Cargo station between mine and factory

[Nightwish62]

As far es I remeber, it was possible to put a cargo station right between (for example) a mine and a factory (so both buildings are highlighted when place the cargo station) and create a line from the station to itself. That way in TF1 the goods was transfered from the mine to the factory. Didn't seem to work in TF2 with a single cargo station anymore?

Works with another across the road though .

Can follow you, what you're meaning. Mayby a language difficult of mine.
Are you refering that a mine and factory can exchange goods directly, without any cargo station at all?

He means instead of having 2 stops at the same station, put one station across the road from another, and run between them to get a similar function.

Pretty sure the 2 stops at the same station doesn't work in this game.

no , closer to your original plan . The trucks are running goods from the port to the steel mill . One is to the north of the road the other to the south so the trucks do not travel very far .

Okay. So my hunch was right that this would not work with a single station. Yeah, trucks don't go that far that way anymore. However, I wonder what it means that the further away you are from the factory, the weaker the highlighting gets. Are goods being delivered less or less quickly? Would it be better to bring the stations further apart and closer to the factory?

Just because I am interested: Making an exchange with only one station was possible in the first part, right? Because I remember it that way.
