Help with Car Dealership Pak 128

November 13, 2009, 02:10:44 pm

I cannot get the Car Dealership to accept any cars from the Auto factory no matter what I do in Pak 128. The Car ****embly plant is receiving all the correct raw materials (steel and plastic) from the correct contracted resources, I have both a train and a truck established to transport cars to the dealership but still no new cars are moving to the Dealership from the car factory. I have a gas station fully stocked with gas so there is fuel for cars. I have both a bus and trains stopping at a station established at the car dealer so customers can easily get to the dealership. I have upgraded many roads so that cars can easily travel. I cannot think of anything that I have missed. The year is 1974. Can anyone think of some reason why there is no demand for cars? Thank you.

Yes, I can, several of them. Too much to give them all...

- Are your stations at the Car ****embly plant and the Car Dealership enabled for goods? They should be so. If not put a warehouse near them.
- Do the ****embly plant and the dealership have a contract, e.g. do they deliver goods to each other?
- Is the train or the truck out of the depot?
- Are the stations near enough to the factories
... and some other more complicated reasons.

If everything is ok, please provide some screenshots or your savegame.

By the way, there is no need to transport p****engers or oil to the Car Dealership in order to sell cars. Only cars from the Car ****embly plant.

Thanks very much for your response however I have solved the problem. I'm embarr****ed to report that the car factory was not getting any plastic material from a refinery (even though I had transportation well setup). I kept thinking that there was no demand for cars when in fact I was not properly supplying the car factory. Turns out that I had picked the wrong type of ship to transport oil from an oil rig to the refinery (two very similar looking ships to choose from - I must of accidentally picked the wrong one). I am new to ST but am quickly becoming a fanatic - I just love this game.
