I'm currently playing on an Australian community server unmodded. and my pumpjack which was placed yesterday has stopped pumping crude oil. Is this bugged? or is it something else?
u need to put low grade fuel in it.
Yes I've done this. It uses the fuel but doesn't get any crude. Strange.
yeah starnge. u tried to "restart" it? i would try (on running pump-jack) remove fuel. when it stops try to put fuel again and turn it on.
u wrote it stopped pumping oil, i assume it did before?
maybe server restart can help...
never heard of this kind of problem.
I'm not sure if it dries out or something but, the same thing happened to me in the last wipe.
Even with multiple server restarts that went on in the last wipe due to some reason or the other, it never pumped oil again.
I ended up placing new ones.
So, your jack just got rekt. Place a new one ASAP, don't waste time thinking this one will work :)

The server you're playing on has probably been "re-salted"...
[I][B]Salted Resources
Since mining was added, people have been cheating the system by setting up a test server with the same seed as their main server and using admin mode to look for the best resource nodes to mine. Some of the Rust community maps have even started to map out the resource distributions to make the whole thing accessible to people who don’t have access to a test server. This is now finally fixed.
Server owners can specify a server salt in addition to the server seed, which is unknown to people who connect to the server and is used to scramble the locations of mining resources. By default the salt, similar to the seed, is calculated from a unique hardware ID, but I recommend setting it via the startup parameters (server.salt) and changing it regularly, for example with every wipe.

There is a bug that everybody in this thread dont seem to know about.
[B]YES, PUMP JACK OR QUARRIES CAN RUN DRY[/B], and i believe [B]its a bug[/B] and not intended. Hear me out.
pump jack and quarry calculate their ressource output based on the server.salt and on the quarry x/y/z coordinates.
Sometime, you place a pump and its right on the edge of a ressourceful spot. When you use it, it will give oil.
let say the x/y coordinate is 33.99 / 50. Then next day when the [B]server restart[/B], it recalculate the pumpjack ressource output, but due to rounding or i dont really know why, it will use coordinate 40/50, which have no oil. Then the quarry or pump gives no ressource, or different ressource than previously.
It may be due to this bug, or maybe simply the server admin changed the server.salt value.
But for sure i saw this bug, quarry running dry, happening since when quarry were first introduced.
I saw this bug happening long before the server.salt variable was introduced.
