Try "Unload and No Loading" orders

I thought of that but the 2nd station will have a negative grade for me as far as Ore is concerned. Also, apart from that, i don't think this behaviour is correct.

The negative rating will time out eventually, if no ore is picked up for a while

The behavior may be undesirable, but it is technically correct.

• Train loads ore at A (because mine in range)
• Train unloads ore at B (because steel mill in range)
• Train loads ore at B (because mine in range)
• Train cannot unload at A (because no steel mill in range)
• Train cannot unload at B (because cargo came from here)

This is how catchment areas work in 1.8.0 (and 1.9.0)

Fixed by #7235.

@Eddi-z I was curious and just tried your suggestion. Unfortunately the unloaded ore was just added in the amount of the already-accumulated Ore in the 2nd station, without it being absorbed by the Steel-Mill.

Yes, the load already on the train will just rot there. but future trips will work correctly now

Sorry, scratch my last. It was probably used by the Steel Mill. The 2nd station though is still accumulating Ore from the Ore mine...

  > * Train loads ore at B (because mine in range)

Here is the problem. Mine is NOT in range of B. if i try to create a new train station or a new airport over the existing ones, i see that the Ore min will NOT be in its range.

• Train cannot unload at B (because cargo came from here)

that part is already fixed with the feature mentioned by @PeterN, it will likely be in 1.10

Basically when you add the airport to the train station, the catchment radius of the airport also applies to the train station tiles. So although the airport isn't within range, and the train station isn't within range, the two combined together are in range.

Ah. OK, now i think i get it. So, in that case, the only way to prevent Ore from accumulating in the 2nd station would have been to instruct Train 1 to NOT load anything from the 2nd station before creating the Airport, right?

If that is the case then there should be a way to "tell" the station not to accumulate resources of a certain type (i.e. Ore) regardless of train orders. Mine is an easy case because the game is rather small but for bigger and more complicated games, "telling" the station what to accept would be more clear and easy to handle.

This is now verging in to feature-request territory, which is better served by our suggestions forum.

Feel free to re-open if you disagree.

Thanks for contributing!

OK, i have transferred the feature-request part here: https://www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=84987

Thanks all for everything.
