Automated water system

Post by hun3 »

I'm not sure if this is even exist but I was wondering if there is a mod or script that makes supplying water automatic just like we have for the animals but for factories. I play on slovak village and I spend a lot of time refill the water tanks for my factories. I mean in real life you would just hook up the faucet.

I havent tried but I assume the animal water pump wouldnt work with factories is it?

Before the animal mod I'd place a water standpipe near the trough and keep filling and emptying the tanker but not needing to move maybe give that a try.

On Sussex Farms, playing with Seasons on, there is an auto-topper-upper for the animal troughs. From memory it's under "animal pens"

Not sure if this is available on other maps though, and won't appear if you play without Seasons :)

Can't you place the water spouts from the Extended Animals mod in Giants Editor? I don't know if they only work on animals or any water trigger though...

I think the maps have to support the Animal Extended mod, so maps like Greenwich Valley and Oakfield support it, but they should say if they have that capability enabled

I believe the animal mod was updated to work on all maps,certainly since it updated I have yet to find a map it doesn't work on. Pre update sometimes the water standpipes could spawn in beneath the map.

I play on console so no tap, I put a water standpipe right next to the water trough and leave a attachable home made water weight so it triggers both. Then I activate the water refill the weight and then unload into the trough.

This fills the weight and the trough at the same time, you know it’s full up when the weight fills and stops emptying out.

Technically a glitch however it means I don’t need a 60K tanker for water.
