Trains not loading goods

[InvalidSelection]

I had 4 trains set, they were rolling through the stations, stopping at the right places, with the right cargo containers but at no point did they load coal or wood. Any ideas what I have wrong?

Hi, can you share a screenshot with said trains in a station and Routes UI open?

Did you set loading the good in the route option? If you don't tell the train, that he needs to load/unload certain goods at certain station, he won't do it.

I'll get a few screenshots when I get a chance to play next.

I tried with goods set, I tried without any filter, neither mattered.

Hey, i got the same issue and was going nuts for around an hour. Turns out, i used the TENDERS not the Cargo Waggons. So of course they did not load Coal. Check this out :)

Same problem here with stones -> https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2841978774

Should go on the orange train but nothing happens? Am i missing something?

Make sure that you set your action to load and add a filter for Cut Stone.

[SilverSpeedy]

Did you have swap workers or unload/load checked?

[Kantholz]

Filter for cut stone is set and load/unload is set also(load at town until 100% full and unload at the storage). I am still trying..

[Kantholz]

OK i am stupid, it really WAS set to swap workers. Geuss i forgot to change the setting after deleting the schedule befor. Thanks alot for the help!

So it appears that the work mode for the trains that exchanges people does not exchange goods too. That was my problem.

Feature request: unified work mode that does both. I was attempting to make trains that handled the workers and it's goods, and instead I need extremely specific trains to keep things functional. Automation wise, this is incredibly inefficient.

You can set a second "stop" at the lumberjack station and set it to load goods. So it'll arrive, exchange workers, travel exactly nowhere to the next stop since it is the same place, and then load up on goods.

Had exactly the same issue..

Also i found out that you CANNOT use the "passenger => 100%" setting or trains will just "pass" at stations not exchanging any workers because this setting ignores the status of the passengers. And since the train is full, it will just pass. Use timer settings instead and wait like 20-30sec.

When I attempted that, it threw an error reporting the station as blocked.

you got the load condition for Full Passenger load. works for me, though I prefer the 20s timer for passenger trains
