[0.15.21] - North Sided Pump Not Working

Post by TreefrogGreaken »

1. What did you do?

Placed a pump on the North Side of a trainstop, to off load oil into tankers.

2. What happened?

The Pumps don't connect to the fluid wagon.

3. What did you expect to happen instead? It might be obvious to you, but do it anyway!

For the pumps to connect to the fluid wagon and off load the oil.

Showing no connection from either of the Pumps, doesn't matter if its on either side. Yes I know I shouldn't have 2 to one input/output on the fluid wagon, its just to show neither connect.

Showing that a pump can connect on the South Side of the fluid wagon.

Yes I've aligned the train automatically to the stop, tried rotating the pumps a few times, tried placing pipes before/after, and applying power before/after placing the pumps.

Sorry if this has been mentioned already, did a quick search and couldn't see it.

Thanks for the report. Fluid wagons can only have 1 pump connected to each tank. In the setup you have the bottom tank is pumping in so no other tank can pump in or out.

May have caused you some confusion!

The second image is there to show that a south sided pump can connect in the same position as the North pump. Its just to show that it works on the south side. You can remove the pump form the south side and the north side pumps wont connect at all.

You've also built the pumps too far north :) Move them down by 1 tile and they will connect (once the bottom pump is removed).
