vehicles not picking up good's?

[sgtsammac]

Hi guys I am new but I have played for a long time, but I am starting to get annoyed now this has affected me on pak128. Britain and on pak64 and what's happening is that my vehicles won't pick-up goods from depots for example my oil tankers won't pick up from the oil rigs, why is this? and how can I fix it?

[Combuijs]

1) Is the oilrig enabled for goods? (I think it is automatically, you will find a small goods icon in the station info window.
2) Goods have a destination. Do the oil tankers bring them directly or indirectly to that destination? There should be a complete connection to the destination before any transport takes place.
3) Is the destination enabled for goods?
4) Does the destination need oil? If there is more oil than the maximum storage capacity no oil will be produced on the oilrig.

1/3-Well I haven't changed any settings so that's why i don't know what's going on, 2-and i normally build a large storage depot on the coast so I guess it is indirectly because i would transfer it to tanker trucks, 4-I normally get the destination after setting up the initial link from tanker to harbour. I will try to get screen shot soon.

Edit ok some work some don't, so if i find a broken one i will ignore it.

(2) means that producers and consumers (factories) have contracts. You can only serve routes for which contracts exist. You can't transport goods just anywhere (you get none unless the destination has a contract with the producer).

Edit: If there are intermediate stops, you get goods only as as soon as you service the whole route.

^I know that bit and i follow that but that is not the problem it is my vehicles in a lot of cases are not actually picking up anything and will not leave the cargo bay of the producing factory.

Good news, i found that it will let me transport passengers and mail only but it is better than nothing.

Be sure that you have the right types of trucks.  I remember being really frustrated in a similar situation, only to find out that I had fluid food train cars, not oil/gas ones.

Yea i did that, but its fixed its self

Does anyone know how to get fish from the fishery in pak128?

[VS]

With a fishing boat - there should be some?

As fish are cooled food, there is a slight problem when you can send in fact a cooled container ship to get some fish, too... This actually helps, since you can use more types of vessels.

I have a Fish trawler on a schedule to pick up fish, but it never does. Im pretty sure I have vechiles in the catchment area because when I sent the boat out three bars representing different freights were displayed above the fishery
