1st screen: certainly blocking
2nd: Not blocking but station spreading. While using 1 or 2 platforms to overcome height differences where you can not terraform is accepable this is a bit much imo. I would advise to be a bit more creative than that :)

Title: Station glitch?
Post by: sherc on December 12, 2013, 04:21:14 pm
Hey, I tend not to open new topics if it's not necessary so I decided to ask in here.

Anyways... I've noticed a problem with road stations when playing online. I've set my mail truck to full load mail at the transfer railstation and take the mail to a road station in the centre of a town. It all works as it should, to a certain point. All of a sudden the truck doesn't unload anymore, even though the station still accepts mail. I've noticed this couple of times, also with passengers.

The way i usually solve the problem is by ploping down a new station, send truck there and it works ... again till a certain point. Then again, all of a sudden the truck won't unload and I have to repeat the process...

What seems to be the problem?

hi :)

it's not a station glitch. I guess it happens because the transfer railstation don't accept mail and if you don't set "unload all and leave empty" in the road station in the centre of a town will get a point trucks are travelling always full. And ofc, they don't unload the cargo in the same station.

tell me if it helps/helped :)

I knew this was the right place to ask question :D

You were absolutely right, it solved my problem. I just sent them to the station where they unloaded mail but they also loaded it when the station became bigger, so they were always full and couldn't deliver :)

Thanks for your help !
