[15.2] Pump won't connect to Fluid Wagon

Post by GhostsofWar »

So the issue I am having is my pumps will not connect to my fluid wagons at all. The graphic for the pumps changes, to show what looks like an extendable pipe, but it will not connect to the fluid wagon at all. I have tried multiple combinations of placement, using multiple pumps, single pumps, and still it will not connect to the fluid wagon at all.
Attachments
Three pumps, each one suppose to be connected to a tank on the wagon.

The fluid wagon has to be perfectly aligned - meaning you need a train to drive it into place.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.

Hate to break it to you but there is no way to "perfectly" align your new fluid tanks with the pumps, the pump ends up to either side of center of the tank......Image

Do you have the fluid wagon attached to a locomotive, and stationed at a train stop?
