supply TF issues ~no cannonfodder please~

Babes C scenario
I cant figure out why is it when I create a transport TF to load supplies at Hiroshima,it will load only around 10% of the load before heading off to the destination.
See pic...some boats have a mere 7 supplies loaded when it takes to sea. I have to turn the TF around and head back to load some more.

odd, looks like it's overloaded by the amount shown loaded...
have you tried to disband, reconstruct the TF and load again?
I have had one or two situations where transports loading at
Mare Island or Stockton go into forever loading. I disbanded
it after unloading, moved them to SF and everything straightened
out.

May want to package up a save and show Michaelm.

A few notions:

- the TF is set as Transport, rather than cargo. Did it completely unload from its last mission? If it was Amphib loaded and you did not completely unload, it will not switch to cargo loading.

- I think there can be issues if the base you are loading from lacks the supplies needed. A TF will sit idle waiting for stuff to happen for only a turn or two before leaving. The strange cargo total makes me think that it is not a lack of supply problem.

- the TF is huge - I doubt 75 ships can dock, even at Hiroshima, so loading may be an issue.

UPDATE: and solution I guess...
So after I moved the TF back to Hiroshima and started loading again it did the same thing...it loaded around 26k supplies and labeled the TF as loading complete. So what I believe was happening was the TF was getting loaded with ALL of the supply at Hiroshima then getting cuttoff as complete. The next turn I adjusted the supply level there to max and that seems to have solved the issue as the TF is continuously loading now.
So even finding the solution I dont think this is working as designed. I load from many locations and the TF will always stay in a loading state even when it has sucked the base dry...not sure why Hiroshima wants them to get the hell outta there but oh well...

Is stockpile set for supply at Hiroshima?

maybe it knows what's coming.......



My initial thoughts were maybe not enough supply at the base to load up 75 ships at 3.5k apiece.
Then again, normally a TF will just sit there at the port waiting forever for a full load.
Never seen one bug out before.

ouch!

I retract that solution. The TF will load 25k approx in supplies and consider itself finished. I had to split the TF into two smaller ones cause Singers is starving...cant wait
