How to run WATER and IRRIGATION in Ark Survival Ascended

[@Crabbytron]

CORRECTION: For crops you don't even need to set a tap near them they autofill from the intake. I think there was a slight delay in the connection when I was placing them down. But you don't need a tap for crops. The crop plot just needs to be in the range of your intake

[@MrHauntMe]

Thanks a lot , i was looking for a range extend mod on my server but i'll add your video on my discord instead :)

[@swagosaurus144]

Ngl I’m gonna miss having all those pipelines and cables going all throughout my base, makes it look cooler to me for some reason, but this is much easier so im not that sad about it. Although I wish there’ll be an option where you can turn needing to build those pipelines and cables

[@Crabbytron]

Maybe someone will make a mod. For sure getting piping to an Indy cooker was always a pain. Some people love the struggle. I can see this reducing a lot of clutter

I'm brand new to this game and have been having trouble finding videos like this one. Thank you. I see tons of Ark videos but all of them assume I've played all 100 previous versions of the game and have basic knowledge. I've been playing for a week and learning as I go. Having a great time with it. But quick, simple videos like this really help. I'll be reviewing your other videos.

As a PVP player that is the base builder. This is a godsend. And ty for the easy vid.

[@Crabbytron]

A lot of pvp don’t seem to like it. Idk why they kiss the pipes this is so easy! What do you think of the electrical

[@myself8354]

I do enjoy the quality of life this change has brought. But there was something immersive about having to figure out and plan how you are going to lead pipes back to base. Being forced to do tricks such as building a basement in your house to hide the pipes and electrical wires. Or hide the wires in between wall pieces so they blend in made us get creative in our base designs. It was a limitation that challenged us to design bases that got around it. I do think the game is better off without it though. All those pipes and wires, especially with a large base caused excessive lag. And only needing 2 engrams (the intake and the reservoir) made your crafting menu less cluttered and also allowed you to use those engram points for other things. Same with the changes they made for structures. Instead of needing 4 separate engrams for a wall, window and it's door variants. You only need the wall now and can cycle through them when you go to place it down.

[@Crabbytron]

I 100% agree with you. I kinda miss the old challenges but at the end of the day all the engrams and giant laggy pipes were problematic especially pipes stuck in the ground you could not pick yo

[@myself8354]

@Crabbytron since they removed pipes all together does that mean that trick where you build a pipe grid and then connect a bunch of water tanks to it and then leave render to have the tanks slowly fill with water doesn't work anymore? You now need to have access to a water source that's actually on the map somewhere?

[@Crabbytron]

@@myself8354 Did you watch the video you just need an intake and tank and you can move water to your place

[@myself8354]

@Crabbytron yes I did, I was talking about situations where you are far away from a water source such as the red zone on aberration where its not very practical to build pipes all the way to your base. In situations like that you could build a bunch of water tanks and connect them to your bass via a pipe grid and then leave render and the water tanks will slowly fill with water to irrigate your base. But since they removed pipes from survival ascended I didn't know if that trick still works or not. That trick was very useful because you can have all your water tanks and pipes inside your base where they couldn't be attacked by players or wild creatures. Without it you now need to have a trail of water tanks leading to your base from a water source. Making it easier to cut off your water supply.

[@Crabbytron]

@@myself8354 how did the tanks fill up on abberation with no rain?

[@PrazimProductions]

Thank you much. Been trying to figure out the new way to run water, since they removed pipes. The other couple of videos I found on the subject didn’t mention the arrow on the water tanks. I thought it was just the direction of the intake.
Much obliged.

So if I have a water tank and a crop plot within the range of the tank I don't need a tap OR an intake pipe. Although an intake will fill the tank up quicker I guess

[@Crabbytron]

@@fletcherhemmise7236 you need and I take you don’t need the tank if the crop plot is close enough to the intake.
If it’s far you’ll need a tank to move the water closer to your base

[@laurelhall7984]

[@Crabbytron]

[@ladyteruki]

It does not seem to make a lot of sense that the intake pipe has a radius... that absolutely does not matter for the water tank. You were still far away from the limits of the irrigation area when the tank's blue arrow disappeared. That doesn't compute for me. What's the logic in that ?

[@Crabbytron]

I know I didn’t explain it in the video but it rank does have a range but I could still connect them when the two blue bubbles were far apart
That’s why the arrows made more sense

[@ladyteruki]

@@Crabbytron Hm, I see. It's kinda odd how it's designed tbh XD

[@HuginMunin]

The intake pipe radius is for any nearby items that can be directly irrigated. You don't need to place additional tanks if your base is already near water.

[@Crabbytron]

@@HuginMunin yup but you do if it’s far

Pipeless water is great. That i need to place X amount of water reservoar to get water to my base not so much.

[@HuginMunin]

@@BedRocker- It's much faster and easier to set up than pipes, and because it's area based, it's way more flexible with less hassle at the site of your base, which might need several individual water lines going in different directions. Now one tank services everything in any direction nearby.

[@whislo7187]

Is there any way I can irrigate my crops on a raft?

[@spottedot]

Is there a way to get water without having an intake pipe? Like with rain and water containers?
Do the different water container tiers have different radii?

[@Crabbytron]

Oh good question I can test metal versus water tonight. I would always pick intake over rain due to consistency and when you get to Indy cooker or greenhouse level having one intake with a tank is more efficient than loads of tanks

[@spottedot]

@@Crabbytron That's fair. Just curious if it will work the same way for ASA. ASE had the option to gather condensation basically for water containers, which was enough to permanently irrigate crops, even if you couldn't run the industrial cooker. Useful if you built far away from water, which happens a lot on servers with really high player counts or officials where people excessively land claim.
