are you aware of the pipe issue in update for at the moment they're extremely broken for fluids at the moment what specifically is is there a pipe issue that you know of mark no no and nothing should have changed either I feel like the biggest issue or if anything with pipes is that they're not super easy to understand what's going on and I guess that's the problem with fluid dynamics in general I remember when we launched update 3 and we tried to explain like how the dylan explained like how the fluid dynamics work and we had someone like who was like a some kind of engineer and it was like I'm so glad that it's not realistic because it's like not fun to have proper proper fluid dynamics, yeah we discussed a lot of different ways of doing it back then as well and I'm I'm not a hundred percent sure still if it's like the best way of going about it because it is complicated still yeah do you have any things that you know like do you have any idea what you would want to change with the fluid dynamics if you had to change them or no I mean that's kind of the problem right because you want all this these things that it can do you you kind of want to have the whole head lift stuff, which is the main thing I think that actually makes it complicated right it's like why does it flow why doesn't it flow well and it oscillates as well which is actually kind of people up that they're not directional they just go wherever they can which is what what fluids inside of pipes do but you kind of always feel that when you connect it to an output and then to an input it's just gonna go from one place to the other but depending on how you set that up and what kind of shenanigans you do it might not behave as you expect right so the question might have been to the due to the fact that we moved the model the mesh for okay so if it's the same person or not I'm not quite sure because I actually lost the previous question but they're no longer connected to my water pumps they still work but they're like skewed that has to do with the fact that the model the actual like the water extractor model was not like centered and we didn't notice this until we implemented the the, snapping functionality to the game and when we snapped it it was like it's snapping but why is it off and then we noticed that the model was like off a little bit from this collision so that's why and and you just need to rebuild them and that's it they still work
