Trucks Failing to Refuel at Fuel Stations

If the option,
"Disable logistics for newly placed buildings & machines"
in the Vehicles Management window is enabled then trucks will not refuel at newly placed stations.

Reproduction:
Remove all stations, and let trucks run down.
Add new stations after enabling option in vehicles management.
Trucks will not refuel.
Disable option
Remove and replace stations and trucks will refuel.

Theory as to cause: Stations use same code for liquid storage that fluid storage buildings do. So they have the same option for trucks being able to export things. But because the Station window doesn't have that option, you can't see the option being disabled when the Vehicles Management option is ticked.

I have this problem as well

BTW thank you for this temp work around, i was going BONKERS wondering why everything was going to a single fuel station far far away and passing 4 others on the way

I can confirm. This urgently needs to be fixed. My trucks were only busy refueling because they were driving all over the map.

yeah it was causing a slow death spiral for me, Eribeth and this post saved me lol

I can confirm this issue.

Built hydrogen fuel station with setting enabled - no vehicles would refuel.

Tried rebuilding with a **copied **fuel station AFTER I disabled setting - no vehicles would refuel.

Tried rebiuild with a "fresh from the menu" fuel station AFTER I disabled setting - vehicles would refuel.

Seems this is the issue I've been having with my trucks, thanks for finding a fix!

my trucks are driving over the whole map to get refuelled even the refueling station is around the corner 😄

This explains a lot. In likely having that as. I have be tons of fuel and I keep seeing vehicles use across the map a different storage (that I forgot to turn off export) to refuel.

Apply the edict that disbands the trucker's union and fires the union boss.

The bug seems to have been fixed in 0.7.2.

I'm still encountering this bug 0.7.2 (b432)

Edit, confirmed that I can get the refueling station to work again after disabling "Disable logistics for newly placed buildings & machines" within the vehicle management menu. Renabling this causes the bug to occur again.

try to delete and rebuild the fuel station.

I have noticed some updates require pausing/unpausing or rebuilding after a big is fixed so always try that to be safe.
