Turning off industry closure

[Tidgy]

Is there a way to turn off industry closures? or reduce how much needs to be tyransported to keep them open?

So slight update, im struggling to understand how the programming works and what im doing wrong.

I have an oil to a refinery route setup, using trucks, twin roads and trucks set to full. i have enough so that's there is at least 2 waiting to load all the time, yet it the % transported is dropping off and the production a month is dropping.

What am i doing wrong? it does this even with crop type industry's which shouldn't drop off over years.

Nothing, oil wells in real life become exhausted too.

Land based oil in TTD has always been a short term source of income. You can see an approximation of how much oil each well contains before you build.

Personally, I only bother with Land oil if I can incorporate it on an existing rail route. Sea based wells on the other hand can be very profitable.

Try starting with Coal to power plant for some good reliable early income.

If you are not using mods which have a limited supply before they run out, all Oil Wells will run out. It was an "bug" left over from the original TTD.
There is a GRF that you can download that stops Oil Wells from closing and they can increase production as well.

As for the other industries, does this happen all the time or only periodically?
Depending on settings, the map you are playing can have the occasional recession and all primary industries will lose production. You can change these setting to have a more stable economy.

Don't trust the percentage transported number, it's definitely wrong most of the time. Production does change up and down, you can see the monthly reports of which resource producers go up and down by percentage. The only thing that matters is balancing production and transport so you don't have too much resource accumulation at your transport sites or not enough to fill your trains and trucks.
