Cargodist issue: some destinations not taken into account

[PaFoo]

Hi all,

In order fo feed mines and forests with vehicles, I usually set up some trains with one or two cars fitted for vehicles, and the rest for the "main" cargo (coal, ...).

It works perfectly for most mines/forests, but for some of them, no vehicles delivery is scheduled from the factory. I tried a direct connection from the factory to the forest/mine, but with no success, but the "cargo link" is well displayed however. Is there a way to "debug" this?

Thanks in advance for any help...

Have you enabled "symmetric" distribution mode for the vehicles? If so, the only way to get vehicles transported is to have a mostly equal amount at both sides.

Another common problem is distance. You can tune how much cargodist cares for nearby destinations (versus farr away destinations). If you have it at 100% (default value), some of your destinations may be just too far away.

Thanks for this answer.

I'll try with the distance tuning. But how can I figure out the correct value? In other words, what means 0%, 50% or 100% ?

There is a whole block of white text explaining what it means (click on the line iirc)

100% means it cares a lot about distance
