Title: Refinery stops producing
Post by: blis on March 18, 2009, 06:45:01 PM
Hi there.

I just picked up ST again, v102, and I have a question.

I have a refinery that's supplied by two oil wells, and it worked great for a while, producing plastic, etc.  However, at some point, following happened:
1. Production stopped and oil is now accumulating
2. There are plastics in the refinery, but none of it is making it to the station.

Is this a bug, or is there something else going on?

What about the other factory? It is probably overflowing with plastic, that's the usual cause.

Welcome, blis!

QuoteWhat about the other factory? It is probably overflowing with plastic, that's the usual cause.
Or the car assembly plant isn't producing cars (missing goods?), thus nobody wants plastic right now.

Yeah, that would do it...  I was only looking at the top of the chain, forgetting the demand on the bottom.

I need more steel for that auto-factory pronto.

Thanks for the quick answer!
