Object description

The fluid wagon can transport fluids by railway. Fluids can be pumped in and out of the wagon using a pump, each fluid wagon can have a maximum of 3 pumps attached at one time, 1 per tank section. Similar to cargo wagons, a locomotive is required to move the liquid wagon.

The fluid wagon can carry 50,000 units of fluid. It weighs the same of the regular cargo wagon but holds more fluid; a cargo wagon filled with barrels can carry 20,000 units of fluid.

Troubleshooting

To get fluid into the fluid wagon, you need a train station with pumps.

The train needs to be stopped at a station: do this by using a train stop as a train schedule destination, and a fueled locomotive.

Pump transferring fluids to a fluid wagon.

Load and unload times

Using more pumps per wagon reduces (un)loading time. A maximum of 3 pumps can be used for each wagon. Pump quality affects pumping speed.

History

• 2.1.7:
  • Fluid wagon fluid storage volume increases with quality.
  • Pumps can now connect to fluid wagons on both ends.
  • Pumps can now connect to non-aligned wagons and to wagons on curved rails.

• 2.0.7:
  • Capacity increased from 25000 to 50000 to make fluid wagons more compelling compared to the new pipe mechanics.

• 0.16.8:
  • Changed fluid wagon capacity from 75k to 25k (same as storage tank).
  • Lowered fluid wagon weight from 3000 to 1000 (same as cargo wagon).
  • Changed fluid wagon recipe so it requires just 1 storage tank instead of 3.

• 0.16.7:
  • Simplified to contain just 1 fluid instead of having 3 different fluid tanks.

• 0.15.0:
  • Introduced
