Goods from industry in same city

Post by TheVirus »

I have a problem which I run into often. I have a goods factory very nearby a city. I have a station that covers both the goods factory and the city. Now my question is: how can you transport the goods from that very goods factory to that very city? Because everytime I do that, trucks or trains will not unload in the station that is somewhere else in the city. If I force to unload, the goods simply just pile up at that station.
I've included a screenshot for clarity. Where the gray markers are, there were truck stations to transport the goods to the city, but it simply doesn't work.

Did the stations actually accept goods? When you check the info on the buildings in the city, some will say: "Accepts: 3/8 Goods", or similar. You have to have a total of 1 goods in your catchment area for the station to accept goods and not just pile them.

You can simply check when you place a station if goods are accepted in that area. But you need Lorry stations and not bus stations. I don't know if I'm right, but it looks like you're using busstops.

I did use truck stops, not bus stops (the gray labels were truck stops). But I feel really stupid now, the station in the city wasn't near enough the centre so it didn't accept goods. Apologies for my dumbness ;). Thank you!
