New Values for Pipes and Water Pumps needed

[katanatan]

Dear Factorio community,
as of right now i am playing with several mods, one is a mod called factorissimo.

To make things short, i have problems getting enough throughput (of water mainly) to my power production factories, right now because of this my hundreds of lasers are undersupplied. (i play on max alien settings).

Is there an easy way to change the maximum throughput of pipe (and underground pipe) and as well storage tanks and the water production of offshore pumps?
Or do you need a "mod" to handle those things?

i think this would not break my safe, ill give it a try, i have no other option, as i would not be able to continue playing this save without a solution.

You need a mod. Throughput values are determined by the definition of the fluid, water in your case, to improve fluid throughput you would need to reduce the friction/flow resistance.
An easier option would be using a mod like WaterWell, which is basically a pumpjack for water you can place anywhere, and pumps up ground water. Bit cheat-y but still works.

You can increase the flow into factorissimo buildings by using the dedicated input/output pipe connections. you can also increase the refresh rate of those items with R to increase flow further. Additionally, you can get more creative with parallel piping sections from your group of offshore pumps to your input pipe connections. Be sure to keep your runs short and use parallel sections over longer runs.

Yes, i looked into that mod, but appearantly the waterwell is just less than 2 offshore pumps in 0.15

I do use the (mass) input and output pipes (purple cross and yellow circle), they are working, they are just not strong enough. I use 2 mass pipes into my tier 2 building which has 8 tier 1 steam engine buildings. To both i have pipes (each) and storage tanks on the side. There is just not enough throughput into the factory (tier 2) especially since the slots are limited.

Try going tank-to-pump then to input pipe, and once in the factory, go output pipe to pump to tank. With few enough ticks between refreshes of the input+output pipe, you should see 12,000/s flow per connection, each of which being good for 1.1GW using steam turbines. Water flow is, of course, the ultimate limiting factor on power generation for factorissimo.

I use pumps like you described directly before and after the input and output mass pipes. I just have the problem, that the mass input pipe needs to much water as that 8 parallel standard pipes would be enough and its effect gets weaker at a distance. Asside from the clear waste of area^^
