- Resolved - No external deliveries ...?

[Arayas]

The problem is simple. The GPS is not making a route if a node is not connected. You can test this by spawning AI traffic. If it dissapear at one node, thats it.

Hello

This morning, I do a new test:
1 - I create a new city nammed: TEST
2- I place it on the map: city, .sii, ... etc
3- I place on it a Bartoland road connected to the mainland, a company and a ferry (.sii and .sui ... etc)
4- I play .... I compile and I test .... I have inbound and outbound deliveries ...

5- I go back to the editor, I delete the road that joins the continent (but I leave one on the island (N = Bartoland)
6- I compile and I test ....
7- my ferries are active ... but I have NO more deliveries ....

What can I do ?

Damn, you are systematic, I like that! As I said earlier, it seems as if the ferry connection isn't working correctly.
You say you have the /def/ferry.sii with the include of the ferry definition file for this specific connection in the
/def/ferry/PORT-CITY.sui file. How about the bidirectional CONNECTION definitions in the /def/ferry/connection
folder? Are they defined properly too? Can you put each of these 4 files' content into a code segment tag here in a
post, so that we can see all together, but separate. The button to insert into code tag looks like </>!

EDIT: Please, also when in-game take a screenshot to show the ferry connection line, if there!

do you see the dotted line between your 2 ferry points (in game)?
your companies are inside city limits?
AI traffic runs all the way on all roads?
Did you runned "validate connections" from the editor/map menu?

[bartofer]

I understand that on my island, there could be a problem, given its size ...
but there is the same concern on the "test" mini town ..
the ferries are active (I tested them),
but no deliveries ....

@Arayas

When I do "Validate connections", I have no errors in the sector concerned ...
3 Companies are inside the island, in the city zone
Apparently, there are vehicles on all the roads .. .

Well, it's more complicated than it seems .... let me explain:
On my map, I have a city "Pandora", which has existed for several months,
and which is functional, on which we can access by road or by ferry, ferry which works great.
Pandora is declared "Bartoland" in N ... I just split the road that leads to Pandora, to check if it still accepts deliveries .....
and of course, with only the ferry, NO more deliveries possible .. ..
The problem does not come from my island, but from the "ferry" command which does not work ...

I do not know where to look ....

HHHEEELLLPPPPPP..............................................................

how do you test if are deliveries or not? Make element 5 your city, start a new career and see if you have deliveries from there to the main land
do you have ferry entrance checked on ferry prefab? Does your ferry is INSIDE city?

@bartofer

Okay, thanks for all the info! All the definitions looks OK and you also have the ferry lines when in-game.
I really haven't got more to add then, only ask the others to tell if this can be a economy problem, most
often it takes some time before the economy is correct. Sometimes people are doing economy-reset. I've
seen! Or do I miss something in the ferry definitions in that picture?

[bartofer]

When I go into the freight deals none are entering or leaving the island they are internal OR external ...

The ferries work great both ways ... and yes they are inside cities ..

I have just created a starting garage on my island, I made a new profile and several trips to validate the distances,

but nothing helps, still no external deliveries

[Arayas]

i'll stick with my first ideea, you have something not connected somewhere
