Can't step up cargo routes

Hi,

On my 4th game. The last two I can’t seem to set up cargo routes. I get “Unable to find path to stop.” Everything seems ok. I’ve done it before.

It’s 1853 and I’m trying to link up oil well to oil refinery to town (industrial zone) with horse wagons riding the roads already on the map. I have a depot near the oil well plus a cargo bay, and cargo bays near the refinery and in town. I can set up the line ok. The problem occurs when I try to assign wagons to the line.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Make sure you have placed cargo stations and not passanger stations. 🙂

They are definitely cargo stations.

Just guessing, but the message sounds as if the wagons can’t find a way out of the depot, or that there’s an interruption in the street leading to the first stop, somewhere. Maybe check the roads again that there’s a connection?

I notice that if i assign passenger vehicles to the route (though there is no reason to do that, but just wanted to see), there’s no problem. They leave the depot and start riding. Is this a bug maybe. I uninstalled and re-installed, but same thing. Very frustrating.

Could you take a screenshot of the problem, along with your Line window open too please?

Ok. Here it is:

cargo problem 2

At the point in the screenshot I just tried to set the wagons to the route but got the red message (unable to find path), but that didn’t show up on the screenshot.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Yep from the looks of it they are bus stations.

Here is a close up of the first stop next to the depot – it’s not a bus stop. It’s a cargo bay! The same goes for the other 2 stops on the line.

Yeah, this is the error which means that the station is not connected to any road, however, I dont think it was actually needed, so you can just ignore the message I suppose.
