Can somebody explain in the following example why the goods aren’t transported by train to each city? (see screenshots)

2

I have 1 line, 4 trains and 3 cargo stations. The goods also won’t be transported by horse (30 pieces). When I remove a part of road to a city, the goods wouldn’t be transported by train either. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

This mod is far more realistic and gives a greater challenge. Keep up the good work!

Fixes include removal of the bug Bosvelt has reported. Some goods cars were actually carrying wood…

Is that intentional and if so, why?

Tried the mod and removed it very very quickly, finding the same problem as above … cargo is not moved anymore. Annoying.

The rationale was to make them less competetive with rail. The historical reality was, that railroads were such a revolutionary invention that all other forms of transport. Horses needed to be fed, switched and could barely move the tonnage. Average horse cart could only haul 0.5 to 1 ton of cargo, depending on circumstances. Average speed of 7km/h is actually quite optimistic. 15km/h, as in base game, would kill the animals pretty darn fast.

I’ll take a look if I can make something about it.

And the speed of horse-carts is one of them. If you really wish to keep horse carts speed at 7 km/h, you should find a way to reduce cargo-icon speed from 10kmh to at least 4 or 5 km/h to make the slow horse carts at least theoretically competitive against them. Without that modification, there is no possible way of making 7km/h horse drawn carts in any way useable.

Even if this is possible to reduce the cargo-icon speed, you should test it thoroughly to see, if the mega-slow speed of cargo-lines early game changes the way the industry functions and what an overall impact of the speed is compared to unmodded game, because of all these arbitrary rules, like 20min max. transportation time and so on.

I understand your point of view though. It’s just not 100% compatible with how the game works i’m afraid. You will have to find a way to fix this issue.
