Gas pump refuses to pump!


Recommended Posts

UPDATE:  Completely ending the game and restarting it magically made my pump work again.  Thanks AlexRou!

-------------------------------------------------------------

Okay, so I'm beyond frustrated at this point.  I've spent hours trying to configure my gas pump to feed hydrogen to my hydrogen generator.  But for some reason, my gas pump will not pump and I see no problem with it.  Someone please help?

When mousing over the pump does it say anything? Also sometimes things don't work until you reload the save.

Oh my gosh, I restarted the game and it's working now.  Thank you for the suggestion!  That's usually one of the first things I try, but the game has been working pretty well up until now.  You're a life saver.

I had this problem happen to me too. I set up a Gas Pump with Air Filter in that same position involving an Electrolyzer. It was working, but I decided to move the Pump to see if I could get a better transfer of gas in a confined room they were in. I discovered that the smaller the space everything was in gave better output, so I put the Gas Pump back where I had it and the Air Filter stopped working. I removed and replaced all the ducts and Air Filter like I had it to see if it would fix the problem and it didn't.

There looks to be a random bug with the Air Filter. The only way I can see I activated it was the I didn't remove the Pump and duct work before placing the Pump back where it was.

The same happened to me, the culprit was the hydrogen generator. Instead of connecting the yellow output to the generator and selecting hydrogen in the filter, I did the opposite, yellow output to vents filtering oxygen, and the white one (all other gases) to the generator, the moment a small packet of carbon dioxide reached the generator the whole system halted. Destroying the pipes and correcting the setup didn't solve the problem, destroying and constructing again the filter neither solved it. But once I've reconstructed the generator all started to work again.

Long story short: Feed the generators only hydrogen.
