Suggestion: Irrigations system Part Two

Crumpaloo · 2018-12-21 08:07:18

So i looked at my earlier post and thought i could do better so i made some more parts that i thought would fit with which im gonna resummerize for those that didnt see the original one.

So this is a pretty rudimentary showing of what i think it should look like

Heres the new one i made except using cisterns:

Like i also said i created other parts for the irrigation idea here:

4 way Irrigation Pipe:

Irrigation Pipe A:

Irrigation Pipe B:

Irrigation Pipe Corner TR:

Irrigation Pipe Corner BR:

Irrigation Pipe Corner BL:

Irrigation Pipe Corner TL:

Irrigation Pipe 3 Way Up:

Irrigation Pipe 3 Way Down:

Irrigation Pipe 3 Way Left:

Irrigation Pipe 3 Way Right:

Cut Irrigation Pipe With Bow Saw:

Irrigation Pipe Half A:

Irrigation Pipe Half B:

Heres a list of item combinations to go along with this idea:

Long Wood Shaft + Newcomen Bore = Irrigation Pipe

Irrigation Pipe + Bow Saw = Cut Irrigation Pipe With Bow Saw

Irrigation Pipe Half + Irrigation Pipe Half = Irrigation Pipe Corner

Irrigation Pipe Half + Irrigation Pipe = Irrigation Pipe 3 Way

Irrigation Pipe + Irrigation Pipe = Irrigation Pipe 4 Way

North/South Stakes + Irrigation Pipe = Irrigation Pipe B

East/West Stakes + Irrigation Pipe = Irrigation Pipe A

Stone + Irrigation Pipe 3 Way = Irrigation Pipe 3 Way (up/left)

Stone + Irrigation Pipe 3 Way (up/left) = Irrigation Pipe 3 Way (down/right)

Stone + Irrigation Pipe 3 Way (down/right) = Irrigation Pipe 3 Way

North/South Stakes + Irrigation Pipe 3 Way (up/left) = Irrigation Pipe 3 Way Up

East/West Stakes + Irrigation Pipe 3 way (up/left) = Irrigation Pipe 3 Way Left

North/South Stakes + Irrigation Pipe 3 Way (down/right) = Irrigation Pipe 3 Way Down

East/West Stakes + Irrigation Pipe 3 Way (down/right) = Irrigation Pipe 3 Way Right

Floor Stakes + Irrigation Pipe 4 Way = Irrigation Pipe 4 Way (Is built on the ground like a floor in this version)

Stone + Irrigation Pipe Corner = Irrigation Pipe Corner (TL/TR)

Stone + Irrigation Pipe Corner (TL/TR) = Irrigation Pipe Corner (BL/BR)

Stone + Irrigation Pipe Corner (BL/BR) = Irrigation Pipe Corner

Noth/South Stakes + Irrigation Pipe Corner (TL/TR) = Irrigation Pipe Corner TL

East/West Stakes + Irrigation Pipe Corner (TL/TR) = Irrigation Pipe Corner TR

North/South Stakes + Irrigation Pipe Corner (BL/BR) = Irrigation Pipe Corner BL

East/West Stakes + Irrigation Pipe Corner (BL/BR) = Irrigation Pipe Corner BR

Adez + Any Irrigation Pipe = Taking The Pipe Off The Floor

Now that that big load of combinations is outta the way i wanna talk about where these pipes should be carrying water from and thought of two possible options:

1. Newcomen pump

2. cistern

Both have potential to generate large amounts of water into the pipes themselves fairly easy and i cant really think of any other methods unless you guys got any ideas.

If you like this idea upvote it on subreddit thanks: https://www.reddit.com/r/OneLifeSuggest … g_recipes/

I'm onto for everything that includes aqueducts!

Oh! so i guess this is also a good time to make my toga suggestion post? jk the insulation on that is too op imo.

I suppose the roman cities would have worked without togas just as well.

Yeah, i just like the idea of irrigation in general, not like so every village can use it, but like only the ones that get advance to a certain point that way they can focus on doing other stuff on the tech tree then having to take care of a big farm when everyone is driving cars.

Ok manage to have them show up as photos now so they should be easier to see all at once...

I wouldn't put too much work into the idea unless you're just spitballing for fun: It's incredibly unlikely the suggestion would ever be implemented. The entire engine is based around, probably for performance and work effort reasons, "Add x to y to make z, or x decays over time into y with no knowledge of its surroundings". Every object added to the game uses this, even when it has super awkward implementation to preserve this (like hitting stakes with a rock 5 times to make the road type, or whacking a steel bar like 8 times to make a shovel head). Unless you want aqueducts to give infinite water, you're basically asking for gigantic network systems, water flow, blah blah, etc etc, which is unlikely to exist in the multiplayer setting with this engine. You'd be better off working out these problems before selling the idea first.

What about combining the pipes to the bushes, then adding water to the pipes and having them automatically water the bushes when they get dry? That sounds alot more simpler then actual blocks depending on the reading of other blocks? maybe a line of code that checks the bush block for x and if requirments x are met then it does y etc.

Edit: ah misread your post. Maybe could work. It would need an object for every farm plot, unless extra code were added to handle that. I don't know a whole lot about the engine yet, I just know water flow from pipe to pipe is a lot of work.

You're saying basically a cistern-like object for individual bushes I guess then? Like you put a bucket of water in, and it waters the bushes every so often.

At that point maybe you might just want to make it sprinklers xD Get all them stardew valley fans :3

Well water flowing physics or not, thanks for the feedback! also when you talked about sprinkler like things i thought about this lol:

Was thinking about posting it on the reddit for suggestions but it looks pretty dead in comparison to the fourms, maybe make a sperate post there? idk

Posted some new concept drawing with a cistern instead of the pump

Crumpaloo · 2019-01-05 09:43:20

Honestly im not sure what the sort of reservoir for the irrigation system would look like, any ideas?

wio · 2019-01-05 11:45:37

Irrigation should probably take up a tile, and water the adjacent tiles. It should probably use rubber hoses as well. Maybe we want water towers first.

Yeah thats what im thinking, but i wouldnt know how one would go about what to combined to make those tbh...
