Sand quarry inactive?

[Sowel]

So i had a sand quarry working for a while, today when i tried refilling and i get the tool tip about needing to be inside an active quarry zone.. and im 100% sure i am.

I have read tips online about "refuelling" the quarry but Nothing about how.. just clicking "the button" on the map, but i see no button for that anywhere, it doesnt exists no matter what map menu im on. The only hint i have seen is "not on the vehicles screen" but that only rules out one tab, doesn't point me in the right direction.

I did unlock the quarry with a friend in coop and now im in my own world but progress carried over so it should work.

So, you have to get close enough to the quarry to click on it's icon on the map.
when you do, it will say active quarry with a fuel cost... then you active it with the button prompt shown on screen.

actually you have to drive up next to it.... don't remember... only have done it once on Sunken

Thanks but now im more confused.. Just opened to game to try what you said but it was already active again before i had a chance to even look.

Sunken is the 1st map to have this.
You will see a white ring instead of a yellow ring with Sand Quarries radius show on the map.

See the white ring around my Baikal here, that will be around an inactive quarry.
an active quarry is yellow.

Then it seems i had a bug as i was on the second map and restarting my game ended up fixing the issue.

This is false, you can activate a quarry anywhere on the map.

I forgot the MIGHT part my bad, I couldn't remeber
It was supposed to say "you might have to"

No worries, I just wanted to make sure anyone who saw this knew it wasn't the case. There's been a lot of confusion on how to activate quarries.

What's hilarious is that all you have to do is hover over the activate and hold click.

If it WAS working then started giving you the message about not being inside an active quarry zone, it's a bug. Quitting and restarting the game will fix it. I've also heard that it's caused by leaving a truck or crane in crane mode while inside a factory drop off or pickup zone when using legacy crane controls.

I tend to use legacy mode a lot and will often switch to other vehicles without leaving crane mode so that might explain why I've been seeing this bug more often lately.

not on the second map, they require no fuel there, what i had was a bug that required restarting to fix
