Is there a way to add loads to a whole train instead of having to do it individually

[Amtrakguy365]

I was wondering, is there a way to add loads to entire consist instead of having to add a load to each car individually? In my opinion, making long intermodal trains and having to add a container to each well car is annoying. Is there a way in surveyor to do this?

If you are running TS2010 or TS12, which I can't tell because I don't see anything listed in your station list next to your name, you can use a command called Instant Load. This will automatically load up the train cars with the first load in their products queue. For containers this is perfect.

I add this to my driver commands for portal drivers so they will have full trains coming out of the portals.

Oh, that's neat. I have TS12. Reason it doesn't show is, back in 2012 when I tried to boot up TS12 for the first time on my computer, it didn't run. I had an Auran account with a verified version of TS12. I abandoned the game and didn't find it until I made this account. I couldn't remember if I had an account, so I made a new one. I found my TS12 and downloaded it onto my new PC and it worked. I can't use the same verification number on this account. Thus, the reason TS12 doesn't show

Your account issue is easily solved. Contact the help desk and they will merge your old and new accounts together. Just tell them which account you want to keep.

For the loads, make sure you put this command in as the very first command in the driver command-list before the AI driver take off on his route.

Another one you might be interested is the Instant Unload which is the companion to the Instant Load.

Just FYI. Instant load doesn't specifically load the first item in the list. It loads random items from the entire list of a available products the car has listed in the config.

There are 2, instant load and instant load 12, the first one loads the first commodity in the queue and the second one loads a random commodity. Unfortunately they both show up as instant load in driver.

It depends if you have one checked or both. You can edit which commands you want to show up in driver by ticking or unticking the commands:

And now, for something completely different:

In the properties window of a wagon there is a white circle with three cars and a red arrow. Clicking this circle causes all compatible cars to be loaded with the selected commodity.

Yeppers. You are right. I wonder how many people don't know this! LOL!

This is why I was a bit confused. I've only used the second version and not the other, thinking the new one is an update for TS12.
