i am having a problem. trying to do a US style game with NARS and using FIRS3 on the subtropical environment, i think it might be broken?
i need to make my clay pit more efficent so i hooked up a line to a machine shop, which according to the cargo flow produces engineering supplies.
it is not producing anything. also according to the cargo flow, it does not require anything to produce ES? the station i have put next to MS has no goods waiting and accepts nothing coming in?
i would have thought the MS would need steel, or iron, coal, something to create supplies. but if the station wont accept any goods how can i create supplies!
two trains sitting there waiting for a full load, already refit to ES ......nothing!

This does not compute.

A machine shop requires Metal and/or Petroleum fuel, it supplies Engineering and Farm supplies. It will produce maximum if any (Metal or Petroleum) are supplied.

I only play the game so cannot advise what may be incorrect in your set up

Yeah it looks like something is broken in your savegame.
Can you upload the save file?

been like this since i started it, i just changed the time to later in the game to see if it was an industry that started later in the game. was actually in 1947. checked the GRF list, no errors coming up, if its a problem with the setup then there's no point in carrying on.
its not just the machine shop, arable farms accept Farm supplies, but don't produce anything? is it the american industry set? is it not firs compatible?

here is a screen shot of the grf list i'm using for the game. see if you can spot something there.

yeah i just started another game without FIRS and it seems fine, guess since the American Industry set is based on FIRS3 code you need one or the other, but not both! surprised that didn't give me an error when i set it up. but i will just start fresh, shame i was just starting to get somewhere.

thanks for the replies.

Playing with 2 industry sets at the same time pretty much never works afaik, it's not that they are both originating from firs, likely.

I'll add a check in FIRS 4 to disable FIRS if American Industry Set is found.

Thanks for report.
