[0.18.9] Fluid Train won't line up to pumps was working fine up to 0.18.1

Post by barbary »

Just updated the game from 0.18.1 to 0.18.9. The long Petrol trains will load the first half of the train but not the last half because stops 3 and 4 no longer make the pumps engage. This happens at both Refinery1 and Refinery2. Trains have to stop at 0Refinery1, 0Refinery1_2, 0Refinery1_3 and 0Refinery1_4 to be loaded but at 0Refinery1_3 and 0Refinery1_4 the pumps do not engage.

All this was working fine in 0.18.1 (which has been running since it came out) and well into the past Refinery1 hasn't been changed in over a year and Refinery2 was changed before Xmas but not the train stops.

Accidental alignment of rolling stocks after bends is still accidental and not guaranteed to stay at any particular state. There is no systematic approach to guarantee rolling stocks alignment when part of train is on curved rails and so this use case is unsupported. Change happend in 0.18.7. I already made some other small changes for 0.18.10 that may again change where rolling stocks accidentaly align but there are still no changes that would guarantee alignment.

Fair enough. I just found where you said all this for a freight car not lining up for 0.18.8.
Sorry I didn't find that first but I was searching for pumps and fluid wagons specifically.

Thank you for such a super fast response.
