Big Diesel vs Electric Pump

[Storm]

Hi,

I want to get a big water pump, I'd naturally want to go for the electric so I don't have to keep refilling it but I've read in a few places it's parts die fast.

Which do you prefer and why please?

Thanks!

It's sounds like it lasts 24 hours between fixes. It's got to be bugged.

[Storm]

What do you use or aren't you yet on it?

It's like the coil damage percentage a day has the decimal at the wrong place so it takes 10 times the damage, once a day instead of 10 days and once in 3 days instead of 30 days.

Replacing it with a reinforced and having multiple mechanics around will help when using the electric one in cycles to just fill the tank and the mechanic can catch up in between.

[Storm]

wow, ok, so I should definitely go with the cheaper diesel model instead?

[Kamuchi]

Yeah.

When I tried the diesel one, I was expecting it to break a lot aswel, but it didn't.
Really suspect it's just a coild bug on the electric one with the degredation being 10 times off, atleast it feels like that compared to every other component durability in the game .

For the hell of it, I'll buy both pumps, then test it and then file a bug report. Not sure if the company actually knows about it. They did seem to send out a lot of fixes in December so I'm sure they'll fix this too if it's really a bug (but I can't see that it's not based on your description).

Thanks for the info.

So the reinforced coil has the decimal in the correct place?

[Kamuchi]

No, but as it fails in 3 days and not break nonstop, it gives mechanics more time to work on it befor it just breaks in the middle of your work that you get fedup with it and replace the coil, lol

Using the reinforced and 3 mechanics, hasn't broken on me so far *knock on gold*

Dunno about that - but with a reinforced coil installed I've had no electric pump breakdown issues in a very long time. The longer durability of reinforced parts makes it easier for the mechanic to keep on top of them and prevent breakdowns in general. The more reinforced parts you have on your equipment the more effective your mechanic(s) ends up being.

Nice.

Hopefully one day a mechanic will apply at my site.

Diesel all the way. Parts are cheap and the fuel lasts a good long time so refueling it is not that much of a nuisance.

I used the big electric pump for about 10 days and that was enough to never want to see it again.

I used diesel to fill up water tower.

If I'm running tier 4 and under, I would use electric one.

I'm on diesel too, the electric was not worth it even with mechanics. The reinforced coil is the same price as a whole second diesel pump.

I keep my pumps near the fuel crate so refilling them is convenient and instantaneous.
