A couple of logistics questions

[Lyn]

Hi! I have two small questions I was hoping people might be able to clarify for me.

1. Does the coal-storage add-on for a small station draw coal from the warehouse supply, or local village supply? I can't find much about it.

2. Maybe this will be answered as I advance further into the game, but if raw materials (coal, lumber) are only consumed from the warehouse for upkeep and building new structures, is there value in delivering these materials to the village as well? For example, does having lumber stored in a village add happiness for villagers or get utilized in some other way?

I hope the second question even makes sense. As an aside, are there any in-depth guides on the game that maybe discusses and explains smaller details, such as the coal-storage add-on for stations? Most stuff I've seen so far deals with general knowledge and signals.

Thanks in advance for any help!

When a train stopped at a station, it auto refuel with coal stored at the station
Those fuel coal need to be restocked by transport and unload with a train to the station
Except the coal mine which restock itself by mining

Thanks! I had figured as much but couldn't tell for sure. Clicking on the fuel storage at a station doesn't really tell much either, and I began to doubt myself on it. Thanks so much for the clarification!

Hi,

1 Bokinov explain it pretty well.
2. As far as i reach lumber have zero uses right now in city stations, lumber need to go to wharehouse*in early and mid game*. Coal is optional in City stations if you have it as a main hub and refuel station is good idea to supply it with some coal. The city itself don't use it so far in any "recipe" its just to fuel locomotives and tender. But ofc other design relly on refueling on facility to avoid having coal trains in busy stations.

Edit: checking in game you have paper and books that needs planks i guess late game you need them, also you need coal for clay later on.

Hope it help!
