When one product's storage is full, production for the second product will double.

For example, if the sawmill is full of beams but lacks lumber, delivering a log will result in the production of two pieces of lumber instead of one, with no additional beams being produced.

---

In RRO, most locations, except the Freight Depot, have limited storage capacities. While you will still earn money even if you deliver more than the storage capacity, it's crucial to note that exceeding the limit won't result in additional product generation.

Let's break it down with some examples:

Example 1:
Take the sawmill, for instance. Initially, you can deliver 100 logs, which will be converted into 100 lumber and 100 beams. The pond can store an additional 100 logs, allowing you to deliver a total of 200 logs initially.

Example 2:
The iron mine has a storage capacity of 20 beams and 24 lbs. However, to produce iron ore, you only need 1 beam and 2 lumps, which generate iron ore. Therefore, it's essential to balance your deliveries carefully to avoid delivering too many beams compared to lumber, as this can lead to diminished ore production.

Conclusion
In conclusion, efficient cargo management involves shipping mixed cargoes when needed. This optimisation of cargo space and production chains will maximise your profits and minimise the waste of both time and resources.

If any of the tools recommended here are out of date with no plans to update eg. abandoned ware please let me know.

RailroadsOnline Extended[tom-90.github.io]- provides an in-game minimap, with the ability to remotely control switches and locomotives. In addition, RROx allows you to teleport to various locations and trigger autosaves and even includes some cheats such as flight and fast sprint.

Train Buillder[oaa.app.link] - Allows you to calculate how many wagons you can take based on track grade & Locomotive either click the link for a web based version or scan the QR code for the phone app.

Note from developer: The new locomotives from the Montezuma onwards are not in the app The reason for this is simple, I have not gotten around to updating the app yet. Instead try my Google Sheets Version[docs.google.com]
Please make yourself a copy by going to File>Make a Copy.

Railroad Studio[railroad.studio] Railroad Studio is a static HTML, JavaScript and CSS webpage used to view and modify save files for Railroads Online. including the new beta splines.

This does include the latest locomotives as of release 221103-BETA and should update with new locos as they come out and I add them to the data base without you having to make another copy.

Just a little thank you to people who have helped maintain or provide information over time and have spotted errors or bad edits I made over time.
