Picking up asphalt with the helicopter CO ??

[Beast of War]

I have a helicopter CO up now and finally i saw some use of the gravel conveyor connection. It is actually working pretty well, a great support for remote construction area's.

Two things excepted though : asphalt and cement. And especially the asphalt, how on earth do you connect that to a helicopter cargo heliport ??

Here you go..............

by proximity association with the appropriate helipads, both concrete and asphalt.

......you must mean concrete, rather than cement. Why would you need cement, as an end product, associated with your helicopters for construction..?

Nice, i was breaking my head over that :-))

I meant concrete, typed cement. Sorry.

Try the in-game tutorial, the helicopter part shows how to deliver all building materials by helicopter.

I managed - via a "spce for vhicles/containers" - import some light ( 7-9 t) buldozers, excavators and tower cranes into the helicopter CO.

I was expecting them to be airlifted but that is not happening so far. Do they eventually do that ?

And is it correct the helicopter deconstruction office is not functional ?

You can use a cargo helicopter to airlift mechanisms directly to the helicopter CO, but it is a bit buggy and you'll need a helipad and cargo helipad connected to a space for vehicles anyway to make it work, though they need not be near the helicopter CO.

It does still not work though, after having placed both factories in all kinds of overlapping positions with the cargo helipad.

Not connected..

The only "mistake' i can thick of these factories should be road entrance side of the cargo helipad ?

Do not use the cargo type helipad, use the other type, and it will then show them to be connected when in proximity.

Thanks, it works now. I got on the wrong foot by asuming i would need the cargo version of the helipad and i didn't know the 3x helipad only connects to 1 factory.
