Additional Information
Production:
When one product's storage is full, production for the second product will double.

For example, if the sawmill is full of beams but lacks lumber, delivering a log will result in the production of two pieces of lumber instead of one, with no additional beams being produced.



Storage:
In RRO, most locations, except the Freight Depot, have limited storage capacities. While you will still earn money even if you deliver more than the storage capacity, it's crucial to note that exceeding the limit won't result in additional product generation.

Let's break it down with some examples:

Example 1:
Take the sawmill, for instance. Initially, you can deliver 100 logs, which will be converted into 100 lumber and 100 beams. The pond can store an additional 100 logs, allowing you to deliver a total of 200 logs initially.

Example 2:
The iron mine has a storage capacity of 20 beams and 24 lbs. However, to produce iron ore, you only need 1 beam and 2 lumps, which generate iron ore. Therefore, it's essential to balance your deliveries carefully to avoid delivering too many beams compared to lumber, as this can lead to diminished ore production.

Conclusion
In conclusion, efficient cargo management involves shipping mixed cargoes when needed. This optimisation of cargo space and production chains will maximise your profits and minimise the waste of both time and resources.
External Tools
All tools are recommended based on personal experience I am not a I.T security professional so install at your own risk as per any software on the internet.

If any of the tools recommended here are out of date with no plans to update eg. abandoned ware please let me know.




RailroadsOnline Extended[tom-90.github.io]- provides an in-game minimap, with the ability to remotely control switches and locomotives. In addition, RROx allows you to teleport to various locations and trigger autosaves and even includes some cheats such as flight and fast sprint.




Train Buillder[oaa.app.link] - Allows you to calculate how many wagons you can take based on track grade & Locomotive either click the link for a web based version or scan the QR code for the phone app.

Note from developer: The new locomotives from the Montezuma onwards are not in the app The reason for this is simple, I have not gotten around to updating the app yet. Instead try my Google Sheets Version[docs.google.com]
Please make yourself a copy by going to File>Make a Copy.




Railroad Studio[railroad.studio] Railroad Studio is a static HTML, JavaScript and CSS webpage used to view and modify save files for Railroads Online. including the new beta splines.

This does include the latest locomotives as of release 221103-BETA and should update with new locos as they come out and I add them to the data base without you having to make another copy.
Credits
Just a little thank you to people who have helped maintain or provide information over time and have spotted errors or bad edits I made over time.

  • Murray99 - Spotted a few errors in the early days making the guide better for everyone.

  • 1legotrain - Provided some information on update 220201 and spotted an error or two.

  • MauserPT7 - Spotted some other errors previously missed. and went out of his way to reach out with a comprehensive list to save me chasing my tail.

  • men's Health Month - Spotted the refinery information was from a previous update.

  • ALIEN - Discovered that some of the new rolling stock had different values than expected.

  • Niko - Saved my bacon and provided all the information for Gregg Cars whilst I was busy running around scanning the 51/1000 planets in Starfield.

  • puncake Found that selling seeds to freight depot did not in fact result in payment.

  • heckle1903 - Provided missing figures for profits for the newer industries.

  • SadowSon - Confirmed how XP is working in 1.0 saving me hours of testing.




If this guide made your experience better and you’ve got a few bucks to spare, why not toss a tip my way? It means the world and keeps me motivated to make more awesome guides and keep them updated. Thanks a ton! 😊

@SadowSon Thanks for the tip that massively helpful, I as a result did consider removing the separated column but just in case the Dev re balances this in the future i kept the column as its a pain to add/remove from the BBcode.

I've briefly updated the freight depot to have all the XP values I will add this to the main table on my weekend or should life get busy during Christmas break
SadowSon Dec 8, 2024 @ 11:45pm 
Just a reference for you Jakaya, the EXP you gain from selling items is identical to the price value (As of 1.0 release) and DOES NOT change with game difficulty.
AKA, if you're earning $10 from selling a log, then you're getting 10 exp.
Which makes gold EXTREMELY lucrative. More so than oil or meat...

Industries Table updated to 1.0, Updated Icons to match in games Icons had to move freight depot section down to its own section as hit the character limit (Apparently there is a character limit)
Jakaya  [author] Dec 6, 2024 @ 6:39am 
Quick Reference section is now 1.0
Jakaya  [author] Dec 6, 2024 @ 6:32am 
@Heckle appreciate it, Updating the guide to 1.0 at the moment should start seeing some changes coming in as the day goes on take a while to format things nicely
Jakaya  [author] Dec 6, 2024 @ 6:32am 
@Niko I can certainly look at adding XP this will require testing on my part unless someone already has the figures at the moment i'm currently updating the guide to 1.0
heckle1903 Dec 5, 2024 @ 10:35pm 
-dredge: 5 pipes + 5 tools + 5 coal = 1 gold ore
