No goods at my stations?

[ghoulert]

Sorry if this has already been answered

I put a trainstation next to a oilpumping site, but there never came any oil onto my station.

I put a lorry station next to a coal mine, but there never came any coal ;/

I played TTD a few years ago, then there was no problem.

Is there some kinda setting i have to change or ?

Did you send an appropriate vehicle to the stations?

[Hyronymus]

Yes, you should change the following switch in ttdpatch.cfg:

Code: Select all

`selectgoods' (-G)

[ghoulert]

change it to what ?

Doest it really matter if i send anything to the station or not ?, the goods should still come to the station whether there is a train on it or not

What if you clicked on that link and read the whole page before asking for help you've already received?

[ghoulert]

Oh, terribly sorry >_<

Sorry if im being a dumbass again, but is there a way to just make the cargo show up even if there is no train in the station? if it says so in the link, i cant seem to find it

Think of the factory manager being very mistrusting. He won't send any cargo to your station until he's sure it'll be picked up, because he's afraid that it might spoil. This means that you have to prove your capabilities by showing him your carrier.

So, if you just make sure that no goods trains ever enter your delivery station, you'll never see any goods there, and you won't get bad ratings for not picking them up. This is easier to do with the new non-stop handling, because that way no train will stop at the station if it isn't on the schedule. On the other hand, the pickup station will only ever see goods, even if there's a coal mine nearby, which might have its own station.

However, if only a single train tries to pick up goods at the delivery, or coal at the goods station, they'll continue to appear forever, so be careful. The only way to reset this is by using the Cht: ResetStation cheat.

SwitchConfiguration file: selectgoods on|off|<days>
Command line: -G

Description
Sometimes you may want to build two stations at a busy factory, one for deliveries of steel etc. and one to pick up the goods. The problem is that normally goods will appear at both of the stations, making this setup rather useless.

With this patch, no goods will appear until a carrier for that particular type of cargo has arrived.

Think of the factory manager being very mistrusting. He won't send any cargo to your station until he's sure it'll be picked up, because he's afraid that it might spoil. This means that you have to prove your capabilities by showing him your carrier.

On the other hand, the pickup station will only ever see goods, even if there's a coal mine nearby, which might have its own station.

After a certain time of no cargo pickup attempts, the station will forget this cargo type. By default, this happens after 365 days, but you can choose the number of days with the parameter to the selectgoods switch. If you specific "selectgoods 2", the forgetting feature is disabled, and stations will never forget any cargo that has been picked up before.

To make one or all stations forget their cargo selection immediately, you can use the StationReset cheats.

It's really there!

• Find ttdpatch.cfg in your TTD directory
• Open it with Notepad
• Look for "selectgoods". It should be a line saying "selectgoods on"
• Change it to "selectgoods off"
• Save the file
• Finished
