Two issues with sand pumps

[BlackwellGaming]

So I was streaming and I noticed that the sand pumps had couple issues. First is when stacked sometimes they do not register being over sand for the lower pumps and second is that i had an issue where the remaining sand for the pump showed more at the pump than the level said there was.

The depth-recognition of the pumps is strange. It is not just terrain related or obstacle related. I tried several things to "limit" the depth without success the pumps seem to get this info from somewhere else.

there is no need to build them stacked - you can just let them dig down and then mole the ground out until it gets to sand again - time taken to make a stacking abomination is way larger and more annoying to conveyor fuel into compared to a once an hour 5 minute dig

It was really easy for me to stack. I found the optimal is 9 high and fueling was not an issue at all. Sure it took a little time to set up belts and such but it was less time than digging out an area.
