Industry rate

[samsonrichard]

How can I change the industry consumption/production rate. eg a forest industry minimum production rate is 1 log per minute. I want to make this less eg 1 log every 10 minutes. Bear in mind I am not a programmer, if you can help please keep it simple.

Hi,

In the Properties window of the industry, you can change the rate at which the industry produces or consumes products. I don't think you can go down as low as you want, even with scripting.

From memory, industries usually work in minutes, or 30 seconds I have seen.

The ProtoLARS industries will give you a lot more options including increasing the time it takes to consume/produce products. This might enable you to move towards the time/unit numbers you're wanting.

Cheers,

The protoLARS track is available on DLS.
Further support and PL tracks can be found HERE (http://www.trainzproroutes.org/forum/) and HERE (http://www.trainzproroutes.com/downloads/) You might have to register.(free)

Also do a search in the forum, find Philskenes posts, he uses, and knows alot about them.

You can change the time period for processes in the config.txt file. Built-in assets should be cloned so that the original asset remains unchanged.

processes {
tree_lopping {
start-enabled 1
duration 30 <== time period is set here in seconds
outputs {
0 {
amount 1
queue "logs_out"
}
}
}
}
