Can more than one train load at one station at the same time

Post by feffe789 »

:lol: Hey guys, my name is Felix and I was just wondering if there was a way to make two or more trains load cargo at the same time at the same station? If anybody knows then a screenshot would be appreciated=)

As it is stated on the wiki it is completely the opposite of what the TS wants. The TS wants to load multiple trains at the same time, while the wiki says loading trains after each other when that setting is set to true. So, according to the wiki, TS should set it to false to get the behaviour he wants. In my game having the setting on true loads multiple trains at the same time, but that also might be because I have Load vehicles gradually set to true.

It's a bit more subtle. That setting does load multiple vehicles if there is enough cargo available. If an industry gives 50 crates, and the first train has room for 20, the other 30 will get loaded into the second train at the same time.
You can observe this behaviour usually when a train is nearly full, and a second train is also waiting for cargo. The second train starts loading before the first one is completely filled.
