Month Wait Time// Fully loading all goods

October 16, 2008, 06:15:50 pm

Hi all.

I'm just now using the latest release with the newest 128pak. I noticed that at the top of the scheduling window that there is a setting called month wait time. What is it?? I have tried all the different settings and none of them have any affect on my vehicles at all.

Also, when I set a vehicle/train to only pick up lets say 50% so that the recieving end does not become over filled.. it will still fill all empty cargo room.

Please help... Thanks

Seems like you have misunderstood something here:

The load percentage does not set a maximum load, but a minimum load. (i.e. if you set it to 50%, the vehicle wil not start driving until it is at least 50% full.)

The function is used to keep vehicles from running (almost) empty - which would generate quite a loss of money - and not for preventing storages from being filled to quickly (you can do that by using fewer or smaller vehicles).

And wait time is used on top of load percentage only:

If you set a load percentage and a wait time, a vehicle will also generally wait until it is e.g. 50% full - but when the time expires, it will start even with a smaller load.
