I like this feature for ocean water pumps. I am pretending I am dumping the water into a large hidden cave.

For the liquid dumping things, usually that machine breaks for me when placing landfill over it. I suppose it is just the pipe parts that can be covered.

I disagree with this issue. What you've done is "dug a well". This is perfectly feasible. Did you know you can burry pipes? Yep. Dig a trench, lay pipe, then cover it with dirt/rock. This is the same concept.

Well in my mind when the water intake has no Connection to water it is impossible to get water. Just try to get water from Dirt/rock. The pipes are transporting water and not collecting it

and this is what i mean with my second Post the dumped liquid would stuck in the Pipes or flowing accross the land

I am good with whatever the Developers decide.
Until then I would say there are two 'work arounds'.

  1. Ignore it for now.
  2. Don't dump near buildings of any type, and be aware of the issues if you do
  3. Move the offending building.
