WanderingKid Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Alright, silly question. I had *thought* the Refinery was on the Engineer priority, but it's obviously not and it's being rather ornery in getting it to work. This particular base is having a few power problems, but can someone confirm for me if the Refinery is on the engineer priority? There is something wonky going on with the refinery. I send a dupe there, and they'll start refining. 5-10 seconds later they leave to go do a delivery task. The refinery has the highest sub priority, and the dupe in question is set to highest priority for engineering. I can get them to start the job... but I can't get them to STAY on the job. I have to keep using move orders to keep them on task. Has anyone else been seeing the same thing?

Neotuck Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 The refinery will produce petroleum faster than it can store crude oil This means all the crude oil stored within it will empty causing the task to reset until it fills up again My suggestion is to have someone with the task operate only, when the task is finished the dupe will wait around until the oil fills up again Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/92220-working-the-refinery-ohhh-mr-duuuupe/#findComment-1052126 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure where you're coming up with that concern, but I've never had a refinery act that way. 35 minutes ago, chemie said: Running machines like refinery is operate.

Now I need to do it WITHOUT sandbox.

I'm not sure where you're coming up with that concern, but I've never had a refinery act that way. Needs a dedicated pump.

You will need a pump to manage the NG anyway so put it on atmo sensor and no issue Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/92220-working-the-refinery-ohhh-mr-duuuupe/#findComment-1052135 Share on other sites More sharing options...
