Can not see my pump working !!

Post by MaxShootingstar »

It was working really fine before, then suddenly I was out of plastic.
Upon checking I found that I am out of gas (petroleum gas).
My wagon was full with gas, but (here is the original problem ) I can not take it out from the wagon.
yes, checked that it is not on curve.
and station is not compulsory to unload the gas, because I started having the this issues after the automation.
I have started making Advanced circuit (red chips, not potato chilly chips :lol: ) and I am stuck in middle of the production

Any suggestion would be good. I am open to all ears.

System Spec : i7, 8Gb RAM, Nvidia GTX 1070 , Windows 10 ,totally updated driver and enough space for installed dir

Let me know what I missed.

As I said, you need to line it up correctly. Build a station and let it drive automatically to see the correct position.

Its works actually. So it bcos of automation

Not exactly - pumps simply require incredible precision to line up with the train (it must be in one of the 12 spots perfectly lined up with the train, not in between them, I don't know why), which is nearly impossible to achieve in manual mode.
There are 10 types of people: those who get this joke and those who don't.

It is not that hard if you wiggle it for a while, and i Think they increased the range for "perfection" in some recent update(dont remember what one).
