Port Refueling?

[Capt Cliff]

Occasionally I can not refuel my TF's from the port using the refuel from port button in the TF screen. Is this because it's operational points were used up during the before turn maintenance phase, if there is one. I have to disband the TF and then refuel the ships from inside the port screen. Or is this because the script isn't firing or isn't loading? I can refuel some TF's but others I can't!

TFs usually have to dock to refuel. There is limited docking capacity based on port size. Some TFs are too big and some individual ships can be too big dependent on the port size. Some times all that is necessary is to undock the first TF you refueled to make room for the second TF to dock. Sometimes it's because the port reached it's capacity to dispense for the turn (ie...used all it's operations points) and sometimes it's because the TF has used too many Ops points to have enough left to refuel that turn. many, many variables.

The TF's are docked and when I hit the refuel from port button on the TF screen nothing happens! No operation points have been expended from the port ... it's a go figure moment ... I can refuel at sea, while at the port then disband the TF that did the refueling and refuel those ships from the harbor screen.

Be sure to check the "do not refuel" status of the TF. If it is set to "do not refuel" because, e.g., you did not want it to refuel an earlier port stop, it will retain that setting when it returns to its home port.

Yes, the TF's are set to full fuel ... and there is fuel in port ... it's like the script isn't firing ...

IIRC there are no port refuel points shown anywhere, and sea refueling generally use fuel from other ships. Are you sure, that while disbanded those ships do not take fuel from other ships? Maybe your port is 100% damaged?

No ... I am in the Japanese home island ports so no 100% damage. An refueling from port causes ports fuel level to drop while doing a refuel at sea in a port hex does not cause port levels to drop.

I am Seeing this also. Happens Most of the time. Alresdy disbanded and refueled so I dont have a good save. running 8/25 patch.
Cheers

Ps: just noticed that this forum page is not offering me the up-load option for a save.

[btd64]

Also, as nothing to do with damaged port. I have notice this at PH, SanDiego and others with n damage.
Cheers

EDIT: I am playing as allies

Here you go. But I think it maybe my program, I do NOT want to re-install the game, and a save game won't show it but here you go. Now it's a hit or miss thing, some ports have a problem and some don't, and it's not always the same port. It happens to Allied ports as well.

Apart from looking at every port, can you give me a few ports and TFs to look at in this save?

Try checking the Japanese home island ports. It does appear to happen randomly. One turn I have trouble with Tokyo the next not ... Singapore and the oil ports out in the East Indies. For the Allies again it's random ... one turn it works the next it doesn't. Sorry I can't give you more ...

Oh, while your at it check out why Ominato has so much fuel, more than Tokyo. I assigned TF's to Nagoya and Yokahama in hopes of getting fuel to those ports but to no avail. I assume no fuel the HI does not produce.

michaelm, Here is a save for the allies. scenario 2, latest (sept 9) beta patch. also used beta senareo update. See TF 223 at Pearl. when you hit the replenish in port button, it will not top off the tank.[&:]
