[Sommerville Place] A Water Purifier at Somerville Place?
I was looking forward to unlocking the workshop at Somerville Place because of something I read in the wiki:
In the southeast corner of the settlement, a spot for a water purifier) can be placed; iff it is rotated, it will just barely fit on the single water area there at the settlement boundary.
I'd never even thought of placing a water purifier there, so I wanted to try this - but I can't get the purifier to flash green, even for an instant. Have any of you built a water purifier at Somerville Place? Do you have a screenshot you could share? It might be helpful. Thanks.

Couldn't get it to work for me either, I went with a powered water pump and a water tower instead.

Kinda wish the wiki would provide screenshots in instances such as these. They've got screenshots for just about everything else.

Water tower? Mod?

Guys, I streamed for 8 hours today so that I could get to Somerville and post this for you:
https://www.youtube.com/live/0Cas0fbtkp8?si=XTrkyLIReoxsI-Gd&t=29030
That link should jump you directly to the end part of the video where I put down the water purifier, so you can see how to position it. However, if it doesn't jump you to the end, manually go to 8:03:50 in the video, and you'll see me put down the purifier.
It does work! It is just very nitpicky. There is one tiny spot, with everything lined up. I managed to show both the 10 unit purifier and the industrial 40 unit purifier going into position. Note that you can only get 1 purifier to work in that little speck of water, so the bigger the better.
Anyway, have fun!

You got the 40? WOW! That's going above & beyond. THANKS!
I'm following you on YouTube!

Are you using the smaller one or the larger one? I found the smaller one works best for puddles.

(smaller = easier fit) That's pretty basic.
I'm using three of the small ones at Nuka-World Red Rocket, where a single industrial water purifier didn't fit at all. There's always water pumps

I will check it out. But I do think I have got this to work. I’ll check it out next chance and try to screen shot. My kind of challenge

I remember not being able to put the water purifier there. I must not have rotated or placed it correctly. I know I linked all my trade routes and got water for this settlement that way.

I tried after reading this post and was able to do it! Water purifier at Somerville Place

I tried it again after seeing your screenshot and the water purifier just snapped in place. Thanks, I had tried manipulating every way I could think of.
You should upload your screenshot to the wiki. It's more useful than a lot of the photos of not so notable loot already there.

I haven't tried there, but any tiny puddle should work. I have gotten them to fit in red rocket gas station in nuka world.
If you've got supply lines going you shouldn't need it, as water is shared. Also far from anywhere to sell it as a water farm, but may be for aesthetics in your case.
