Refuel of truck

[AnonymouS]

My trucks ignore the closest refuel station/ Fuel Tank and go far far away for refuel.
I don't know why, but quite often.
Any Idea?

if storgae have set export the truck go all time there first ..the think storage need clear or empty
example if you have 10 fuel station ..but you forget one storage on the other end of the isel ..trucks will drive there ..and the stop and go start

and this have nothing to do with EA ..its only an setting ..
its simple ask ..why alow trucks to go to storages ...
Fuel station cost no elektrik and dont need workes and dont need wartung..i have 70 fuel station on my isel

same is for pipes dont need elektrik and no wartung
so its simple ..short belts long pipes

Actually, I think they also ignore Fuel Station,
I built a very long pipe across my base, and build several Storage + Fuel Station in the middle.
The truck almost go to the source of the pipe (a huge storage) to refuel
I don't think Fuel Station is prioritized

@anonymouS .. i say it us long you alow export at storage trucks go there first

I know this from my game. Currently I have a dozen depots, at each depot is a storage facility to store diesel, so that the ships have enough fuel, even if he supply chain was interrupted.

At the same time I built a gas station everywhere and observed the same thing afterwards. For this reason, I have assigned trucks to all gas stations, and other vehicles are not allowed to refuel here. The only exception is my central gas station, which is directly connected to the main storage for diesel. This makes the other gas stations almost useless, but at least my excavators benefit.

@manfred, I did not turn off export at any fuel storage, The truck just not #ALWAYS# prioritized nearest

@Southside, Yes, afaik, only excavators is fueled by truck assigned in fuel station. Not even the truck assigned to the Mine Tower.

same here - I put the truck at the edge of the fuel station (which should be impossible...) and it still wouldn't refuel. I had this happen before and I finally gave up and scraped the trucks (one pickup & one truck - Dev's you owe me those ! )

I'd expect the trucks assigned to the fuel station to refuel any truck that is stuck

the truck dont go refuel us long he dont have a destination for the compost what are loaded
destroy the kompost or get a destination where the truck can drive to unload it

Thank you for the reply, I've also had others on Discord say the same. this is still not a good behavior as I would expect a truck to be mindful and prioritize refueling even with a load. I submitted it as a bug, but I need to provide a save for it and I'm currently not experiencing the issue

They do. But not when they have no place to put their stuff. If you have too much compost, see if you can't dump it. It turns into dirt.

I think manfred is right, You should fix your logistic first before going to the refueling issue.

I occasionally see some truck run out of fuel in the middle of my compound, eventually it will move by it self so I didn't look into how it refuel.

My concern is about the path finding for refueling didn't prioritize nearest fuel station or fuel tank. #Idk is it fixed in latest patch.
