I dont know if this is a bug or normal gameplay
I am getting a fluid ingredient shortage on oil, even though I have multiple pumpjacks ties into each other
and my pipe lines are not other extended
The oil refinery keep saying there is a shortage especially if i try to link 2 or more of them together

These pumpjacks are suspiciously tidy and aligned, it doesn't look like natural generation. Did you add the oil wells using a Lua command, or the editor? Perhaps you've set the yield to 1% or so? In any case, hover your mouse over the pumpjack to see its yield in % and crude oil output per second

yes i needed some oil closer but yea the % is low compared to normal oil gen, is there a command to fix that ?

is there a command to fix that ?

I can't come up with a specific Lua command off the top of my head, but since you're already technically cheating, you can just use /editor and tweak it thru the GUI.

/c for y=0,0 do for x=0,0 do game.player.surface.create_entity({name="crude-oil", amount=100000000, position={game.player.position.x+x*1-1, game.player.position.y+y*1-1}}) end end


This will create an inordinate amount of oil 1 unit to the northwest of your character. Enjoy
