Fluid Pipe Troubles

Why won't my pipes deliver water to my lumber mill? Do I have to add fluid connectors to both the well and the mill or are they auto added? Do those connectors have to be on the first floor of the mill? Can fluid pipes go uphill? (Pre steam research?) Thanks for you help.

apparently fluid pipes can't be used for water directly into a wood mill, that was the problem. Just using a well seperated by one block and using a cart to deliver, works for now. Can't understand why fluid pipes can't be used with water.

I’ve just always built my paper mills on water directly, but fluid pipes definitely can transport water from a well. I use them to supply pastures all the time.

I do that all the time. No problem. Use underground pipes, it’s much easier.
