now this is strange, look at the date on the old pic, and now on the new one. It went from 0 to 2295 in one month! never ever seen that before in ttd.

2,295 is the maximum production...
Sounds like an overflow problem to me...

Overflow problem is unlikely, because the variable that holds the actual amount produced is a word and could go up to 65535, even though production can't.. My initial guess would have been "Cht: Year", but then it would've been 0 in December, so showing "last months production" 0 in January, but it's February in the first picture. Strange.

Could it be a TTDAlter problem, you can change industries too and that production is not possible in a game that hasn't been altered
My highest production of coal never reaches a 1000

Could you tell me why they are using one bit of this factory production word

Why does a factory stop at 27k and a bit, this seemed like half of 65k
I'm not very good at bits, I thought they used a part for storing other information

the only time I used the year cheat was at 2000, I changed it back to 1995 becouse I want ready yet for the monorail :), but as you can see that was a long time agoo. I did alter the start production. I edited so all coal mines start with 140tons of coal.
