Ore and Coal runs away, why?

[Pelagorn]

Hello,

Without a screenshot no one can understand your situation that good.

This probably means your carriages run too slow. Decrease the frequency by adding more carriages.

Normally, the Ore an Coal waits into the Stops, or?

It calculates if it is faster for the ore to “walk” or use your transport system. In this case it is faster to “walk” 🙂

Edit: It takes into account: Time it has to wait for the transporter to arrive, the time the journey takes and the time it still needs to “walk” when it is unloaded.

It´s a mini game, you have to catch it with your cursor and drag it back to your stop.  😉

Seriously, it means that the goods move faster on their own  than with your connection. Increase your frequency for example,  and/or check if your connection serves a demand at all.

The Ore runs besite my Carriages. However, my carriages passes the ore’s on they way.  but they cants pick up them. my carriages are a little bit faster.

Just like people, cargo has a set destination. Upon creation of that unit of cargo, its destination is determined all the way, including it as a delivered good. You need to convince “the factory” to ship cargo to the destination your line is going to. If  the steel mill you want to ship to has no output, or no set destination for its good, your cargo bay will not be used and by-passed. The entire route from coal+iron mine, via steel mill and goods, till a demanding city has to be available. Only then it will ship. When a city has reached its goods limit, the city will not demand, and good will flow somewhere else.

Probably somewhere in your chain there is an interruption, which sets the demand for coal+iron via your line to zero = no shipment.

At least, this is what I have experienced during my game plays.

Its possible to see anything whts wrong on this pic?

Nothing is wrong. The lines are fine. But you should intensify the frequency to pick stuff up.

Okay, i know, the carriage can be full if she arrives the coalmine. its a little risk. much thx to all. i have understand. i must push my garage xD

[Pelagorn]

ah, one important question i have thas was why i have open this thread. what does the note mine?

In the beginning, just add a couple of trucks. It doesn’t matter if they produce losses in the first few years. The production will increase and then you will get profits. Its like ‘investing’ :).

First, the order seems not optimal to me. You are trying to ship iron ore via the far away coal mine to the steel mill. The iron ore is faster by foot going immediately to the steel mill by itself. So the pickup order should better be 1.Coal, 2.Ore, 3. Goods, 4. City.

Secondly, I would not ship the iron ore. It’s close enough to go by itself to the steel mill. Take care of the coal and goods only. It’s easier to manage.
