I was trying this out for the first time and have read the tutorial. I set it up to consume coal so that I could empty some waggons.
However though the waggons empty and the commodity levels rise the level does not fall off over time so that I can empty in more waggons. It gets to the stage where the Industry can take no more.
Here is how I set it up.
Queue1 1000000
Coal
Tonnes 1 tonnes (1000 units)
Tracks
Coal Mode Unload from vehicle
Queue queue1
Processes
Duration 1
Coal
Consume 1000 tonnes ( 1162790 units)
Queue queue1
Products
Coal Vehicle ---
Load Size 53 Tonnes ( 60500 units)
Tonnes
The waggon I am using is NSWGR NOD loaded
Coal 60500
Looking at View details at start of operation
able to operate
Commodity Levels
Coal 1 X --- (1 tonnes)
After Emptied three waggons into the Industry
Commodity Levels
Coal 4 X --- ( 157 tonnes)
Now comes the crunch even after 6 minutes there is no change in the Commodity level. The total does not reduce to leave room for the next coal consist. I realise these settings are not typical but I wanted it cleared out quickly.
What am I doing wrong? I thought it was set to consume 1000 tonnes in one minute. ( Processes setting)
Thanks for any help.
