[1.1.88] Pumpjacks have “working” status when full

When Pumpjacks have filled their internal fluid buffer, they keep the “Working” status, whereas normal drills go to “Waiting for space in destination”.
This is relevant to me because I’m trying to script some effects on the Cargo Ships oil rig when it is running, but it seems impossible to distinguish between running and output-full.

From the pump logic it’s all the same. Mining drills wait for the output before continuing because they deplete the source. Pump jacks do not and so are always working at full speed. If they can’t store the results it just destroys it and tries again next tick.

But an oil well’s yield decreases as it is pumped… are you saying that it is decreasing even if the output is backed up??? That is very surprising to me, but maybe that’s just how it works…

Hmm, I might have gotten confused between offshore pumps and pump jacks. I’ll get back to you.

Ok, I looked into it more and the issue is now fixed for the next release.
