increase pumpjack buffer

[ichVII]

TL;DR

Uncap the output of pumpjacks

What ?

Increase the internal buffer in oil pumpjacks in order to make outputs of more then 100/cycle actually work.

Why ?

Outputs above 100/s can be created with vanilla map gen and the player is not informed about the restriction to 100/s in the game. This seems weird and inconsistent.

I agree. Now I using a mod to resolve this.

The buffer was increased to 1000 fluid in 0.18.37.

This is an undocumented change, which is why I am replying to this old post instead of just moving it.

Could this be a configurable property ? I need a way to output at least 1200 to simulate offshore pump. This is a hidden property even for modder

It is a configurable property. All that 0.18.37 did was change the pumpjack's output fluid box base_area from 1 to 10. It can be increased further by mods.

damm I even read this doc but miss it https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/typ ... #base_area. For my defense I was search "buffer" and "fluid" keywords :p. Thanks a lot for the quick answer.
