how do you plumb it?
Get a pipe wrench, then plumb the sink
vague lion
didnt know you had to do that, thanks

It also purifys the water so it is safe to drink
vague lion
i just tried, it doesnt say anything about plumbing once i right click the sink

"inside" is likely being the finicky culprit here. it usually is in these situations
you can cheese it by building 3 wall frames around the sink and a door frame in front of it (just around that 1x1 sink tile)
that should count as indoors, and after it's plumbed you can remove those frames and it'll remain connected

i'll try real quick. Give me a sec
pale ginkgo
just saw your pics, yeah it's most likely gonna be the issue
that porch is considered outside by the game
but once you get frames up it should work. keyword: should lol
the plumbing system is overly finicky and annoying sometimes
sometimes once you get everything set up correctly you need to leave the cell and return for that tile to "update" - i think exiting to menu and reloading the save would do the same thing though
or if it's MP, leave and rejoin
actually wait
I bet it's the pillar
those pillars for some reason interfere with this, they break the "indoors" thing
I'm referring to this one:
remove that pillar and give it another try
(the exterior corner piece)
(for reference, here's another person who had the same issue, so you know I'm not just making stuff up lol.. sounds wacky I know): https://www.reddit.com/r/projectzomboid/comments/sjz9p0/cant_figure_out_why_i_cant_plumb_these/
pale ginkgo

vague lion

vague lion
tysm man
pale ginkgo
can remove all the walls if you wanted to even, they can be outside after they're plumbed, just can't plumb them unless they're inside. it's weird
oh god lol. well glad it's working now!
the early water struggle can definitely be rough sometimes 🙂

vague lion

another couple of months and you can check out winter

trapping is good for food during winter, but depending on loot settings it might not be necessary if non-perishable food is easy to find
fishing can be viable but you need to get it up to level 7-8 beforehand, which can be a chore if you aren't near a lake or river
vague lion
im soon going to raid the mall in riverside and try to store the cans
pale ginkgo
stock up on water since in vanilla the water collectors stop working (unless you use the Snow Is Water mod)

pale ginkgo
water dispensers are great for mass water storage, each dispenser can store 250 units
check offices/etc and you'll find a few
