I cannot, for the life of me, understand liquids. If something says 10m head lift, that means it can go up 10m, right? RIGHT? it doesn’t. It stalls on a 4m foundation. I’m so frustrated. I shove pumps everywhere and still nothing works. I even have 2 pipes next to each other but one works and the other doesn’t! ARRRGGHHHH

I’m JUUUUUUUUUST about to package everything and conveyor belt it.

    Hold down control and mouse over with the pump selected. It will show you how far the head lift is and allow you to snap the pump to that location.

      This is what I do. Also when placing it shows a blue ring traveling the pipe in the pump direction, and where it ends is a snap location using Ctrl.

      Also when building longer verticals through floors, after placing the pumps I usually end up replacing the pipes between 2 pumps if there is a floor hole in between and pull the pipe from pump to pump, leaving the floor hole only as decoration.
