Anyone else wasting fuel by missing the jump up to the hose?

[tran_fors]

I've wasted fuel several times now, by accidentally missing the ladder up to the hose. It's really annoying me. :P

Anyone else with the same gripe?

[EvilNecroid]

hasnt happened to me yet.
but i have wasted fuel by accidentally hitting the button that loads a new item in while it was already full :p

[tran_fors]

Yeah, that's what I meant :P Fuel tank's almost full, I jump at the ladder up to the hose - I miss it, and trigger the button to load more fuel instead.

I hate trying to cool down the engine, and miss the jump across. So I end up dumping a hosefull of water into the boiler, insta-cooling it.

Same. Eventually got used to the layout, but it's not ideal.
I also kept falling down when coming back inside from the left.
Also a lot of wasted fuel whenever you need to stop.. I wonder if you could hose the fire down (edit: apparently you can).

[joridiculous]

wait you can stop the engine with the hose?
really wish it had a STOP button.

[CryptoCrash]

yes, that button is way to easy to hit by accident. the jumps on and off the ladder feel just a little too big to make easily

Devs: I've been pondering this a lil' - could you maybe make a "guardrail/guard bar/whatever" between the "load fuel" button and the ladder? That oughta help with this, at least somewhat.

+1 for this!

Ive done it a few times for sure

Wait, is there another way to stop burning fuel other than to use the hose?

Stop pumping the bellows, and the fire cools itself off on its own. But while it does so, the fuel is slowly consumed, so we use the hose to douse it faster.

Hitting the ladders inside and on the mast is an overall pain in the...

[Nyota Mwuaji]

same XD
luckily i didnt need it

Never hit the button by jumping to the ladder. I have hit it a few times jumping over the hole to the bottom deck. I really wish they'd stick a button-operated door there, like what we have for the moonpool. Would solve the issue of falling into all the way down into the hole and reduce some instances of accidentally loading more fuel into the engine.
