Vehicles are only selled, if empty and if they have stopped at an halt. So convoys without a halt in the schedule won't get selled. And empty convoys drive on, until they reach a station.

THis is the intention of the withdraw button. Maybe additional an additional return home button that add one depot into all their schedules would be helpful too?

I don't think, this is helpful. Then you have to search your convoys in depots over the whole map.

I rather would move the 'withdraw code' from convoi_t::laden to an other position. Maybe a new function convoi_t::check_withdraw and call this function directly in convoi_t::step?

If you have a coal line, e.g., roughly one half of all convoys in this line are empty and thus can be sold immediately.

Or just add the first check to set_withdraw() in convoi ...

But I would add only one depot, the one closes to the first stop for a return all button.

Then you will get trouble with choose signs.

Why: It will be introduced into all convois individual schedule. Then the convoi will get there (depot) next. Why should choose signs be important?

The whole point in withdrawing a vehicle is that it would wait until the next station and it was empty. This way no goods or passengers are lost. Is it really that much of an issue that empty convoys go on - couldn't you just sell them directly instead?

They are already sold directly. I was just asking, why he dislike the return all (and put them in a single depot) option. This should be added too, to allow as much game styles as possible.

Ok, then I misunderstood you. If it is inserted in all schedules at the same position, then if works fine.
