How to improve Shipment in factories?

[bassipalmiro]

Sorry guys, anyone can clear up to me how to improve Shipment in the panel of the factories? Many thanks for helping me

City A needs 50 brick and your construction material factory can produce and ship 100 bricks, but the city only needs 50, so your shipping is 50% of what it could be.
So, find another customer. If there is a city b that also requires brick, then you could ship to it too and double your shipping %.
Alternatively, or if there are no other brick demanding cities, try to grow city A and thereby increase its' brick demand.

Many thanks!

Was wondering about this too, thank you for asking and for the answer!

That does make sense...
However, My city demands for example 198 oil and I am delivering 40 (20%). Yet my oil-drill isn't shipping over 45%.

It's common, when I find cities supply is not matching demand, and I think I have enough capacity, something is wrong, somewhere.

I have to backtrack, checking every terminal for overload, and make sure transport is at 100%.

Make sure there's enough supply for any factory. You need anywhere from 1 to 4 goods to produce one good. So that can be a bottleneck.

Also, if you can't ship something fast enough, that seems to effect supply. That's why it's not easy to hit 100% I think, because any inconsistency or too much time spent in a supply line is going to keep you from 100%.

Sometimes I am SURE the problem is not on my end, but then it always is. In a complex supply chain, there's a lot that can go wrong.

I figured it out. It's the global concurrent amount of produced units in existence.
Therefore, in order to increase the shipment value you want to deliver more products and build additional storage.

To increase shipment of a product you have to increase the demand of that product. E.g. by connecting more factories, make them evelling up and/or growing the cities.

here's my materials supply chain:
quarry at 100/400 shipment, 100% transport ->
construction materials plant at 49/100 shipment, 100% transport ->
city at 40/94 supply

it is the only city i supply with materials yet

why don't the industries level up?

you need 75% off all 3 stats that the fab upgrade, with only 49 you are 26 too low.

but the quarry could produce more, right?

read better, it already produce 400 but only shipps it's 100.

OK, thanks for the info. but the materials plant only makes 7-8 products out of 55 stone, and the rule is 1->1. that doen't make much sense to me. especially considering that the outgoing transport could handle much more and the so does the city.

[Metacritical]

how much of your city is covered by your delivery network? if your city demands 94 but only 49 of that is within range of your delivery network, then the factory will only ever produce 49 bricks until you expand your network to deliver bricks to the rest of your city. any building that you cannot deliver to doesn't exist as far as the brick factory is concerned.

all the material consumers are covered by truck unload stops, that are connected to a truck station that is connected to the cargo train station where the material comes in. i've set up hundreds of these supply lines and they always worked.
however none of the transport units in the supply line are at capacity.
could it be a problem that the cargo train station in the city only covers a fraction of the industry buildings? i mean that the truck line is not recognized for some reason?

[Huperspace]

it will produce it's 100 bricks (1:1 rule) but will only ship to you the 49 or what ever your connected network demands.
(already 100+ discussions about this missunderstanding)
without pics or better a savegame (workshop upload) this will be a long way to fix.
