So, I started my very first play through a little over 150 hours ago. I’ve gotten to phase four, and I’ve wanted to upgrade my plastic and rubber production for a while. I’ve found that piping just eludes me. I decided I’d start with just one 600 oil pipe in a manifold system feeding 20 plastic refineries. Math isn’t hard, 600/30 =20, but no matter what I do I can’t for the life of me get all the machines running smoothly. I’ve seen videos and watched tutorials of piping, and I know about the sloshing mechanic. I’ve waited for the machines to back up, installed valves for direction flow control, and I’ve got buffers at the start of my manifolds. And yet it seems I’ve got 2 or three machines at the end of the manifold that refuse to get enough oil. Any tips?
