Just add

$WASTE_PRODUCTION_DISABLE

to the building.ini
geborenumzuleben 16 Sep, 2023 @ 2:14pm 
plz turn off the waste production
Mr_Piciu 16 Jun, 2023 @ 1:24pm 
Could you repair error when well is producing waste. It should not produce any waste like in vanilla pumpjack. Btw great mod
Bête Noire 5 Jun, 2022 @ 4:33pm 
Everything works well, it's great. The author - thank you for the mine =). Can you make a uranium ore purification plant (the creation of uranium oxide), only with increased productivity?

iluso 6 Feb, 2021 @ 2:09pm

BAZ 8 Jul, 2020 @ 4:14pm 
I've only had the bug once tbh

It's a random bug, nothing I can do about it

I can't change the coverage area, it's hard coded sorry. It does produce a bit more than the vanilla ones though
Aqizzar 19 May, 2020 @ 8:54am 
It seems like the collection range is the same as the original pump. Is this intentional or a bug? I thought the intent of a bigger well was to cover more area.
OffTheRailsGaming  [author] 19 May, 2020 @ 3:54am 
It's a random bug. I don't know what causes it
Chi (Nils) 18 May, 2020 @ 8:52pm 
Game crashes when I click on the building to place it!

Mod best reflects a newly drilled well though, which makes perfect sense given the larger production rate. Most certainly it should not have oil shooting out the top, what a waste of resources that would be! As fun as it might be to animate, OTR :) Could be neat to have the final construction phase be the complete tower with an oil animation though - that'd be what happens right before they cap the well to finish it for production.
The Mustachioed Marxist 4 May, 2020 @ 12:58pm 
@Pethy
The tower part of this mod would indeed be the drilling derrick - in the olden days they'd often be left standing for quite a while until installation of a pumpjack makes removal worth it or the developer stops being lazy. Nowadays I believe the derrick tower is much more reusable, so you wouldn't want the capital tied up doing nothing on the oil patch. Since the republic is socialist, idle capital is of no consequence.
The Mustachioed Marxist 4 May, 2020 @ 12:58pm 
A typical oil well is actually just a 4 or 5 foot tall vertical pipe sticking out of the ground with some valves on it and a horizontal pipe leading to a storage tank or processing elsewhere. They are called 'christmas trees' due to a resemblance. Natural pressure in the oil deposit forces the oil to the tank. A pumpjack gets installed after the natural pressure is exhausted, later in the life of the well. If it were possible, this mod actually should consume no electricity at all - there is nothing of consequence to power - it runs on natural forces.

Thanks. I don't normally use them as I don't like the way they shine through other buildings.
dennis 11 Apr, 2020 @ 5:42am 
Jey OTR, thanks for this and your other VERY nice mods. Have you considered to dd some lights to the towers? (it is dark out there)
Pethy 12 Mar, 2020 @ 2:30pm 
Im not an oil industry expert but i think that this is a drilling rig and not a pump :)
Vimes 7 Mar, 2020 @ 2:09pm 
I haven't got a clue why but the next time that I tried to select the oil well it allowed me to build it.....

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2016498364

not sure if it might make the game unstable tho, if it could be, for some reason, not fully stable for some people.
Vimes 7 Mar, 2020 @ 1:36pm 
Thanks, I saw and subbed to that yesterday. Altho I had already built the humongous std refinery by then.
Your smaller one will be most useful for not only its size but also its output and consumption.
There is even a gas station with a direct fuel connection available now, ideal for connecting to your small refinery, via a storage tank and pump.
OffTheRailsGaming  [author] 7 Mar, 2020 @ 1:28pm 
I have a small refinery in my mods if it helps. The vanilla one is far too big lol
Vimes 7 Mar, 2020 @ 1:26pm 
Thanks, I wasn't complaining of your work. Just informing you that sadly I couldn't even select it to build.
IIRC I think that the default oil rig has around 7t per day maximum output With a refinery having a potential for 250t maximum per day, iirc, you would need a lot of the std oil wells to make a difference.

If I knew what was causing it I would fix it. It works fine for most people but crashes for some, sorry about that. I've been through the code and can't see what the problem could be. It may be something to do with the model. I am going to make another at some point
Vimes 7 Mar, 2020 @ 1:04pm 
For me this is an instant CTD if I try and select the icon to build it.
OffTheRailsGaming  [author] 18 Feb, 2020 @ 6:05am 
Thanks Chuck. I really don't understand what the issue is with this particular one. Seems to be a random bug that only affects some people. I will make another version at some point, maybe when I can animate them
Dr. Chuck Munion 18 Feb, 2020 @ 6:02am 
Thank you for making mods/videos. I hope the devs will have a chance to look at why this is causing CTD on mouse over. I just tested on 8.21 Win10/64-bit and still no joy.
pegueno 17 Feb, 2020 @ 1:44am 
not work
OffTheRailsGaming  [author] 2 Feb, 2020 @ 6:19am 
Seems there are still a few people having a problem. There is nothing I can do it about it, it is a bug in the game that is supposed to have been fixed. I don't know why this mod in particular is the problem one but only certain people seem to be having an issue. If it doesn't work then don't use it, there is nothing else I can say or do other than remove the mod entirely causing many people to have problems, which I'm not going to do obviously
Schenzi 2 Feb, 2020 @ 6:13am 
" It has already been fixed for those on the testing branch version 0.8 onwards"

No, crashes on test branch too.
[MET] Iraq Lobster 1 Feb, 2020 @ 11:37am 
I´m on the testing branch and I stil get a CTD when I try to build this
OffTheRailsGaming  [author] 22 Jan, 2020 @ 6:23am 
If you are experiencing game crashes it is a known bug. It has already been fixed for those on the testing branch version 0.8 onwards and will be fixed in the next public update for those currently on 0.7
Domestic Life 21 Jan, 2020 @ 9:03pm 
Crashes the game for me too. Oh well.
Uehen 21 Jan, 2020 @ 12:36pm 
C: There are bugs on my plate.
W: Would you like this plate?
C: There are bugs on that plate too.
W: Even more bugs!
OffTheRailsGaming  [author] 21 Jan, 2020 @ 11:50am 
Hi Harry. There is a bug in the game that has been fixed in 0.8 updates. I suggest leaving them alone until it becomes public (although you may experience the problem with some other mods too) or you can join the test branch, which comes with a caveat, there are more bugs lol
Noho Hank 21 Jan, 2020 @ 11:45am 
Hello there, I just experienced the game crashing when trying to build this one.. Have attempted to build/buy it 3 times, everytime my game crashes...
v0.7.9.18, 64 bit. version..
OffTheRailsGaming  [author] 9 Jan, 2020 @ 3:56am 
Hi Uehen. It was a problem that the dev's have fixed in the last patch. Shouldn't be crashing anymore
Uehen 8 Jan, 2020 @ 6:53pm 
very first time i used the well it crashed the game, and has not crashed it since.
OffTheRailsGaming  [author] 4 Jan, 2020 @ 8:30am 
Thanks John, It seems to be just random crashes. Really don't know why it's happening
John Personage 4 Jan, 2020 @ 7:05am 
My game crashed a few days ago the first time I tried to use this well but I just tried it again and it worked fine.
OffTheRailsGaming  [author] 3 Jan, 2020 @ 7:12am 
If anyone is experiencing a game crash with this, please report it here along with which version you were using at the time.
OffTheRailsGaming  [author] 3 Jan, 2020 @ 6:36am 
It's very strange as it's only happened to a couple of people so far. Seems more like a bug. Which version are you using?
oravec.lubomir93 2 Jan, 2020 @ 4:23pm 
Not work, game crashed
OffTheRailsGaming  [author] 1 Jan, 2020 @ 5:34am 
Thanks David
GrumpyDave73 31 Dec, 2019 @ 6:32pm 
hmmm. i didn't know i could do that stuff. thanks.
and ya, EA's are gonna EA :P
it just gets my goat sometimes. like, real bad. lol
keep up the good work m8. you're helping make this game great.
OffTheRailsGaming  [author] 31 Dec, 2019 @ 1:57pm 
The dev's are actively fixing things but it's a bit broken at the moment. Maybe come back to it in a month or two and see how it's progressed. This is the thing with the test branch, you get bugs. I can't use the cable cars at the moment which is a shame, they cause my game to crash out. It is a bit frustrating but I don't mind too much. I can understand it being annoying for you but I have faith in the dev's too. If you're having problem with the train pathing then try pressing C H and E together to enter cheat mode and the Ctrl and P. This resets the pathing back to the old system which works better
GrumpyDave73 31 Dec, 2019 @ 1:05pm 
rite-on... i'm done with it anyway... trains are too broken to enjoy it anymore...
OffTheRailsGaming  [author] 31 Dec, 2019 @ 10:14am 
There shouldn't be anything causing CTD's. I've checked all the code to make sure nothing is wrong. It seems to be a random error but can you let me know if it happens again please
