I install all available Bob's Mods about a week ago and have been playing the game ever since. It's very good, by the way. I will say it's tougher than the regular game and a lot more involved to produce all the ingredients needed for each item. I also like how the baddies are a little harder than the regular game. There are a couple small bugs but up to now, there weren't any show stoppers. But I'm having one issue....
I can't mine Lithia water. First, I assume I haven't developed the technology to pump it from the ground but I've looked endlessly through the technology tree and don't see anything about water pump jacks, so I assume you just use a regular pump jack? But when I try to place a regular pump jack on the Lithia water spots they won't let you build there, they can only be built on oil spots.
I've been reading through the forums and haven't found my exact issue. Some suggest using water pump jacks. As I mentioned, I don't seem to have the ability to develop them. I saw a Mod for water pump jacks which i installed and enabled. However they just pump regular water, despite being placed right on the Lithia water spots on the map. I've tried several different places but no luck.
Thanks,
A

Re: Can't mine Lithia water
If you have bob mining installed, there should be a water mining drill. Oil pumpjacks should also be able to be placed on top of the lithia water mining spots.
Though, if you're having this specific issue.... did you start the game with all the mods installed, or even load a base game save with all the mods installed, or did you install them in batches? The mods change how they work depending on what else is available when they were installed, if they're not installed all at once, one could adapt to the lack of another, but when you install the other... it's already been adapted, which can cause issues with the way the mod works... this could result in the specified issue.

Re: Can't mine Lithia water
You were right, I didn't have the Bob's mines installed. I thought I did but I was wrong. Thanks for your help!
