Could you please remove the 20 minute cargo delivery and have it as a option.

I dont understand the reason for this limit.

All it does is restrict the freedom for players do build their transport network when they always have to keep it within this limit.

But as long as you want it as option, not as a forced rule for everyone, I’m ok with it.

I mean, it’s about trying to make your lines as efficient as possible. What fun would it be if agents would wait for hours (real time) to get from point A to B?

It’s not like it is impossible to let a line have only 20 minutes of waiting time, in fact, it’s really easy. Most of the time 1 vehicle is already faster than 20 minutes and just adding another vehicle could do the trick.

You wouldn’t wait 4 hours to get to another city by train either, would you? And 4 hours would probably be a couple of years in-game time…

Whatever this limit is, it doesn’t make sense to me. Why would a plant cut production even though I was well within the 20 minute interval? What’s the point of even having an option to wait for full load if that causes an almost immediate fall in production output? All of this is baffling to say the least and I for one would appreciate if this limit were somehow adjustable.

the industries are also way too sensitive to changes in the frequency. replacing a vehicle because it has become to old can absolutely destroy production for years to come.

What’s the point of the game then?

Its not about wait time as it is about travel time.

When I go to wait for a train I choose when I go to wait for the train and how long I have to wait, if someone else wants to wait longer thats their choice.

But what is realistic about having a time limit for how long good or passengers should be in transit?

You dont see people or goods disappearing from the trains after a fixed amount of time in real life regardless of where the train is, so how can it be realistic to have that happen in a game that is supposed to simulate the real thing?

When I travel by train to somewhere, the time it takes to get there depends on the distance I have to travel, I dont get off the train in the middle of nowhere just because I have not reached my destination within some arbitrary time limit.

This becomes more problematic with the industry and cargo hauling. The maps are randomly generated and in one instance i had some goods required being spawned so far from each other. No matter how many trains i added to the line, the production was still 1 for 100 years lol

So, for a passenger it is 20minutes total time from home to work.

for cargo, I believe it is 20mins from raw material->factory->city

the issue with people disappearing from a moving train, I don’t think it is intentional, but I assume it is related to thos 20minute time limit.
