Loading and departure settings in Transport Fever 3

Quick facts

Documented answer

Stop configuration controls cargo load percentages and departure behavior. Load if available, Full load any and Full load all serve different purposes; in the vanilla game, separate compartments matter for trains and ships. ↗

Procedure

Open the stop configuration and select the cargo and percentage needed for that leg. Choose departure behavior that matches actual supply, then inspect a vehicle while it loads. Read the loading modifier breakdown and verify that the platform fits the train or tram.

Diagnose the result

If a vehicle waits after receiving some cargo, inspect Full Load and the configured percentages. If handling is slow, inspect specialization and platform length. For vehicles without separate cargo compartments, do not assume any and all create distinct multi-cargo behavior.

Common mistake

Using Full load all on a service whose requested cargo cannot all be supplied at that stop.
