Train does not transport any goods from city to warehouse
Hello

My train/transport system is getting nuts, if have a number of warehouses and for example one warehouse is connected to cattle, while the city next to it produces meat.

Now the trains ONLY transport cattle from this warehouse to the city, on the way back they go empty.
YES, meat is accepted at the warehouse, it shows 0/99 meat
YES, there is tons of meat in the city, in stock 30 meat at the moment.

STill all trains go empty.

I have added beer to appected goods at the warehouse too, there are 74 beer in the city, train drives empty. He only loads cattle on the way warehouse-> city 1, but on the way back always empty.

Any help appreciated as my system has a 200 trains now and wihtout beet or meat everything stops working

Well it's working the way you think it should work. Just show us at least one screenshot cause describing what works and saying it doesn't isn't helping us to figure it out. You may take more than one screenshot to show us all relevant info and by doing that you may stumble upon the mistake you've made by yourself.

Hello

None of my trains does transport ANY goods from city to warehouse now.

It worked before (same game / map)

Warehouse with cheese
{LINK REMOVED}
cheese
{LINK REMOVED}
train route NORFOLK - Warehouse 1
{LINK REMOVED}

empty train says it cant find any load (Norfolk - Warehouse 1)
{LINK REMOVED}

And here is a city full of stock, no train takes ANY goods from that city:

trains are all driving - empty

Trains only transport "basic" goods now (corn,wood, grain, cotton,...)
Whatever is produced in a city (meat, beer, cheese, furniture, ...), they will NOT transport it to a warehouse.
They do transport it from city A to city B

It worked before, but it stopped somewhen.

What is wrong??

It does not change anything if I give the good priority.
If I set MIN to 1, the train will wait forever in the citys train station.

All the X on my screenshots are saying "Train can't find any goods to load".
I had this map working fine and balanced before, then I re-arranged some routes and put in 2 more warehouses. Now they stoped moving anything from cities to warehouses.

BTW: There was a GAME-UPDATE before I started the game this afternoon. I could not do anything against the update, steam just said game is waiting for an update before launch.

Could be a bug with the new update.

How about a picture of the main screen for a City you want to take goods from? That is the screen that shows the quantity of goods available for export. A City will only ever export goods that it makes, and only if its "reserve" is full so they have enough to last them for a while. The excess is then available for export as displayed on the primary screen for the City. If they were exporting before, and there is export stock available, it sounds like you have covered the other main points (the train *can* carry the good on that leg, there is room assigned to the destination Warehouse.) If you post a save of the game somewhere, others can tale a look in detail to confirm.

I have the same problem!
There was no problem before, but suddenly there was a problem yesterday.
All stations, all trains, had problems at the same time.
It's even the same in the new game.

Beside the possibility of a bug as some posts suggest Norfolk isn't consuming any Cheese, chaney. Generally speaking you're right and players often miss the fact that a city only exports excess goods.

The shots are all of different dates. So it's possible that while one shot shows 12 Cheese available on 24.04.1923 and 0/20 Cheese in Warehouse 1 on 18.10.1922 the "Cheese" train on 03.05.1924 hasn't found any Cheese to transport or Warehouse 1 is full. With that much time between shots it's not possible to say.

As for Austin it seems that there is either no connection to export Cloth and Liquor or the industries are producing faster than trains can ship away excess goods.

in order to shed light on: please do not build warehouses in cascade or in pyramid until you understand that game has own logic for computing free space - cargo transported by trains include in final sum. it ends up with free space in warehouse is marked busy in advance.
whether i am mistaken?

You're not, good point.

Any city/warehouse will only accept the sum of present and on-their-way goods.
Let's say the warehouse accepts 20 Cheese and there are 3 trains on their way loaded with 8+8+4 Cheese the fourth train will say "Train can't find any goods to load".

I'm having the same issue. Trains will not take anything from towns (beer, furniture, etc.) to warehouses. Even if I manually set them up to take the product it won't load the train and it sits forever waiting to load.
Yes I'm having the same issue. Raw goods (wheat, cattle, etc) go the warehouse not problem, but manufactored goods (beer, meat etc) will not longer load into warehouses.It changed since the udpate, it worked find beforehand. I've tried in Free mode and the challenge with the same result.

i did fresh start. build two station and two warehouses that NOT CONNECTED TO CITY with default 20 value.
i created two routes:
rural (catle) - city with industry (meat) - city (consumer) - small warehouse(meat)
rural (lumber) - city with industry (logs) - city (consumer) - small warehouse (logs)
it works for me.
please make your sentences more clear: how many trains on route. what is max value accepted by warehouse. big or small warehouse. what is route setup.

if you move cargo betwen two cities and city and warehouses linked to the same cities try to change max value in warehouse

I'll try to find old post in forum with similar problem to make it more clear.

fresh start, station in city (meat) - warehouse outside city accepting meat, nothing beeing transported, only train on the map, no difference what kind of warehouse or station or if warehouse is connected to a city or not

just switched back to the legacy build version and there is no problem, so it seems defenitly like a bug in this new version
