Can't get water from the river to the wash plant. I tried posting some screen shots, but must have been too many. I have a big electric pump. 2 sections of huge hose ran at about 80ft ea to the intake, 2 sections from the discharge to the plant also about 80ft ea. Green water indicator at the pump when pump is running, but white indicators everywhere else. When pump is off, I get a red indicator everywhere. Not sure if this is a bug or user error.

Tried adding a second pump, it did not change anything. Green water icon at the source pump, white icons at the relay pump and on down the line.

Hi @shut sinew, any chance for a video of this setup? Or at lease some screenshots. You can send it to me by DM 🙂

water source, the river above the wash plant, near the fast travel sign at waterfall valley

I have 2 hoses connected to the intake, not fully stretched out, you can see the white water symbol on the connector and the green on the pump.

I have two hoses connected from the pump to the wash plant, not fully stretched out, with the pump running, all white water symbols. With the pump turn off, all the water symbols turn red

I have added a second pump closer to the wash plant, but it didn't change anything.

I will try to figure out how to get a video and walk through it. I can't imagine the intention was to run a few thousand feet of hose from a water tower to this area lol. But a miner has to do what a miner has to do!

Ok, I figured this out with the help of a veteran player. Turns out I was trying to supply a T5 washplant with a big electric pump, which apparently doesn't have the GPM to run the Glacier Creek! So...yeah...what's up with that anyway??? I ran hose from both water towers and the tower at the cabin was just barely close enough to work. So, no bug after all, just user error.
