the placement is correct it should be working....
cloud saffron
does the raincatcher need water in it?
no it doesn't
vague flare
got it. i'll try to move them in a different location
does it only work 1 floor above?
cloud saffron
My best advice would be walling off your rooms and closing them with a doorway.
vague flare
or does it work for example, sink on 1st floor, but catcher on 3rd floor
cloud saffron
Uuuuhhh. I'm not certain on that point. I think that works, but it might not.

let me try those
vague flare
Uuuuhhh. I'm not certain on that point. I think that works, but it might not.
i'll try 1 floor above first. if i get it to work then I'll try next floor higher
thanks again man
i think I can figure this one out with this info
cloud saffron
Np. I've fixed my fair share of plumbing issues. Next time you see someone struggling with this help them out. Have a good one
vague flare
i think i got it now
because of the wildsafehouse mod
the barrel is still in range of the claimed lot
it's considered indoors
or is it okay for barrel to be indoors just needs above the sink?
cloud saffron
wildsafehouse mod?
vague flare
yes. it's a mod I use to claim a player built house. make it a safehouse
cloud saffron
Hmmm... I have no experience with that mod, but I assume it works the same as an Admin custom safehouse claim
vague flare
yes. it works that way
cloud saffron
Safehouse zones should not affect it being able to be plumbed
vague flare
got it. then maybe there is really something wrong in my setup
weird because it's considered indoors in the region checker
cloud saffron
When ever I plumb my water bins are on the top of my safehouse but are not enclosed
vague flare
thanks man!
got it to work now
the barrel position is what's wrong. not sure why
but does it need to be 1 tile away only?
cloud saffron
Awesome good to hear dude!
vague flare
it does not work on 2 tiles?
cloud saffron
You will need another water container above and to the side of the sink you cant plumb
