Full-load order doesn't work

[krtaylor]

I'm playing a test game with the Japanset. I have the usual multiple industrial trains. There's one spot where both a coal mine and an iron-ore mine are very close; I have one station serving both. Previously I did just the iron ore, then I connected to a power plant, moved and enlarged the station, and added coal trains.

The coal trains work fine.

The iron-ore trains worked fine before I move the station. But now, they refuse to wait until full! They'll pick up whatever's waiting, no problem - but then they just go on their way without waiting.

I've tried resetting the orders, re-entering them, resetting FIFO, all sorts of things, and nothing will make them work right! Meanwhile, the coal trains patiently do their job without trouble, in the very same station.

Any ideas?

What Patch version are you using? If it happens to be a55vcs, try upgrading to a55vcs2 - a55vcs had a bug with fulloadany.

Could you post the savegame where it happens? I can't fix it if I can't reproduce it...

TTDXC says it's a55, July 9, 2005.

Here's the savegame - it's saved looking at the station with the troubles.

OK, I could reproduce the problem, but I'm afraid the problem is in the GRF, not in the patch. The second part of the engine you're using has a capacity of 35 tons of coal, although this is invisible to the player. You can test it yourself: send an engine-only train to that station, and it will load 35 tons of coal. Used with fullloadany, TTD allows the train to leave since it's full of coal. The caboose also has a capacity of 20 crates of goods, I don't know if it should be this way.

You mean, the engine's tender carries coal? Bizarre. OK, I know how to fix the problem.

You're right that the caboose carries goods, that's another bug I've reported.

Thanks for clearing things up.
