In game it shows that the mod is obsolete

so, the offshore transfer station only fits ships of 100m or smaller. Kind of completely defeats the point, can't park anything but the smallest vanilla oil ship at it, why bother transferring from one small ship to the other

Is it possible to construct this in realistic mode?

Hi, Where I can find mod files? I subscribe for mod, see it in game, but need to transfer to other device. Thanks

Hi Lex713, it took me a while to get back to trying this mod, just wanted to say thanks for replying back in August and reloading after placing the power buoy fixed the issue. The mod is great!

Hi, Lex, can´t you simply add a big wire connection to the building to have it power? Then it could hold fuel for ships refueling as well.

underground/water cables can be of unlimited length and it might solve some issues people have

I have the issue of the oil rigs requiring roads? is that something that can be ignored. however it also interferes with power supply from the buoys too

@AugCph @FaceofMonkey
There is nothing I can do in terms of fixing mod as this is an old game issue that was fixed a while ago but seems to get back again. However it works after saving and reloading the save any time after you built this buoy. I know it’s not the best solution but again there’s nothing I can do about it.

@AugCph @FaceofMonkey
I see, I will try to investigate this issue.

@ChiefMateDuff
Cheat mode and key combinations in a cheat mode are the direct cause of unusual behavior like this and is intended by game design.

Hi, i've noticed a bug while on my test map, if you have Cheats activated and press simultaenously Z+shift, it's give like a 1000% boost production to the rig.

I have the same issue as AugCph - I can build the oil rigs, (they weren't appearing before), but the buoy doesn't seem to produce power so the oil rig cannot be powered unless it is close enough to use a substation on land.

The big buoys don't create power anymore and the small ones have completely disappeared from saves and from the building list, meaning there's suddenly a lack of power to multiple buildings.

@Alaskan Bull Walrus
No, you cannot. Game limitation. And there is nothing I can do about it, sorry.

@AugCph
Please be more specific

Anyone else having issues with this all of a sudden?

Can I build these with the heli CO?

can i only find the platform in left side workshop buildings? i want this platform in the UI where the other Oil pumps are thats not possible? greetings

I have the same issue as Karl Ruprecht Krönen below; I have downloaded the mod for the first time and can see the obsolete rigs and buoys in the mods list in the game, but the actual rigs are nowhere to be found.

help needed out of the 5 buildings in this mod i get 4 the 2 buoy's and the 2 obsolete rigs i cant find the rig you recommend we use anywhere? its not under the power or manufacturing tabs or in the mod buildings list whats going on am i missing something?

How can I build the offshore oil rig without using auto build?
also I can't transport workers by sea using passengers docks,when I do so the ship unloads the workers at the rig then it is stuck and don't move giving me a question mark

Does it make garbage? That was a problem with one other mod.

ok, forget the question. I restarted and now it loads

It is really nice, but has anyone a fix for the loading of my ship? The platform produces more oil, then what is loaded to the ship.

It’s different. It literally just says “buoy”

Oh, I do have that one, but it's coming from mod ID 2504678522

I just fully unsubscribed and resubscribed, and still no buoy item in the file folder. Am I looking in the wrong place?

@Amarth
This is an issue with free powered buildings, just wait for the next day/nigh cycle change, it usually starts to work. I can't do anything about it.

@aantono
No, it is fine. It named "buoy" and it is in mod.

@Lex713, Can you double check the upload? Looks like the buoy didn't get uploaded to Steam. After update, all I see are Offshore Dock, Offshore Load, OilRig, OilRig2, OilRig3

@Lex713 Thank you! The waste issue is gone (Wasn't really a problem since picking up waste seems realistic - though perhaps you don't want to rely on garbage ship mods? There's a least two that seem to work just fine with the oil rig.) But power seems to remain a problem. The buoy doesn't seem to produce anything. Providing the oil rig with power through normal means (substation) works however.

Made an attempt to fix waste production issue which actually appeared out of blue despite me disabling it.

Added free buoy shaped geenrator to place next to rig if someone has an issues with power usage. I don't have it and can not confirm it as for me it just works. But if it does not works for you, you now have a power source to place next to it

It also does produce waste. Not a problem since there are some nice garbage ship mods though.

"No electricity needed" This is wrong, maybe some patch messed it up? It needs electricity or it simply can't get used. Without electricity, oil is moved onto the tankers manually (with buckets, I guess?). This is why everyone is complaining about loading speed - when you put workers in there it seems as if the rig needs no electricity, but it does or you can't practically use it. You can pump oil from the ground just fine without electricity, but not get the oil off the platform to a tanker in any sensible way.

It does not produce any waste since update @ April 12, 2023

Hi:) Is there any way how to edit building ini fire to disable garbage production? :) In this kind of building where road connection is not possible.

i'v got no clue were to build them i canoot find them in the build menu

"Elessar_warrior 19. zář. 2021 v 23.04
I done some modifications here and it can work 100% with a modded wind power plant providing power that i made to be placeable on water (i just copied the buoy waypoint model). That way you have an independent and reliable power source for production and loading/unloading."

How the hell?:)
It seems that without electricity is loading that slow, that this great mod is not even playable.

Somebody else here in comments said: add $PRODUCTION eletric 18 To building ini.
I did it, but what It does is building is now needing electricty:/ so it does not help.

And 3 observation:) Is that loading speed really ok?
I have smaller tanker with 16300t, about 150 workers, and it is loading soooo slow, that to fully load that ship will take real days, not ingame days, but real 24 hour days:)
That is literally slowest loading in any station in game, why?:)

Maybe is because this:
beerkuma 14. čvc. 18.42
I find the reason of the slow loading
Oil wells do not require electricity, but unloading does.

Rig has a ship length limit? https://i.postimg.cc/CxNFyYjs/screenshot-388.png
This ships is not the largest tanker I suppose, but still not able to dock?:/

In descrition about Oil Rig is not specified what is the max length of the ship. Maybe you forgot to change it? by mistake:/

"I can not remove production of garbage until trash update goes to stable version of game."
So garbare is already in stable version, is there actually a way to "disable" production of garbage through buidling. ini from some buidling?
I wonder, not only for this building :)

So my ships just complain that theyve ran out of fuel when theyre at the oil rig and sit there doing nothing until theyve refuelled but i cant because the building doesn't store fuel. What am i doing wrong

So u can not use the 2 platforms at all now?

Isn't there garbage ship mod already?

I see...

I can not remove production of garbage until trash update goes to stable version of game.

I see it show it will make some waste when in blueprint,do we need a garbage heli for that XD?

@Lex713

Why is the loading of ships so slow, nice model but this makes it not worth having

I don’t know what’s wrong but I’ll take a look.

@Lex713 - I want to add the oil rig (the new one found under Mines) to my current game, but I'm having trouble. I can place it no problem, but I can't assign a helicopter construction office to build it. It gives message there is no path to construction office (or something close to that). Any suggestions?

No idea what was wrong, it was working all the time on my side. Made an attempt to fix it.
