If you want properly aligned pipes - start building them from the base to the water source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rotatable pipes, 90* horizontal pipes, or even a device similar to an electric junction box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is if you are assuming @Todgins is talking about the Dino TLC pass. Could be talking about the Building TLC pass for all we know as it's not specified ! When the building TLC pass eventually comes... I hope they fix a huge number of annoyances with how building works in this game. I was quite disappointed when it wasn't addressed before we got the official release. But hey ?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What building TLC pass? But then you go on to say it’s not been specified. So it doesn’t exist, right? The integration of Structures Plus will help because it’s the only effective “building TLC” they can do without a complete overhaul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
20GT Posted January 15, 2018 Author Share Posted January 15, 2018 What are these passes of which you speak? Pass or patch? Is it something we buy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dino TLC pass is upcoming update which will be released in phases to address changes to mostly the old dinos. Info on that can be found on a pinned thread at the top of the general discussion area. The building mechanics have been somewhat addressed so parts of the S+ mod will be integrated into the base game at a later date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CourteousD Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 S+ does include a flexible connector to join two electrical networks together that wouldn't otherwise align, can't remember if there is also one for water pipes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captin' Hindsight says "always start from where you want to end up and build out towards the water..." also a ladder can be a big help to line things up straight.

MirageUK Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Pipes I tend to line up to my foundations by placing a Pipe Intersection (x) on the corner foundation of my house which sits just below the foundation top - so visible between foundations but otherwise "underground". I then run the pipes out of the building and down to the water source. From that 1st corner piece I can then go all around the inside walls of my house, adding verticals where needed to add taps and such. Similar technique with power lines. I place a generator then add a vertical from generator upwards to provide the initial cable to join. I then place an intersection on top of that to give me 4 directions from the generator to head in. It looks a little messy and I could probably do the intersection stuff underground but find it easier to start with a vertical into intersection - then use verticals from each end to go back into the ground and then lay straight around the room using intersections on the corners.

MirageUK Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Then on our Island server we have this witchcraft going on. The vertical cable comes from the generator.. the horizontal unconnected cable, somehow gets wireless power from the vertical cable?!? No mods.
