Export Problems

[ItzNotMichxel]

Not sure what the reason for the problem is but basically nothing is exporting not even mail. 1 in like every 10 train loads will export like 20 tons of only one material but then every train coming in is importing 100s of tons of multiple materials and my train depot has over 1000 tons of cargo just sitting in it waiting to be exported its basically become just a warehouse. Same thing for Airports and Sea Harbors. Im pretty sure its some problem with exporting as a whole because even my mail sorting facility processes and moves around intercity mail to local post offices but the global mail in the facility just keeps increasing and i haven't notice one truck export global mail in over 25 hours of gameplay and now my citizens are complaining that mail isnt being processed also pretty sure the game only uses one sorting facility at a time I put down 3 and only the first one i put down gets any mail in it and is now completely filled because the game wont take the mail to the other sorting facilities

A lot of people have been complaining about exports being bugged. I haven't really noticed anything being exported myself, but I also haven't played around with any large cities yet and things like harbors, freight trains, etc. The only thing I noticed not being exported was stuff from my recycling center.

Exports by train are working for me yet to test ships

I believe a certain level of resource retention is intended. In the dev diary, they referred to them as warehouses. But I do think the train exports are broken because my trains are empty too.

In that thread the developers replied and made it clear it was a bug rather than a grand conspiracy to mislead.

Yeah, what Else should they say.

"What u are about to read is realy cruel ..." can be interpreted several ways.

That would make sense, as some of the material you generate (Coal, ore, stone, chickens, etc) is used by your industry, but the surplus is exportable and it even says one of the tool tips. That being said, I am generating like 4x or more the what my industry needs, I have trucks bringing it to the port and storing it and then ship after ship pulls up, drops off stuff and doesn't pick up anything in the port. It's definitely not WAI. It's game breaking because a port is expensive to build, expensive to maintain and is generating nothing in income

i testet export all ways, and it works kind of... but....

You have to get a lot of extra goods, the most are stored for your local industry. only when the warehouses are nearly full, or reach a specific number of stock, then it will be exportet.

I only export bare ressources right now, but i hope to start see the processed ones aswell soon.

Exports by train work however the quantity being exported makes not much sense (for me normally less then 250 tons). I also do not quite understand the choice of CO to make this a one way and one track cargo terminal. It can cause obstructions on the track if one train is loading while 3 others have to wait until it has left.

Cargo train terminal can have a second track click on the building to access the upgrade menu

Currently importing/exporting is bugged and just doesn't work and whatever does appear to be working is also more or less smoke and mirrors and isn't actually doing anything.

The game is so broken that commercial and industrial doesn't actually do anything, you can literally just ignore the coloured bar on the bottom left as its meaningless, it doesn't do anything.

There's quite a few bugs in the game that more or less break the entire game making it rather pointless, its not really a game, you just build pretty cities.

Makes the positive reviews all the more sad, or funny depending on how you look at it, its like people are not paying any attention at all to the game they're playing.

Exactly! Since i know that those "core mechanics" arent working i dont have fun playing it. I dont want to simply layout a City... i want to struggle fullfilling its needs. Industry or commercial areas that arent connected to the grid are still working fine? What the hack?

Im looking forward to the next few patches ... Till that i only prepare my 9 starting tiles with planting a forest area and let the trees grow since having a street grid without anything Else doesnt cost uphold. So you can layout streets, Plattling trees Hit the tripple speed Button and be prepared when the game actually works as intented. 😞
