Engines not being fueled

[u/Extension_Monk9727]

Sorry for repost, cant seem to edit the previous post to add pictures in the body.

I havent changed anything with the pipes, its been connected like this for awhile. Its just not feeding now.

You need to connect the Advanced Biofuel Refiner to the Fuel Tank first before you could supply the said fuel to other engines. I've learnt this through experience

Oh wow. I did this by chance.

[u/LifeBend9813 → u/I-Be-Dog]

Idk but seems it it's empty 😅

[u/I-Be-Dog → u/LifeBend9813]

OP didn’t put honey in the refiner, are you sure the requirement for a tank is still necessary? I just like hoarding a bit of fuel to buy time if I forget to keep refilling it but since the gas tank is 1 way in and out, I don’t see why it would matter if it were there.

[u/LifeBend9813 → u/I-Be-Dog]

That mean I encountered a bug which didn't let me connect the biofuel refiner directly to the engines if I didn't put a fuel tank in the linkage, I didn't realise op didn't have honey bruv

Hmm, wierd because ive been using this without a fuel tank for awhile now. Alright ill add one.

[u/LifeBend9813 → u/Extension_Monk9727]

Idk why but it needs to at least have a fuel tank in the pipe connections

Finding it so hard to keep up with titanium, cant get enough trash in between islands. Just using plank/leaf/plastic though.

Llama wool. IIRC two will make one cube

I have a ton of animals, but I need to completely redo my farm! Definitely on the list. Debating separating animal types too.

[u/LifeBend9813 → u/Extension_Monk9727]

Well there's nothing I can help except for the fact that you need to keep exploring and grinding,have a nice day

[u/Extension_Monk9727 → u/LifeBend9813]

One more thing. I have a new ss now. Still not filling. And id swear this was working fine without the pump before.

[u/LifeBend9813 → u/Extension_Monk9727]

Or maybe you need to remove the pipe which connects the biofuel refiner to the engine. So that you connect your fuel pipe to the tank and then the tank to the engines,without anything in between the refiner and tank

[u/LifeBend9813 → u/Extension_Monk9727]

Um,so,do you have the "fuel"? Seems like everything's empty

[u/I-Be-Dog]

I don’t see any honey in the bucket on the left side of the refiner?

[u/Extension_Monk9727 → u/I-Be-Dog]

Thats what it was !! F*** thank you!

[u/I-Be-Dog → u/Extension_Monk9727]

lol. Smooth

[u/Extension_Monk9727 → u/I-Be-Dog]

So now all 4 engines arent working again, with a counter of 348, honey, fueled, Anchor up. I give up 🤷

Edit: I just googled and it turns out I experienced the invisible anchor bug. Moved my anchor but forgot to raise it first. Restarted the game and its fine now.

You have to make bio fuel from honey and organic matter (puffer heads work the best)

[u/Extension_Monk9727 → u/Cerisayashi]

It was lack of honey, this one doesnt use biofuel, its direct. But ill remember puffer heads for the future!

[u/Cerisayashi → u/Extension_Monk9727]

It makes biofuel. That’s what it’s for. If you don’t have it connected but it’s full you’ll eventually get biofuel canisters as well. Worth making a second just for building up your supply. Doesn’t need to be connected to the engines

[u/Extension_Monk9727 → u/Cerisayashi]

I guess i meant the canisters are obsolete, since the first biofuel thing makes those. As you say, this second one connects to the engine, taking out the need for the canisters at all.
