Mist generation problem
« on: August 09, 2014, 07:23:28 pm »

i am trying to make more than one mini mist generators in a row and i can only seem to get one going.  i have tried each separately and they all work, just not all at once.  i have taken a picture of it when the middle of the three was running and the bottom picture is the next floor down. i have 3000 excess power so i know that's not the problem.

before i do what i'm planning, will it work on a different z level? i want to put them around my meeting hall aswell; perhaps i need to connect them all?

They look alright to me.

I once did a 16+ pump mist generator over my dining hall, but decided it was a massive overkill. I forgot if I used clusters of 4 pumps or if it was all linked together with 1 stack of 7 water going through all pumps in turn. Now I just use a 4 pump setup with social zones both under it and in all 4 places where the water can be on the upper level (over floor grates). It seems sufficient, is faster to build and even trains some drowning swimming.

so i had to jump at the opportunity for some science; I found that only one would work, but it didn't matter how big it was so i made it as long as possible

The guard statues on the left and right aren't all muddy - is the water actually circulating in all 3 of them?
