So I've just decided to pick this game up again after a good 25 years and have gotten to 'Survivors Go Home' mission.I was originally playing the GOG version, but I was encountering far too many bugs for the game to be properly playable.
So I dug out my CD version and have installed that, which runs a lot smoother.
I have build two oil rigs in the dirt area to the North East of the starter base, and was raking in the money to build armies of reapers.
Then though I saved and loaded that save, and I now notice my oil tankers for those two rigs aren't doing their jobs.
It seems I can direct them to the other two rigs I have on the grassy areas, and they work totally fine, and it even seems like they can dump oil at the power stations next to those rigs, but for some reason they won't collect oil from the rigs anymore, despite them having plenty of oil left.
So it doesn't seem to be an issue with the tankers, or with the power stations, but with the rigs themselves. None of my tankers will fill up from them.
How on Earth do I fix this, or prevent it from happening??? I could've sworn the tankers *were* filling prior to the game being reloaded, but perhaps they weren't?
Incredibly frustrating and saddening. I can slowly plod along without that extra income, but it's definitely hurt the progression.
Cheers.
