Water extractors field - 20 extractors

Hello this is awesome. It would be a great benefit to have this blueprint with MK2 Pumps and each Mk2 600/min output. I have even no idea who to get that thing done with a the Blueprint designer

What an incredible blueprint. This has made my larger builds so much easier to manage. Thank you!

Kool Kevin no, because something like pipe distributor doesnt exists. It is build by people, which have no idea, how fluid mechanism in this game works. In a worst case, they use valves to control flow speed and have no idea, how valves works. They set 200 on valve and believe, on out side of valve there will be 200m3/min. But this happen only in case, that on input pipe there is maximum pressure. If pressure on input side is 75%, on valve output they get 150, instead of 200. If possible, avoid using valves, it is just trouble makers. Concerning fluid distribution, simple split pipe and let machine distribute it by demands. For example you have extractor sending 300 to pipe, then junction, split pipe to 2 pipes and on one pipe put machine with demand 100m3/min and on second pipe 200. Fluids works like in real life, first machine consume 100 and rest will be send to second machine. And rest is 200. So flow in one pipe will be 100, in second pipe 200. Machines by itself split it exactly, how it needs. Just be sure, on input you have at minimum sum of all machine demands. And it is irrelevant, if one machine needs 200 and second 20 per minute. There is also something called back flow. It happened, when fluid reach end of pipe, it bump there and try to flow opposite way. As a result, your pipe is not able to transfer maximum pipe speed. Mainly it happen with MK2 and sending 600/min per pipe. Easiest solution, dont use pipe on their max transfer rate. Instead of 600, design it to send max 500 per pipe. If you really need 600, use loop solution, where more less there is no pipe end, so no bumping, no back flow issue. Feel free to contact me on discord, if you need more help.

Any plans on a Pipe Distributer I saw one on here, but had zero use instructions (looked good though). Any suggestions for running 4 pipes of oil into one and pulling off verious amounts? i.e. 300cm/m, 75 cm/m and 150cm/m Thanks for your help.

Works great, of course! I only have to wire 2 at a time (or I could just shut the pumps off) so this meets todays and tommarows water needs! Thanks so much!

BadInfluence yes, you are right. I didnt want to mentioned it in description, but you already shared this information, so it is public now. Extractors are fixed to some water source, so doesnt matter, where you will build them, they will always works and pump water. But remember, they are water extractor, it will be nice at least, if you build them on water.

lmfao, i was able to place in the desert and it still worked. i just did it to see if it worked and was shocked when it did, i might just use this at the waterfall hole in the desert and make a build around it to look like its harvesting water from the ground there!

Awesome setup, I do wish there was a copy of the blueprint that used mk2 pipes after upgrading it 30 times. Won't fit into a mk3 blueprint design and I'd rather not use mods to adjust for my first 1.0 run

Awesome setup! Works Great and helped me solve a water delivery issue to my coal generators. Not to mention how I was able to clean a spaghetti mess with my pipeline.

Works great as of 1.0, build 367101. Love the scalability - I took two rows off the back and set all the pumps to 100 output to use in conjunction with the ultra compact oil power plant, then modified the pipes out to get 8x400 water Mk 2 pipes to feed two plants. Had to leave the pumps as is, though, as I could not find a way to re-wire, but the electric cost is laughably negligible.
