Some more data points. I pulled the main stations (EastRef & Westref) 4 squares apart and set up 2 refineries. Now both are at 30,000+ goods (still low). The interesting aspect is these refineries are accepting oil from the main stations which are 12 squares away (?!). The north station is receiving the goods. The 2 south stations (docks) are supplying the oil (from 6 rigs). EastRef and WestRef are each fed by 20 rigs at around 600,000 litres/month. I don't know the conversion between litres & goods, but a total of 46 rigs at 600,000 litres (27.6 million litres would seem to be more than the 60,000 goods being produced at 76-80% efficiency.

Update: A day's length is 74 ticks. Every 256 ticks there is 1 callback when factories, refineries etc produce 255 items per tile (ie: 3x5 refinery = 15 tiles).

Example, a 31 day month = 2,294 ticks = 9 callbacks, x 255 items = 2,295 items/tile, x 15 tiles = 34,425 items/month max from a 15 tile refinery.

This is not a bug, it's a limiting characteristic. There was work on a patch which lets you increase the number of ticks per day. I don't know the status or compatibility of these patches with vers. 1.7.2, but I hope this helps others with understanding production outputs.

andythenorth closed the ticket.

Reason for closing: Not a bug

Not a bug. As you discovered, this is the upper limit in the implementation.
