Gravel quarry?

[Dimossa]

Connection a gravel quarry to a conveyor? It doesnt have a connection, yet in the menu it states to conveyor connection to the site.

Well, no one bothers to unload the stones in the storage, transfer them with a conveyor and load them back into a truck.

Just a universal message for all mines.

Without using mods, trucks are supposed to be used to move the stone from the quarry to the gravel plant.

Use dumper trucks. There are mods which allow conveyor connections for crushed stone, but thats cheating because thats not how quarries work IRL.

Gravel Quarries only produce quarried stone when there's a truck there.
Distribution offices only send a truck when there are resources to pick up.

Because of this, it seems usual to use a line per quarry, not a distribution office, to move the quarried stone to the gravel processing plant.

Yeah, read about line in another thread as well. Tutorial doesnt really tell you there is a line option, so naturally you would lean towards distro which does not work. Appreciate the advice.

Really?

Looks like a gravel crusher is feeding the conveyor. You can see the larger stones near the bottom of the frame that look closer to what comes from the quarries in W&R:SR.

And at 0:32 you can see the big chunks from high up in the air. They don't look all that small to me.

[Silent_Shadow]

I think the chunks you are referring to are of the size seen at 0:18.

The ones at 0:32 look to be more about the size of somebody's head (look at the size of the turquoise pickup truck for comparison). But in W&R:SR, the stone chunks from the quarry look bigger than a person's shoulders, especially in the aggregate storage (about the size of a small car there).

Look again at 0:32, the aerial view, conveyor to the left. That's rather high up in the air and you can see the single chunks.

[Silent_Shadow]

Yeah, the pile on the left with the conveyor heading towards the center, that is the head sized rocks I mentioned.

The rocks in that pile look slightly smaller than the rocks in this picture (to me anyway, the distance in the video makes it hard to tell):

If you look at the top left corner of 0:32, you can see boulders the size of the pickup's cab in the video, which would be closer to the rocks we see in the aggregate storage:

From what I could find, 10" seems to be about the average length of rock a conveyor 4 feet wide can handle, which seems to be below the size of rocks in this game.

Besides, true chads move their quarried stone by cableway.
