Can you post a screenshot? It might make it clearer what's happening.

In general there can be 2 kind of problems:

1. You have a wrong industry set that your refinery doesn't produce goods. But it doesn't seem to be the case here (refinery windows shows it would produce goods).

2. You have to pick up the goods with appropriate train wagons. If not, the refinery won't start to produce any goods at all.
This might be the problem here. Check your train wagons if they are usuable for transporting goods (check the train tabs). If in principle "yes", then you might have forgotten to refit them for transporting goods (you can only refit them in a depot). If not, you have to pick up different train wagons.

Do you have anything actually picking up goods from the stations?? In the pic I saw a train with oil but nothing at all shipping goods away from the station. Also as stated above if its a train that is shipping them out... Make sure if you refit it, and if the engine is refittable refit them all at once.. Are you sure you needed the patch.. The screenie said something about OpenTTD which I dont remember it needing the TTDpatch...

Are you referring to glx's post?

It means that the bug is known, and is fixed for the release of 0.4.8RC2 (release candidate 2)

yes, Version 0.4.8-RC1 has this MAJOR error in it. use ANY other version and you don't have this problem.

also, don't take screenshots of OTTD using the HORRIBLE .JPG format. use .PNG instead, it has PNG screenshot feature built in. JPG is meant for photographs. it distorts the image you are saving. yours isn't such a bad example, but when people are looking for help with singnalling and use JPG, it is IMPOSSABLE to help in that situation because combo signals look identicle to exit signals, because it turns them both the same colour.
JPG SUX!!! USE PNG!!!
There are times when JPG is useful, TTD screenshots is not one of them. Please use PNG instead.

MiniIN, should be a forum in the general section with a link to the download. on the http://www.OpenTTD.org site there is also a link to "Nightlies" which are nightly compilations of the development version. these are not guaranteed to work, however they usually do. this is what i used to use before YAPF, no partcular reason why i don't use it, i just don't get time to play anymore. also i hear yapf introduced a few bugs, but its still better than 0.4.8-RC1

ot you could just download 0.4.7
