Power plant consumption

Hello everyone, ever since I started a new game the power plants show a consumption of 0/0/x, hence I can not transport goods there. Any suggestions on how to fix that?
I added a screenshot for illustration purposes:

Hi Jimmy, not quite sure what you mean by "can't transport goods there". 0/0/x means the plant has 0 in store, 0 is on the way, and can store up to x. As 0 is less than x, you should be able to transport the resources to it - given the factory that you're trying to take the goods from is actually has an industry link to the power plant (check the suppliers list in the power plant's info box).
Life is like a Simutrans transformer:

You only get one of them, and you can't have it on a slope.

I think we might need more screenshots of your stations setups and/or a saved game.

Setting up freight lines is often confusing for beginners. Here are the rules that you have to check so your line can work:


Considering two factories A and B, you want to transport goods from A to B.

Conditions on the factories:
_ A must be supplier of B (you see a link to B in the window of A and vice-versa)
_ If your line has already worked in the past, check that B is not already full of the good you want to transport (in B's window, numbers x/_/y are displayed for this good with x > y)

Conditions on player's line, assuming a direct connection between the two factories:
_ Station A and B must accept goods (in a station's window, just under the field with the name of the station, you see the goods'logo. In pak64 and pak128, it looks like a small pile of dirt) You can make a station accept goods by adding any station building (platform/stop/extension like a warehouse/...) which accepts goods.
_ You have at least one convoy running (out of the depot) which can load the goods you want to transport (bulk vehicles for coal for example). The type of vehicles you have to use is specified in the factories'windows.

If you have a indirect connection between the two factories, ensure that all stations on the way can accept goods and that each line can transport the goods just as explained above.
