Great Lakes Toronto Winter Clothing Bug?

[JohnofWem]

I have reached the task 'Supply 24 loads of clothing to Toronto'
I had already had the opportunity to buy out the Saguenay tailors, increased output and had accumulated a large amount of cloth from Halifax and Ontario, furs from the two northern sources and winter clothing in a warehouse. So this looks pretty simple. Just collect the winter coats already present in the warehouse and take them Toronto.
However when I tried this only 8 were accepted and the rest were sent back. I tried building a warehouse outside Toronto so I could force acceptance by preventing upload of the clothing to the same train which delivered it and there are now 24 loads in the warehouse, but no message that the task is fulfilled.
So perhaps these need to be combined with wood to make tools? I tried this and the tools are in the warehouse to be delivered to major cities, but still no task fulfilment. It is only 1864 so this can't be a time expired problem.
Anyone else had this problem?

Sorry but it doesn't. I am way ahead of the dates in this video with gold ticks all the way. Not being a traniac this is important to get a good achievement score. The video shows no problem with delivery of winter clothing in 1866. Perhaps I am too far ahead for the test parameters for this task? I will strive to increase the freight income and see what happens.

This may hinge on the precise requirement of "supply to." I'm not sure if they would need to be delivered directly to a Toronto Station, or if delivering to an attached (player built) Warehouse and then having them automatically transfer to the City would count. In some cases there are specific special warehouses (game makes them) that accept the quest goods.

When you talk about goods being "sent back" where were you delivering them? For normal play, goods will never be sent back except if the train is running between two player built Warehouses, in which cast the game tries to keep both of them supplied. This can be prevented by prohibiting the goods from being loaded on trains in one of the directions.

I have 62 coats in the Toronto warehouse, 19 in the Saguenay warehouse and 17 in Toronto City. The task report shows only 4 have been received. The warehouse is definitely linked to the city.
Sending coats from Saguenay WH using the freight setting it won't pick them up, presumably because the Toronto store is showing '!'; it is already full.
Sending by manual method the coats are picked up from Saguenay but even though the manual setting for Toronto was set to all unload they were not unloaded, which is what I mean by sent back. The same happens if I try sending from the Toronto WH to Toronto city.
All I can do now is go back to an earlier save before the part 4 tasks were given and no coats had been made at Saguenay. I can only assume one of the parameters to test this task has not been set correctly and trying again from this earlier date without sending any coats till asked to do so might fix this.

I suspect sending to YOUR Warehouse isn't sufficient, they must go to the specific place. That they are not going to the place you think they should suggests maybe there is not sufficient demand. Can you check the City Demand Screen for that? I'm sorry, I don't know the scenario and can't run it on this computer.

You say "17 in Toronto City" ... are they making them there? If they are making tons of them in Toronto and already meeting the City demand, you'll be hard pressed to bring more in for the task. If that's the case, how did the factory get there?

I think I ran into this problem. The clothes must be delivered to the city station, not a connected warehouse.

are the winter clothing used to produce tools in Toronto? is the internal warehouse for tools in Toronto full? Than ship the tools to a external warehouse so Toronto uses up the clothing.
Ist been a while since i played that, just an idea,

They are supplied to when the city has the demand to demand to buy them, until then they will just sit in the Warehouse, where they are NOT counted as being BOUGHT.

So work on increasing the size of the city, so the population will want to buy more stuff. If you increase the population by 50%, you will increase how fast they buy by 50%.
