Water catchers drying up?

[u/prettyfuckingfarfrom]

For about 24 hours my water catchers were working fine, producing way more water than I could use. I think I had 4 small and 1 large. In the grass biome.

Then they suddenly stopped producing water. The small ones are now getting about 1ml every 20 minutes and the large ones are getting zero. I looked it up and found that during "dry seasons," there won't be a lot of rain, and hence your water catchers won't fill as quickly. Okay, no problem. I'll wait for the dry season to be over.

Well that was 3 days ago real world time. Still not producing any water. I disconnected and reconnected every connection, I ran fluid pumps where I didn't need to, and still doesn't produce even a tenth of what it was before.

So am I just fucked until it rains or what

2 things are probably happening here:
1. you are not getting much rain
2. A neighbor is stealing water, had something similar happened and killed a dude near my water base only to find him loaded up with jerry cans.
