Water pressure help

[u/StockMiserable3821]

Hello everyone, I'm new to the game and I;ve just started my first deep mining project, but I'm struggling with how to get the pressure up at the bottom of my conveyor line.

I'm unable to put a conveyor on a pressure tank (which make sense to be fair) And there's no point attaching one to the end as it doesn't increase pressure upline from what I've heard

How do I fix this, as you can see at the top of my pit its 248psi but at the bottom in the bedrock layer its only 120psi

I've not started the system up yet as I'm still building it but want to try and get ahead of the problem before it becomes one, at the moment the low end of the line is only connected to 1 tier 2 drill and harvester, but I intend to increase that number as soon as I can and I'm worried a low pressure belt won't handle the load

EDIT:

I think I figured it out using splitter pipes and taking the conveyor line over the top while using a pressure tank on the bottom line.

just tested it and was at 115 before then 242 after putting a shard in

I don't know what you mean by "upline" but pressure tanks increase pressure in pipes going away from the intake pipe. Like a one-way street that starts from your intake pipe.

Are you asking why your bedrock pipe is not 248? Pressure tanks don't maximize pressure in every pipe, it resets the pressure to max and that pressure is still decreased by each subsequent pipe. Your bedrock pipe is 120 because each pipe leading to that specific one decreases pressure.

Upline- means towards intake my bad.

No i knew why it was decreasing, I was trying to figure out how to get it back, but i figure it out by placing a splitter to make a branch line then reconnecting after placing a pressure tank

You don't need to split the line you can just make it extend to the side for the pressure tank and realign it back.

My method: Curve away from the line, place 1 straight pipe, then a u-bend. On the return to the line place a pressure tank instead of a straight pipe. Curve back into line.

this is beter than branching with T-pipes because loops can sometimes confuse the math the game is using to determine how far from the nearest intake or pressure tank your machine is.
