![]() ![]() As a result, each of the road vehicles has to pay 7 pounds. It computes the exact payment (about 711 pounds) for delivering the cargo from the coal mine directly to the power plant, deducts the already given 732 pounds, and comes up 21 pounds short. Here, the game detects that the coal is being delivered to its final destination. Next, three road vehicles take the coal, and deliver it to the power plant at station C. It finds that 732 British pound is a fair amount, and assigns that to the train as virtual money. When the train arrives at station B and transfers the coal, the game makes an estimate of how much you should get paid. The game does not know where coal loaded into the train is going. You get fined for slower delivery from source to destination. You get paid by the straight distance from source (the coal mine) to destination (the power plant), and The payment for all delivered cargo no matter how it gets to its destination is done by a fixed rule (see for all the detail on the game mechanics page). This time the train will have a positive income, however the road vehicles exhibit a negative income. Now the train has the order to transfer at B. Take care that the train should also have no loading set (for versions 0.7 and higher), otherwise, it will load the just unloaded coal back into the wagons, and bring it back to the coal mine (and you will not get paid for your efforts). Thus the income of the train will be negative, unless it has another income along the way. The road vehicles from B to C will get all the profit upon delivery at C. When the train has the order to unload at B then it won't be paid. However this is needed to show the point.īoth cases are differentiated by the way the cargo is exchanged at the intermediate station B. It would have been much easier and faster to deliver the coal in a straight line by moving station B to the place of station C. ![]() Admittedly the example is a pretty stupid way of delivering coal. The first part of the journey is done with a train, the second part by road vehicles. The service transports coal from the mine at station A at the bottom left, through an intermediate station B, to the power plant at the top right using station C. A feeder service from a coal mine to a power plant.Ĭonsider the picture as the example network. ![]()
