Factorio pump full#

That many refineries, really? Or, if they all have full inputs, but not enough in the pipes out, does that mean it's not a pump/tank issue, I really need to build loads more?ĮDIT I am SICK TO DEATH, and I mean it, of the RIDICULOUSLY complicated way I recall Steam makes it to display this screenshot in my post with a 'preview'. I've uploaded a screenshot of the processing area, I don't know if it will be of any interest. Or do I just need pumps to move things around? I broke the pipe near to them and inserted first a tank then a pump, and reconnected, Lo & behold, they finally have enough petro coming in!ĭo I have a flow pressure problem? Have I really achieved anything? If that's going to take petro away from elsewhere presumably some other shortage will show up in due course. On a whim, for the first time, I went to by plastic area (several chemical plants). * One storage tank for each product somewhere after refineries have produced, so I can monitor and attach to circuit. No pumps after the arrival tanks, no more pumps anywhere. * The crude train stations have tank->pump->train or train->pump->tank. The only places I have pumps & storage tanks are: While the input water/oil seems always full with no wait, the outputs are weak. I just don't seem to be producing as much output as I'd kind of expect with all those refineries. I have a little circuit system switching between things if over-production on petro/light/heavy.

I have a mix of cracking going on and converting to solid fuel. For example, my Plastic factories just didn't seem to be getting enough petroleum for my needs. They all seem to be full of water & crude, so I don't see a slow down that side, yet I could not seem to produce (much) more output. I seem to have been building more & more refineries (more than any other game, maybe 20 now). In my current, I have two fair sized oil fields producing, one brought in under land and the other by train. I don't think I really understand a thing about using pumps in oil processing. I have been playing Fac for quite some time.
