Making a particular industy (steel Mill)

[skyedog2012]

Hi
I am not sure if I am putting this in the right area. I am looking to make a Steel mill that will accept coal and iron ore on one side of the mill and manufacture the various forms of steel (rod or plate) the other side. I have no Idea of how to make this type of industry or to make any asset of this type. It word be the same Idea as the Hyde Pulp Mill (kuid:117140:27007) that is on trainz at the moment.With a slight difference that you can set the proportions of each resource for the input ( 4 trucks of coal and 8 trucks of iron) to produce 10 bars of steel on the output. Altough the industry set out would be much larger than the pulp mill. For those that have played Atari,Chris Sawyers version of Locomotion would know whayt I am talking about as an example.

Also does anyone know if the is a detailed manual or instruction anywhere that shows how to make assets from scratch. I am interested in knowing how to make my own assets.

Thanks skyedog2012(Paul)

If you are using existing assets then all you need to do is use a LARS Aggregate and LARS industrail. Place them in the mill and set them up with what you need them to do.

ProtoLars is another good asset to use.Because they will load/unload cars just setting on them.
They can also be set up to where so much coal delivered will produce x amount of steel bars. With these no coal no steel bars.
They will load 1 steel bar on a car at a time or 2-5 are all at once. Also load/unload one car at a time,all at once,or you can set them to load/unload one car every hour ect,ect. These ProtoLars you can change them to do what every you want. I made a lot of them for my Protype Route and they are on the DLS.
