version 0.3.10
- fix the crash if you try to wire a fluid-handler - has now tank-storage behavoir as intended

Why does not fill?

this is not a fluid wagon ... its cement ^^
only the orange, blue (short) and 2 silver (long) - cylindrical wagons can transport fluids.
fluid-wagons have no inventory if you click these.

but orange don't work too

hmm, tested with standard-size long tank and works fine.
i'am not sure if you have the correct position of the tank-wagon to the filler, but looks good at screenshot - BUT this filling method works only if the train is in automatic-drive.
i can't see a train-station on second screen-shot. until the devs make this in vanilla happen, works now code behind. the trigger is the train stop in automatic-mode.
to test your situtation, drive the train back, set a station and let the train arriave with automatic - the filler loose fluid, but it's not shown as icon. set the unload-station the same way and the fluid apears.

Hello Yuoki, I love your mods and this one in particular is rather fun. However I would like to ask a question. I was having alittle trouble with emptying and filling tank cars until I read up on what you said. As cleaver as it was to have the train running on auto and the pumps activate, I would like to ask if it was possible for the pumps to be able to be used manually as well. If it's too much it's ok, though if possible it would be just as neat. :3

Liquid wagon is coming in 0.15 so the liquid wagon handling will be part of the base game. There's really no reason to add additional functionality to allow filling of tanks while under manual control. Is there a compelling reason why you would want that aside from cool factor? It is rather inefficient.

not work!

I'm confused? What are you trying to do?

pour the liquid into the tank.. but does not fill anything!!

There is no visible sign for filling the tank.

Also you need to drive to a station with the fill pump in automatic mode.
Best way is to set up a new tanker line, put down the fill and empty pumps and let it run in auto mode.

example screen please

Well this video is for demonstration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OEO8HFW8II
The action happens at minute 6:00.

You can see that the train is in auto mode and drives between the stations.
Evertime the train arrives at the fill station, the liquid is transfered to the wagons.
Evertime the train arrives at the empty station, the liquid is transfered from the wagons.

Hope it helps.

@Yuoki: Do you plan to change your tank wagons into vanilla tank wagons but with your skins in 0.15?

Greetings steinio
