BAGHDAD MISSION .... Cannot get machines from the port

[ahellary]

hi ive got to the part where i need to transport machines to the oil well and base camp i am supplying the port with a lot of silver but it never produces any machines to get to the customers

im at a loss thanks

When a factory is receiving the items it requires to produce but still does not produce, the only possible reason is that there is no proper connection between it and the building/s that demand its products. As I recall in that particular mission you are expected to take the machines to an oil well or some other industry in the corner of the map that is demanding machines.

i have cargo depots at the base camp and the oil well and they light up the proper places so its not that but thanks ... the machine warehouse knows its 2 customers but th e production never gets to 100 and its keeps using the silver but not making machines

Are you using the right vehicles that can carry machines and do the lines have a frequency that is not infinite or '-' .

FWIW 'the machine warehouse knows its 2 customers' is a function of the map regardless of any network that has been built .

It will only produce up to the amount of demand that it sees no matter how much silver you feed it.

both the lines have times on them .... the demand is for the mission or do i need dom other demand? thanks you have all been helpful just havent solved it yet ok there doesnt seem to be any demand for the machines the depots light up the appropriate industry and the branch line station and there are lines from the station depot to each of the industries but no demand

Hi all i still cannot get this to work how do i report a bug as im guessing thats what this is i have removed and added the carco truck stations removed and added the lines and sold and bought new trucks and still it does not work in the list of transportable goods on the branch line machines do not appar ... im about to give up and ask for a refund as this is faulty

Double check that the trucks & wagons used in all legs of the journey from the port to the Oil well can carry machines.

(I'm guessing with the following):-
The scenario starts with a train running between Adana and the port. The consist of this train is Gondolas and Tankers. Thus the train can carry the silver to the port in the Gondolas, so you might be delivering the silver to Adana for the train to take it to the port. However the train cannot bring the machines back to Adana, because that requires Boxcars on the train.
