Whenever I play, I am only able to make money off of transporting passengers, and no cargo is ever seen being transported. I am new to this game and Don’t really understand how the system works. Also, I am using the Cargo Mod.

for an industry to start production it needs a supply of raw materials and transport to a city.

If you only link Oil to an Oil refinery and there is no transport to get the “goods” to a city then it won’t do anything.

The “demand” for goods from the factory directly increases it’s production. The raw materials will then increase their production to meet the factory’s requirements.

Hopefully that makes sense. You should also check out the Guide that was posted here, it has a lot of good information.

have a read through the guide I posted too, it will explain a lot that you need to know.

Also, ever since I got the game, with or without cargo mod, I never see anything being transported.

It is based on many things, access to raw materials, demand from a city and transport time.

It will only produce if there is a demand for it from a city.

The order is the opposite of the way people think… A Factory will only start to produce if it has a decent link to a City to give it’s goods. A “mine” (ie, oil) will only give the raw material if the factory it has a decent link to is producing.

Most people would think the other way, you deliver goods to a factory that it blindly turns into goods and then you pass it on to a city.

Today I set up a train station by a logging camp, connected that to a train station as a sawmill, which was connected to a city.

I set up 1 train to transport wood to the sawmill and 1 to transport goods to the city.

It sat there for 5 years, and not once was anything delivered to the station, and the logging camp was listed as not being connected to a line.

I then tried replacing the train station with a truck station, and all of a suddenly production went up to max, the logging camp was listed ans connected to a line now and wood was being delivered.

When I tried to replace the truck station with a train station production was still maxed, but nothing was being delivered, and the logging camp was again listed as not connected.

I have tried this several times in several games with various industries, yet no matter what I do, its as if train stations are not acceptable as pickup points, only truck stations.

I dont want to use trucks, I want to use trains, so why cant I use trains?

Why am I forced to use something I dont want to use?
