Coal Mine Basic

[stouthm]

This is driving me nuts and I don't have that far to go. I cannot get this mine to replenish itself. Once the initial amount is gone that's all she wrote. Is there a known problem that I'm not aware of ? Yes, it's old but it's on the Clinchfield Route that I'm updating for my own personal use. I have the settings set for maximum initial coal and using 200000 every minute. Any suggestions?

Have you topped up the fuel used to run the mine? No fuel and the trucks cant work to get the coal out. The mine wont use 200000 it can only produce. It will use fuel.

stagecoach - thanks for the suggestion but that didn't work. While watching the mine to see if that would work I noticed that the truck made one pass and then on the second pass it never made it back to the mine entrance, it just disappeared half way there. That may be my problem.

I think I'm going to replace that mine with another one, been fooling around with this way to long. Thanks again.

Did you reduce the consume rate? If you set the consume to 200000 then you have a very thirsty truck and would not travel very far. Would suggest you replace the mine with the default set up. Then leave the rate as it is but only increase the start amount for both fuel and coal.

I will fool around with this later. I want to move on to someting else. I've had enough with that mine for now. Thanks.

I set my mine to product max Coal, initial I set that to max, set diesel fuel to consume 1000 and set the initial to 35000. It work for me with these setting.
