I got a 3x3 barrel grid (half built) that I want to connect my sink to that is directly below.
Even though the barrels contain waiter, I dont seem to be able to connect them.

The barrels at the house wall worked and connected fine with the inside sink.

Unable to connect sinks to rain collectors

Oh, so placing 3 single walls around, would that help?

karmic viper
#

Just build a 2x1 wall around it and if you did it right the outside should shift to a blue color.

#

4 walls it needs to be enclosed

vague fjord
#

is 4 walls 1x1 with a window sufficient too?

karmic viper
#

no

vague fjord
#

rip, okay :)

#

thanks a bunch

karmic viper
#

But you can use the frames you can climb through

vague fjord
#

that is great to know

karmic viper
#

for some reason the frames are considered as solid walls but windows aren't until you put an actual window in there... Wack

vague fjord
#

yeah, logics :)

karmic viper
#

Also after you plumb it you can remove the walls. It doesn't disconnect so yeah.

#

Also btw you need a pipe wrench. Just to like make sure lol.

vague fjord
#

@karmic viper still cant connect, within a 2x2 tile set and 7/8 walls. Does it need to have walls on all sides ... and potentially even flooring?

#

pipe wrench is in my hand too

karmic viper
#

You can climb through them so it doesn't really matter

vague fjord
#

alright

#

still nothing :(

karmic viper
#

how the fuck

#

Try right clicking a few more times cause sometimes you can miss the sink. Or try disassembling and reassembling a wall to update it.

vague fjord
#

7/8 are just empty frames, the other is the lvl 1 wall

karmic viper
#

There's a damn plumb helper mod but yeah.

#

Maybe it'll help but yeah

vague fjord
#

I try to be as vanilla as possible on our small server :)

#

but ill check it out

karmic viper
#

Yea.

#

Plumbing is kinda confusing cause it doesn't give you shit to work with.

vague fjord
#

But in general, I can have a "free standing shack with rain barrels directly above in +-1 " right? Like anywhere usually?

#

Oh may it be the one barrel directly above, that I HAVE to leave that spot free?

karmic viper
#

I think. Plumbing in this game terrifies me cause it does not make sense most of the time.

#

Just plumb a sink and never touch that shit again lmao. It's an actual horror

vague fjord
#

maybe it is caused by all of the rain barrels being adjacent to those already connected to the inside sink?

#

the inside

#

3 rain barrels are connected to the one inside sink already

#

and the others are touching them

#

ill just try that

karmic viper
#

maybe

vague fjord
#

WAT THE FUCK ...

#

It was the Wooden Pillar!

karmic viper
#

why the fuck lmao

vague fjord
#

Before I built the wall segment there, as I could not place any more floating floor tiles at the first floor ... I placed a wooden pillar trying to use it as "foundation"

#

that didnt work but I didnt remove it

#

when I connect the sink now, will the new rain collectors that I'll add later be added to the grid too or not?
