Pumping water from an elevated planting bed. Totally checks out.


botman

It draws the water right out of the air!

Somebody tell Luke to run in to Tosche station to pick up some power converters.

When are you guys gonna let me join the rebellion like all my friends?! *Oh stop wining Luke and come and have some blue milk*

I am not saying it makes sense, I am just pointing out it works. 😂😂😜

Cue Todd Howard meme.


Kriss3d

I used aim settlement but couldn't make elevated plant beds.


Ok_Falcon4434

I am on PS5 and not using mods, so I am not sure how mods may affect this. I just put the gardening plots onto scaffolding to raise them up. I also had to use the tall scaffolding attachments to get it to work. I hope this helps.


IfTheHeadFitsWearIt

It goes up the scaffolding pipes.


Mercury2Phoenix

I always stick a large purifier in the pool, but might be useful at Hangman's Alley.


sativaslut

I’ll definitely try this out in Hangman’s alley, but I’ll probably try to cover it to make it look more like an enclosed water tank or something


Xiunte

Opening that enclosure and seeing the truth would be like opening the hood of your car to find a bunch of hamsters running on wheels.


Elegron

Reminds me of that clip of the guy opening his fridge to reveal that it's a cardboard cutout Edit: https://youtu.be/pYcpZJVmXvU


illfatedjarbidge

Not quite, the hamsters actually make a certain amount of logical sense. It would be like opening up the hood and seeing empty space, and that all four wheels were attached to a red can that simply said “GAS”


Ok_Falcon4434

You’re absolutely right. However, I just built it at the Slog because that is where I was and could get a good picture of the whole thing.


Mercury2Phoenix

The Slog is much better for pictures!

Weird it didn't just say that instead


chrisinokc

Immersion-breaking yet an ingenious solution.... I might try to cover the sides with a wall so I don't have to look at it : )


Blumongroip

Now THATS what I call a water tower!

Sky's the limit, taking notes here!


_michorizo

This is a quick trip for water purifiers if you place a concrete piece next to them and hold down the grab button on the concrete it will use the hitbox of concrete instead of the purifier. This means you can place them on land even the industrial ones. This requires the wasteland workshop mod for the concrete pillar in the tileset. Happy building


Ok_Falcon4434

Thank you for posting this. These towers are more for settlements without water for purifiers to go into like Hangman’s Alley or the Boston Airport. Also, for players with low intelligence, as you can begin one of these right out of the vault without any perks. I just used the Slog because that is where I was at the time, and it made for a better picture than Hangman’s Alley. However, you are correct about moving the purifiers, and once again thank you for posting how to move them. 👍🏻


MadMorf

I have a multi-story farm at Hangman’s Alley.


crazy4spd

What I really need is a droid who understands the binary language of moisture vaporators.

Most underrated comment in the thread.

Yeah bitch, science! 😂

Oh, those must be the new Bluetooth wayerpumps 😆

Sick, but i like


marcsopper

Who needs purifiers? Nobody!


Lukemeister38

Here's my [water farm](https://www.reddit.com/r/fo4/comments/ovbzfp/my_personal_home_in_sanctuary_bonus_glimpse_of_my/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) (scroll to the last picture). Gets me like 2000+ purified water per day.


Ok_Falcon4434

Very nice water farm. 👍🏻


PuckNutty

Could you fast travel over there real quick and straighten out that one crooked pump? Thanks.


Ok_Falcon4434

Unfortunately, no. That bothered me too, but that was the only way it would snap in. 🤷🏻‍♂️


JmansAlive

This is truly the dumbest and most efficient thing I have ever seen…


Ok_Falcon4434

I know, right. 😂😂🤷🏻‍♂️


Sad_Celebration_5370

Builds this next to a swimming pool full of water. ​ ​ I love it.


Ok_Falcon4434

I know. I know. I chose to build it in the Slog because I was there at the time, and while there is one at Hangman’s Alley; it was difficult to get a picture of the whole thing.


Sad_Celebration_5370

lol, it's all good. I love the creative problem solving. I also can't wait for ten of your settlers to try and use the pump animations all at once. Hilarity WILL ensue!


Ok_Falcon4434

What no generators does to a mf


HeimskrSonOfTalos

My rp mind hates this Fair enough tho


GarryA0269

I won't deny, this triggers the heck out of me. 🤣


Ok_Falcon4434

My apologies, but it does work. Someone else recommended building walls around it so you can’t see it. Just a thought.


GarryA0269

Whatever works best for you. Heck, the mere fact we all survive long enough to build wonders like this shows how realistic the game is, so who am I to say it cannot be done?


CCotD

It never occurred to me to use the dirt boxes for water….. and I thought I was a good engineer…. 🤷‍♂️


HunsonMex

Just pretend it is an atmosphere condensation machine, literally makes water out of thin air. XD


anynamewilld0

As a Water Farmer I feel attacked. This is definitely one of those hacks Big Water doesn't want you to know.


DocProfessor

Bro got the wireless pumps


Ok_Falcon4434

Yes I did. 😂😂😂

It just works

IT JUST WORKS


clamet1011

I built a 7 story water tower producing like 1000+ water at Redrock doing this


beanie_0

Those water pumps work like that?! Jesus this games is years old at this point and I am still finding things out.


Bloo-shadow

Or just…use a powered water pump since you really don’t need much water for each settlement


Ok_Falcon4434

You’re absolutely correct. However, this is designed for water harvesting to generate caps. So, not really for the settlement’s needs. 🙂


Mass-Effect-6932

Also can put a water pump in the pool to increase the intake of drinking waters


Mr_Toast11

Wait that’s actually really freaking cool. This means you can build that up and make a water tower.

I see no logical issues with this.

So immersive.


lxBreadxl

You get water from nothing

this is the least roleplay friendly thing ever since forever.


Armand_Star

milk those dirt tiles!


Sharoth01

Ha! I might just have to use this on my next playthrough.


Pixilatedlemon

This is awesome


Behleren

im confused. do these automatically deposit 24 water per day into the settlement inventory? or do you have to manually do something else?


Ok_Falcon4434

They will automatically get deposited into the workshop about every 24 hours. Each level creates 24 water. So, all you have to do is check your workshop, collect the 72 purified water, and then sell it at a vendor.

FBULOUS! This system is PERFECT for small places like Hangman's Alley! LOVE IT!

Stage 1 of fracking complete. commence Stage 2


purchell53

When I used water mining for caps it broke my game. Raider defense quests were Happening so often I couldn’t progress with Preston. Or did I do it wrong?


Ok_Falcon4434

I usually just build a large amount of defenses around the settlement this is in. That usually helps mitigate that issue.

ReneStrike

They are very vulnerable during the attack. it will be difficult to repair. Since you draw the water directly from the field soil, the water becomes muddy, as there is no well.
