The Powder Toy

A working siphon

    Hi guys.

    I hope this is the right thread (and I don't get flamed) for my first post.

    I have tried to implement a siphon (I have uploaded one, "siphon" is the name), but I can't make it work.
    Maybe the easy answer for this is "this is a powder mechanics simulator, not fluid mechanics", but if I am missing something that would make it work please let me know.
    Thanks a lot.

    Mockba the Borg.

    Can you please embed the save? That would help.

    EDIT: nvm I guess I should have mentioned that fluid physics aren't that accurate. Liquids in separate chambers(my best wording) won't be at the same level. Of course you can get the desired effect with pressure by sealing off one end and adding WHOL, or by putting FAN at one end.

    Sorry Crispy, I (still) don't know how to embed a save ... :) ... but I guess you answered my question.

    1) Go to browse
    2) Search and find the save
    3) In the url you will find the ID
    4) In the post put ~[ID] without brackets where you want the link to be.

    Use Pipe. Realistic siphon isn't possible without abusing the mechanics of weight in TPT, with how some elements fall below others automatically.

    You could always use pressure?
