Train will not load/unload fluid

Post by florian_schanda »

Hi,

Generally I do not have trouble with this, but I am encountering some trains that just will not load/unload fluids. I am playing with the pyanodon mods, so that might be part of the issue but I thought I should report anyway.

I've attached my save. The train the character is standing in front shows the issue. If you manually drive the train /sometimes/ it works.

My guess is that somehow the space is not enough and the train is standing a tiny bit on a curve; but similar trains in other places work. And unloading with inserters works.

It would be awesome if it could be fixed somehow. Thanks!

Thanks for the report. Your fluid wagons are on a curve which means pumps can't interact with them. You need to remove the curve before the stop if you want to use pumps.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.

Thanks for the fast response. In that case could I suggest a feature:

Don't show the little yellow outline for the pump destination, if the train cannot be unloaded. That would be quite helpful!
