Two questions: 1) Overylay to see logical pts lost to action pts 2)Small yellow numbers on roads

Post by Mathieas »

I was wondering if there was an easier way, then using the traffic sign interface, to quickly see how many logical pts were lost due to lack of action pts? This would allow a player to quickly figure out if you need A) a better roads B) a Rail or C) simply more supply?

Also, any idea what the secondary yellow numbers are next to the logical pts on the roads when looking at the different logical overlays? I would be happy to provide a screen shot if needed when i get home.

Use preview mode:

Every single time a road loses logistics points (without there having been a split off road!) it is due to lack of truck AP.
Always.
There is absolutely no way logistics points (in preview) can go down on a road without sideroads ever if not due to Truck AP.

Hi there Godwin,

Thank you for the reply. This makes sense to me at the surface but if you had say 4 smaller sources dropping vs just one bigger one. I feel preview does not show this quickly.

Or perhaps we need a overlay that allows us to see a list selectable single/multiple source on the map and its capacity along its path with color codes for intersections of loss.


Cheers,

On the right hand, under Zone Log. Assets, you can select Truck and Supply Stations :)

Hi there Godwin,

I may be blind but I cannot find it...i do not see a zone log on the right hand side. Unless you are talking about inside the traffic signs interface?

I think that just means that the road between two hexes has less logistical points than either of the hexes it connects to. You're probably starting to see it when you have multiple truck stations. It's a bit of a warning sign that lets you know that this road might become a bottleneck in your logistical network.
