Fluid Wagon connects its Tanks for no reason.

Post by IV  »

Greetings!
I have a train with 3 separate tanks. When it empties the tank with Petroleum completely, it connects all 3 tanks. You can see it in the video below.
It may have something to do with the circuit at that station: i have changed it recently and this is the first time I have this issue.

It just looks like the petroleum was pumped out, so the only thing left was the heavy oil. (Notice the pump stops right as the icons change?) Not a bug, however I do agree the visuals are misleading.

Can you upload the save file?

Here you go. The save file was created in 15.6 but I tested it with this file in 15.9 before reporting the issue.

It's because you haven't actually split the wagons - you have to open the fluid wagon GUI and toggle the tank connections if you don't want them to flow between the tanks. http://imgur.com/a/J4Ert
