Can Vehicles Not Run Out Of Fuel??

Post by cdotcizzle »

My harvester gas gauge hit empty at 14.8 engine hours, I’m now at 17.1 and still haven’t run out of fuel! Fuel setting to default.

Yep it's totally annoyingly, ridiculously stupid, we have 5 or 6 different mods on the modhub that involve refuelling. Tanks, pumps, tanker trailers they're all useless. I'm 25 hours in on my latest save and still haven't had to refuel any of my vehicles😿 it would be awesome to actually be able to enjoy the refuelling aspect of this "simulator."

So everything just keeps running indefinitely with 0 fuel? Seems peculiar. In 17 (at least with Season, anyway) the engine would not start when you were out of fuel.

I've had a harvester and a tractor run both out of fuel. They kept running on empty with a helper and then stopped working as soon as the helper was done. I had to buy a fuel tanker to run out to the field.

Not sure why yours don't run out.

Could you please tell us what setting your fuel is on?

This might be one of save game bugs. Have you tried to consume all fuel in one go? I mean, without save and load in between? Because I found that in some cases, if I save the game when the fuel level is very low, certain amount of fuel is 'recovered' next time I load.

Lol no. I ain’t playing for 15 hours straight or just leaving ps running FS for that long either. I get your point but I ain’t THAT worried about it. Just annoying as I bought a pick up truck and trailer just for gas and appears I’ll never need it... kind of lame considering it’s calling Farming SIMULATOR lol

Do you have the settings for the helpers set to buy? Asin buy fuel / manure / seed etc?

Because then the gauge will only go down if you drive the machine... Not a helper. (then only your bank account will change)

Then there is your problem I think.
Check the Gameplay helper settings

What setting do you play on? I have fuel set on low and I have to refuel every 10 working hours, this is mainly for tractors and combines though. I play on easy btw.

Does low or default consume fuel faster?
