Grain Handling Facility help

[normswanwick]

Can someone help me with constructing an operational grain handling facility. I have tried a few silos but cannot find a hopper that will work with them. For instance I like victrainz GEB-VR Geelong Type silo kuid 1854.30622. The asset details state that it has a fully operational discharge shute but I have tried a number of grain hoppers but none of them seem to work. The consist will just pass the silo with no grain loading effect. I have also tried a number of other operational silo's but none work with a variety of hoppers I've tried. Can someone suggest a silo/hopper combination that will work? Many thanks.

Hi Normswanwick
You will need to double check that the hoppers you are using can load the commodity offered by the industry, as it will only load if these match. The easiest way is to make sure the icon shown in the properties window for the industry matches one of the icons shown in the queue of the hopper. You may be able to add the appropriate commodity to the wagon using the big '+' button in a suitable size queue in the wagon as well.

Additionally, from memory this industry requires the train to be stopped for the loading to occur. If you don't stop, then it won't load the wagons (these older type silos were fairly basic, dating back to the 40s with short wheelbase 4 wheel wagons, so it was fairly realistic!).
