Extend large fuel stations to cover all pumps

Please extend areas of the largest fuel stations to cover all pumps. There isn't a visual indication informing the player which paths work and which don't have diesel fuel or whatever ahead of time. The paths that don't work are in front of loading points in Narwick and Milestone truck stops, and player might expect to go through and fuel right away, and find that he must turn around and enter another path.

Milestone Truck Stop:


Normally fuelling areas are quite generous, and should work here too on the outside.

Narwick Truck Stop (a few innermost pumps don't work):


Bone County drive-through station:

A surefire way to tell where you can refuel is by looking for the yellow dot on the map  however I do agree that it's a bit silly not being able to refuel at all the pumps.

Unless the fuel areas have a preset radius hardcoded into them, I'd also say the big stations' areas need to be changed

yeah, it get me sometimes specially in bone county. always finding the right pump for fuel

Yeah its a very good idea  :like:, either increase the range or just maybe another yellow dot and fuel system on the remaining pumps will do the job.

It can. The only issue I can think of is if the range is too big it'll let you fuel from further outside fuel stations (the areas are either square or circle) and it looks stupid.

Why not just remap the shit fuel stations?

You would remap the whole thing just because you cant refuel at all the pumps? seriously.

If a variable region cannot be defined for fuel stations, then I would suggest moving the marker inward in Narwick like it is in Milestone, where then only the innermost side doesn't allow fuelling. The more distant pumps are the ones to choose if coming in the correct way from the right gate after a U-turn.

Currently we can access fuel from the middle of the road in Narwick Truck Stop. In other fuel stations we at least need to be close to the wall.



I do not have a complete understanding of the technicalities, but mapping of objects shouldn't be needed to adjust the coordinates of a region where something is permitted to happen.

These Truck Stops work with large vehicles well otherwise.

We can't increase the range as the range for smaller pumps will also be increased. Re-mapping them is again a lot of work. I'm not sure but the gas stations have to be added manually through SQL migrations so, removing them and adding them again is some work, I'll check if I can move them directly otherwise we will think of something else.
