Water Pipes
Bring real plumbing to Knox County.
Project Zomboid lets you hoard water in barrels and pray for rain — but never move it where you actually need it. Water Pipes changes that. Lay a real pipe network through your base and let water (and other liquids) flow exactly where you want it.
- 🧩 Build a pipe network across floors and walls — pipes snap together automatically into straights, corners, junctions and crossings.
- ⬆️ Go vertical. Run pipes up walls to link floors, so rooftop rain collectors can feed the kitchen below.
- 💧 Share your water. Connect barrels and rain collectors so the whole network draws from a single shared supply.
- 🚰 Plumb your sinks. A connected tap pulls straight from your network — no more hauling water bottles back and forth.
- ⛽ Fuel your generator. Pipe petrol to your generator and keep it topped up automatically.
- 🛢️ Pump any liquid. Water, petrol, whatever — your taps serve whatever the network holds. Dirty rain water comes out of the tap purified and ready to drink.
- 🔧 Grab a Pipe Wrench and some Pipes.
- 🏗️ Open the build menu and find the Piping category. Place floor pipes to route your network; use the vertical pipe (rotate it for North/West walls) to climb between floors.
- 🔗 Run a pipe onto the same tile as a barrel, rain collector or sink to hook it into the network.
- 🪛 With the wrench in hand, plumb a sink or connect a generator from its right-click menu.
- 🔍 Lost track of your plumbing? Right-click any pipe → Show pipe network to light it all up: pipes in red, water sources in green, taps and generators in blue.
- ♻️ Changed your mind? Dismantle pipes to recover your materials.
- 👥 Multiplayer ready — build and plumb together on your server.
- 🌍 Bilingual — full English and Spanish support.
- 🧱 Designed for Build 42.

Heads-up: like most Build 42 mods that add buildable objects, removing this mod from an existing save (especially on a multiplayer server) can trigger a "WorldDictionary" load error. It is fixable — just follow this guide: How to fix World Dictionary errors. And as always, back up your save before adding or removing any mod.
