I’d love to see a system that allows forbidding goods from wagons, similar to the existing storage buildings. It is very difficult to concentrate things like coal from distant mining to centralized production areas, it may help to have a dedicated logistics fleet. I have 1k coal in the system, and 0 coal in the stockyard I am trying to concentrate it in.
How many wagon shops do you have? Might need a few more if they’re struggling to deliver. Wagons mainly pick up from mines/pits and stock temp shelters, but if they’re not needed for those then they will do other stuff around your town.
There are 17 (34 wagons) in that situation. Obviously spamming more is a solution, but not the one I think is best. Granting more control over storage and carriage makes sense. Build more and hope for the best is a little inelegant!
You probably know this already, but just in case: have you checked that the coal isn’t being delivered to marketplaces instead? I always forget to uncheck coal storage in them
No, of course that wasn’t the issue. I obviously would have checked that. So yea, that was happening, hopefully this will lead to a revolution in logistics.
I fully support the idea.
What I usually do is set the remote maximum storage capacity for, e.g., coal to a very low value and that of the centralised spot where I want goods to be delivered to a high minimum value. This seems to help but the outcome often still is unsatisfactory. Specialised transport could be feasible solution.
Same thing happens with the food
