Title: Cargo not given!
Post by: PlayTrans2009 on August 28, 2009, 10:38:34 am
Well, I place one of the train in underground. (IT IS COMPLETELY FILLED ABOVE GROUND!) Then, I buy a train to do the job. But then, it doesn't receive cargo! What happen?  >:(

PS: If you need a bigger picture, tell me.

EDIT: Sorry for lacking information. IN the picture, the red circle represents the stations, blue circle represents the train and the aqua colour lines are the route of the train.

Man!

Did you build stations underground?

Only one.

You need to build stations at both ends - and make sure that the train length is not longer than the platforms. If the cargo truck is not shown in a platform, then build an extra platform at both ends.

Okay, I will try that. (I am not playing right now.)

It is not working! >:(

BTW, the underground CARGO station has a warehouse aboveground.

back on-topic:

Enabling of goods is needed on both ends, and the warehouse does that, but:
In this situation, the underground platforms have to be built as part of the respective existing stations (only one station label must show up at either end), otherwise Simutrans may choose only one station for delivery.

And please observe what Maragil has written.

So, I am wrong in the picture on my first post. So, how can I change?

I placed the cargo station longer but it still cannot get cargo. Oh well... I deleted already.

I can't see an underground platform at "Brentton Coal Power Station Cargo T...". It needs to be built on a tile that the existing station (above ground) covers, or a directly neighbouring tile.

whoami, it is "Brentton Coal Power Station Cargo-Train Station". It is just one of the stations name...

And, I already deleted the stations... I hope I will make it again.

Please realize that when you ask for help, you are asking people to spend their time looking at your problem. If you turn right around and give up immediately, everyone who spends time looking at your problem has now completely wasted their time on you, with no benefit to anyone.

This topic is locked so nobody else wastes their time on it.
