Barrel Routing After Patch 1.0.1
Barrels now keep a specific Derrick assignment rather than interacting with other Derricks they pass. If a barrel appears to head toward the wrong rig, first confirm you are running 1.0.1, then follow that single barrel from its assigned rig to its destination. The patch fixes cross-rig interaction; it does not publish a new sales price or transport speed.
The field decision
Barrels now keep a specific Derrick assignment rather than interacting with other Derricks they pass. If a barrel appears to head toward the wrong rig, first confirm you are running 1.0.1, then follow that single barrel from its assigned rig to its destination. The patch fixes cross-rig interaction; it does not publish a new sales price or transport speed.
Official current-build and patch facts are cited below. Suggested checks are editorial guidance; historical demo sources retain their original dates.
Quick facts
- Assignment belongs to a specific Derrick.
- Passing another rig should no longer cause cross-rig interaction.
- The change concerns routing, not the number of barrels an achievement needs.
- There is no published distance, travel-time or throughput coefficient.
What to record if it still happens
For barrel routing after patch 1.0.1, keep the observation narrow: the installed version, affected object, state before the action and result afterward. A screenshot can establish a displayed requirement; a short clip is better for a routing or timing problem. Separate what you saw from what you think caused it. The checks above organize a report and do not claim to repair a save.
Walkthrough
- 01
Confirm the starting point
Check the installed version before comparing an old routing clip.
- 02
Check the relevant condition
Follow one barrel and identify the originating Derrick; do not infer ownership solely from the nearest machine.
- 03
Make the comparison
If it ignores a neighboring Derrick, compare that behavior with the new assignment rule before calling it stuck.
- 04
Verify the outcome
If assignment still appears wrong, record origin, destination and build and attach a short clip to the official discussion.
Read the system before acting
| Situation | Meaning | Next action |
|---|---|---|
| Wrong rig | Cross-rig interaction corrected | Retest one assigned barrel |
| Older build | Patch behavior may be absent | Update before reproducing |
| Current build, same symptom | A recurrence needs new evidence | Record version and a focused clip |
| Unknown numerical value | The announcement gives no coefficient | Use measured inputs, not guessed constants |
Common mistakes
- Treating a dated source or individual report as a guarantee for every installation.
- Making a purchase or irreversible save change from a claim the cited source does not establish.
