transport by multiple lines

[sobrano]

Hello everyone, I just bought this game. I am not able to set trasport by multiple lines. Supposing I have to transport spoons from factory to hotel. I can do that only by connecting factory to hotel in some way with a dedicated line. I failed when I tried to perform this transport in two step: I would like to use before a train to deliver spoons from factory to the city edge and so by building a truck station close to the train station I would like to get spoons form the city edge and transport those to the hotel in the city center by using trucks. Is it possible to do something like that in this game? many thanks everyone

It's definitely possible (I do it all the time). Can we have a look at your save?

I am at Chapter I / Mission 4.
so supposing you have i.e. a mine who produce silver, and you build near this mine a starting station (correctly connected to mine), if you build a destination station somewhere, where the silver is not needed, than you are able to transport silver from mine to destination station ? In my games that seems impossible, the silver is neither stocked in the starting station which remains empty because there are not a demand in destination station

To create the demand you have to link the producer of the silver to the consumer of the silver.

If A = Producer, D=Consumer and B and C are intermediate stations/truck stops then you can have

A -> B -> C-> D

and it will work as long as there is a transport connection from A to B and B to C and C to D.

If there is no way for the silver to get from A to D then nothing will happen.

Stuff - cargo + passengers - will use as many lines as they desire as long as the total travel time is within a certain window - extremely long lines in general will draw very few passengers.

If people or cargo are not switching, then there is a "break" in the chain somewhere in the way, for example, the train station and the truck station are not connected and within each other's catchment areas.

You may also want to see if the vehicles can actually transport what you want to transport - i.e. specific types of cargo - or, for cargo, if any of the industries or cities in the chain actually desire the cargo you are trying to transport in the first place.

Normally now I am able to do multiple lines connections, but sometimes that doesent works. Actually in chapter 1 mission 6 I have to transport Oil from oilwell to Konya. I set up a correct lines path: truck from oilwell to truck/train station in Adana - Train from Adana to Eregli - Train from Eregli to Konya. Konya station serve oil building demander.
Here my savefile, someone can suggest me what I wrong?

pls use the steam workshop upload or upload all needed files (.lua is also needed).
your save crashes the time it wants to play the cutsceen.

In Mission 6 you need to deliver Machines from the harbour to the oil well in order it to produce oil.

I have no problem to complete that mission, I turned around the problem by connecting directly Oilwell to Konya.
In this save game I was trying to do the same thing by multiple lines who should works but it doesent. So I just would like to understand what is wrong in this lines connections. I know maybe 4 connections are too much but normally if I understood how games works it should works

nothing "broken" with this save, the rates are so dam low that it takes ages that machines reach the oil well to be producing.
but alot wrong e.g., ultra short distances should use trucks instead of trains (grain);
the games doesn't "support" cargo and PAX with only one halt, so production is not triggered as your PAX-cargo line is only registered as PAX line. -> have a seperate train with oil only to the cities. (click on cargo symbol vs pax symbol at halt adding)

You can upload your saves directly to the Workshop.

Just select the save of choice in the "Save/Load Game", and then there is a button called "Upload to Workshop" or something along these lines.

so if I understrand my connections are correct but I should delete passeger wagons and left just oil wagons on my train configuration... is it correct?

More specifically you need to click on the cargo icon of the station when assigning that station to your line, otherwise the cargo can not be transferred. When you have a single station with both cargo and passenger platforms it actually functions as 2 separate stations. The icon you click on determines which station you are assigning it to. If you do not click on one of the icons and just on the physical station itself than I think it normally defaults to the passenger station.

Is there a way to do the logistic like silver from A-B and then B-C spoons in same track?

Absolutely, just make sure that your wagons can carry both or have a line with the two types of required wagon.

Many thanks, I think this is the point who didnt works. I will pay more attention in my next games. So now I understand well why we cant do a train with mixed wagons (cargo+pass)
