Openttd transfer1/13/2024 ![]() ![]() SDH is the station where all ICE trains go to and that will be the station that will receive the passengers from the feeder trains. Note that there are 4 station in this ring and the trains can drive both directions, the orders of the trains driving clock-wise will be explained in this section. You have the following setup in a town which feeds a central station with passengers as in the picture to the right. This order can be assigned by clicking both the transfer button and the unload button. Transfer and leave empty - this will unload all cargo on the train just like the unload order, this order however gets the train "virtual" money (the yellow money).This order can be assigned by clicking both the transfer button and the full load button. This order is simular to the full load order. Transfer and wait for full load - this allows the train to keep its current cargo and it will wait until the train is fully loaded too.This order can be asigned by clicking the transfer button while you have an order selected. Transfer and take cargo - the default transfer order, this order lets the train keeps its current cargo and also take the cargo that is at the station with it.Remember that there are 3 kinds of transfer orders: This is extremely usefull for making feeders. Transfer orders use virtual money this means that trains earn money so they don't show up as a train making a loss but the money won't be added to the bank balance. This kind of orders allow trains to keep cargo in the train and allow trains to unload all cargo at a station without loosing money. When building multiple stations that are meant to be serviced by one train (or multiple trains sharing orders) you might need to use transfer orders. Notice that there is no unload order as the station accepts coal because there is a powerplant. It will then go to Bredbourne Cross Woods to unload all the coal at the powerplant. These orders mean that the train will go to Slenningville Mines and wait until it is fully loaded with coal before it leaves. When the full load orders are given to the train in the previous example: This is very usefull as there won't be half full trains driving around. The full load order allows you to force a train to wait until one cargo type is fully loaded. The full load order will be explained first, the transfer orders will be discussed later on this page. Unload - this makes the train drop all its cargo at a station, it doesn't matter if the station accepts the cargo or not.Full load - this makes the train wait at the station until it is fully loaded with one type of cargo and then it will leave the station and head for the next order.There are a few different kind of load orders: A load order is an order that tells the train to do a specific kind of loading. You now have given the train both the destinations, to let this route be effective however you need load orders. We usually begin the orders with the pickup station: The first thing you need to do is add the both the stations to the order list. You have build two stations and now you want to have a train running between them. This guide will lead you through the basics of giving orders and will also show you some more advanced orders. Without proper order setup the trains won't go to the correct destination and won't be able to make money. The freight carts for sand and coal are shared (bulk goods), so I can't just make a train with 2 types of carts.Orders make our networks work, they are what keeps our network alive, the cash flowing and prevent jams. It does seem to always get both in one trip, but the amounts seem a bit random. Sometimes there is a ton of sand stored at the glass smelter and it keeps waiting for coal, and vice versa. The second train seems to grab random amounts of coal & sand. With sand being "consolidated" with the coal at the coal mine. Another train (twice as big) brings coal and sand to a glass smelter.The middle station is one single station, with two unconnected platforms.The middle station is right next to a coal mine.A train from a sand pit brings sand to a station in the middle of the route over a single rail.most of the snfos mlm-maglev & subway station stuff)Īfter setting up some passenger buslines, I have built a very simple (and profitable ) freight train system: ![]()
