[Posila] can't pump fluid out

DallasLova · Post by **DallasLova** » Sat May 06, 2017 5:07 pm

Hi,

It seems that I can't pump the fluid out of my fluid wagon (see attached picture).
I can't see what i'm doing wrong since it was working in my other game.. and that I can pump the fluid IN.

Thanks

Thanks for the report,

Can you provide the save game of this broken behavior?

just to confirm, did you have the train run on automated to the station? it's hard to get the pumps to align correctly if wagon is driven/placed manually.

Here!

thanks for the quick answer

Yes, I tried with automated.
didn't work.

I went back, put the pump on the other side of the track, went in again with automated. Same problem with pump on the other side of the track.

Although this might not be your issue,
If you place more than one pump so that they can connect themselves to one tank (either putting them side by side or by putting them on opposite sides) then one will be marked as "connectable" and the other(s) simply won't be used. If you then remove the active pump (that would have connected to your tanker, or is connected to your tanker), then the other pumps still won't connect.

If you put the train in before connecting the pumps to power or connecting the pumps to the import/export pipes, and removed adjacent/opposite pumps then you will get results similar to this. As your lower pump is in the "I want to connect" state, this would be your issue.

Move the train completely out of the way or pick up and drop your pumps again and you will get them to connect correctly.

i have seen this bug as well

1st corected its self after moving the train out of the station and resending

2nd had 3 pump next to each other on a imput and 1 of the 3 pumps would not pump in to the train where 2 pumps pulled from a tank directly and the 3rd pump from between the tanks conected with a single pipe to the tank pumps were directly toutching

stations i had was horizontal opposed to virticle in the OP's post

The car in question is sitting on the curved rail, so the pump will not connect to it properly; even though it looks like it is straight, it is at a tiny angle.

Yes. So not a bug.

I have similar problem but the solution is meeting all the criteria and still not working for me

Why is there no station? The train should line up properly for the pumps to work if there was a station.

When I load your save and actually set up a schedule for the train it works fine, if you still think there is something wrong, then make a new report, posting in a Not a bug report makes no sense.
