Mega Oil Pump Mod

Good Evening Everyone. I am currently using the Mega Oil Pump Mod. I'm not too sure if anyone else is having this issue or not. So I have the Mega Oil Extractor on a Normal Node. Currently pumping 2,730M3 per Minute. So if I then use the M2 pipes at 600M3 it would be 4.55 pipes. so i have the 5 pipes connected to the machine. What seems to be happening is it pulls so much so quick that the pipes don't have a chance to keep up. it fills to the 50M3 fill in milliseconds and then turns off. When that happens the pipes pull that 50M3 almost instantly. with this back and forth though the pipes only have 200-300M3 of oil at any given time. I really hope that made sense. If not ill try to explain better. If anyone maybe has a fix to this or something. that would be great. @Almine

One thing that you COULD do is manifold out the 5 pipes with the t-junctions and link them all together so you can have contiguous output

Check out the FICSIT Plumbing Manual linked below, which can also be found on the Satisfactory Wiki, for some tips on how to work with pipelines. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MdZ8Xr8P_SF_FL7B6WDjCZGS-x9Cwt-x/view

Lot of wisdom in that document about the peculiarities of fluids in Satisfactory, and some setups for dealing with high-flow situations.

Also this oil extractor doesn’t know who is connected. It just fill up the storage then just send fluid in randomly (or at least sending fluids with manner of game logic) If you want full pipe, use 4 Mk2 pipe (600*4=2400) 1 Mk1 pipe (300*1=300) Set output to 2700.01/m3 it should flow as intended.
