Loading trash?

[Adil3tr]

I'm trying to load fertilizer onto a garbage truck and send it to farms but it loads incredibly slowly. I built a "transfer for large garbage containers" but then it literally wouldn't load anything. What am I supposed to do? A road cargo station didn't speed it up either.

Are you trying to load into which garbage truck? For large or small containers?

If you want to load from a dump you want the claw machine dump, Transfer stands are handy for having one (or more) truck/s collecting fertiliser from the dumps and storing it at the transfer for another truck to take to the actual destination.

It's a bit frustrating to understand how logistics works for trash. The incinerating similarly doesn't work how it should. I attached it to another dump to place its export into, but it just started passing its import through instead.

Large. It's a dump for biological waste and then as it turns to fertilizer the trucks are loading it and taking it to the farm.

Do you know what the script line is to make a dump a claw dump? I'm using custom dumps but none of them seem to be claw ones.

Looking through the configs my guess is that these control loading and unloading speeds:

$VEHICLE_LOADING_FACTOR 13.0
$VEHICLE_UNLOADING_FACTOR 1.5

My guess is that these are multiplied with some hidden internal base speed, so a 1.0 would emulate a basic dump without a claw and higher values would speed up the loading and unloading process.
