Mission 3 - No Whiskey

[ImDrFreak]

I got to the point in Chapter 1, Mission 3 where shipping is introduced and I'm supposed to delivery Whiskey to Glasgow. The only problem is - The only distillery (the one on the Island) is at 100% production, but I can't load it anywhere. The harbor there is empty and has no cargo. I've given it plenty of time. It just seems stuck.

Am I doing something wrong? Do I need to set up a truck stop or something on that island? Is there a setting for the harbor?

Make sure the entire route is set up - Catchments, correct vehicles etc.
I seem to recall you need trucks on the Glasgow side. If any part is incorrect then you get 0 items.

I had to set up two truck stops with a line between them on port ellen island (no trucks working the line) to get the whiskey to show up in the harbor. just doing the delivery to customer bit didnt get it going for me. had to do the same for the fish at for william.

Me too

Need to have a truck station in glasgow by the harbor, not a truck unload stop.

I had to build a new harbour near port ellen distillery, only then it was working. Semms like it's bugged.

For me the issue was that my port in Glasgow was not connected to the road. You can have a fully built route with vehicles, but unless you connect the terminals to the road, nothing will happen.

Simple like that... had the same issue.. Thank you Sir!

For me all looked ok, but still showed steel, but alas even tho it looked fine it was road access that was missing to the docks. All that was needed was one tiny street patch and the ship shifted to whiskey. Had to fiddle a little with it =/

The fact that this post keeps resurfacing, four years after the game was released, indicates that the devs dropped the ball on this one scenario.

Still a great game, tho.

Make sure you set up the truck to take the whiskey from the truck stops. That was my missing step to have the harbor start to generate whiskey.

Doing the mission again now and have no problems with whiskey.
Make sure that you freight road station is in the catchment area of the port [as I have seen people add a road and then loose the attachment, because the road sometimes bends away from the station] and your end station is in the correct part of town and you have the correct horse-drawn carriage and that you have not ticked the box for it to pick-up/deliver the wrong product, and that you have a few vehicles on the route, also that you have a ship for the task.
Also check the factory to see if it has recognised it has 'customers' [same with the pub part].
Edit: Make sure the "Ferryman's wages" [pub delivery] is done BEFORE the delivery of the fish or you won't get the last Gold award!

This was driving me mad. In the end I concluded it was, if not a bug in the software, then something so badly designed that it may as well have been a bug. Here's my advice:

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, DO NOT ACCEPT THE BONUS MISSION IMMEDIATELY.

The bonus mission is the one that starts with the spiel about the angels' share disappearing and the drunken shipmates. Don't accept it. Leave it in the deck waiting for a response.

Do the main mission (whisky from Islay > dock > Glasgow commercial sector) first. Set up your ship, set up your dock in the bay near Glasgow and *make sure it is connected to a road*, set up your truck station and depot and an unload stop in the commercial sector of Glasgow city centre. Make sure that when you click the dock, the catchment lights up the truck station, and vice versa. Run a line of cargo stagecoaches between the dock and your city centre unload stop.

You shouldn't need to do anything else, in particular you don't need to do any fancy cargo-filtering business or any road supply on Islay: after a couple of minutes on fast forward, the whisky should start to flow.

Finally, you can now accept the bonus mission. For me this only worked if I set up a dedicated line to a truck stop right outside the pub and filtered the orders so it was forced to pick up 100% whisky from the dock and nothing else, but maybe I was just being impatient.

Solution

On the line connect first Port Ellen Pier and then Glasgow Harbour.
Never the other way around, otherwise it won't work.

I was stuck here too. built all kinds of stuff at Port Ellen Harbor, to no avail. Then I reloaded a save game. I set up a Truck station in the middle of Glasgow, opposite the pub, destroying a couple of houses (I didn't care anymore). Set up a line between the harbor and this Truck station. Suddenly, though the ship was told to leave only with 100% goods from Port Ellen Harbor, it left. It went to Glasgow (empty, showing steel only). Then it sailed back and there I saw the entire dock full of barrels. Not a great user experience, this.

Interstingly, the next goal is to build a railroad to deliver fish to Glasgow, even though the fishery is on the water. I connected the Cargo terminus to the line that was transporting passengers. Then I delivered the fish with a boat, so as not to upset the passenger lines. :)
