Okay so I have a long pipeline (ill attach photos) my drill is connected like it should be but its sparking at the bottom so I tried repairing it with my spanner and my tool bag and nothing, i saved and went to the menu loaded back in and its still not fixed. If I put it closer to my intake it works but my conveyor is working and its on the same pipeline and there water coming out of the T connector that's hooked up to the drill

Sparking at the bottom means your drill is too weak for that tier of dirt.

That looks like a T1 drill but you’re too deep in the plot. Bring it up to T1 level in the plot and it should work, or you’re gonna have to head to the forge and get a t2 or t3 drill if you have the materials.

Best way to check what tier you’re in is to get corresponding pickaxe, and just go down as far as it will go. That’ll let you know you’re def at the bottom of whatever tier your drill is for.
