Ok, so we have purchased two horses and now we want to use them to
transport tree trunks. But first we need to create a schedule.

Schedule
Create a schedule to determine a transport route. Without a schedule, the
vehicle would simply stand around uselessly in the depot.

Create a Schedule
Create a schedule by clicking on the „Schedule“ button. Select the
desired means of transportation.

train station). In this case you can leave out this step - the means of trans-
portation has already been determined through the terminal selection.

On the right side of the schedule you can see which vehicles are available
and waiting in the vehicle depot (i.e. not included in a schedule yet).

Multiple Traction
One vehicle alone cannot pull the required load? Well, in this case certain
vehicles offer the possibility to couple several vehicles one after another.
We call this multiple traction.

In our example, a horse would not be strong enough. So we‘ll simply deploy
two horses in a harnessed team.

Destinations in the Schedule
The required vehicles have been deployed. Now we have to tell the vehicles
which stops they are supposed to make on the route.

Click on the train station next to the woodcutter store. This train station is
where the route is supposed to start. And the vehicles will always return
to this train station.
Of course, one train station as a destination is not really enough for a func-
tioning route. You‘ll need at least two destinations.

Click on the desired track if you have train stations with several tracks. If
there is only one existing connection between two destinations in the first
place, the game will then automatically select the correct tracks.

So now let‘s click on the second train station, the one near the sawmill.
We want the horse train to bring the tree trunks from the woodcutter store
to the sawmill.

Change Vehicle Route
You have surely already noticed that the vehicle route between one desti-
nation and the next is represented by a red line.
This has practically no meaning in our simple example with only one track
between two stations.

However, the more complex your transport network gets, especially when
you start including switches, the more we recommend you to keep an eye
on the route-display.
Beachten Sie bitte, dass immer nur der Weg vom gewählten Ziel zur
nächsten Station angezeigt wird. Sie sehen also niemals die komplette
Route.

Unsere Pferde wissen jetzt also, welchen Weg sie nehmen sollen. Aber wir
müssen noch festlegen, welche Produkte Sie transportieren sollen. Denn
nur so zum Spaß wollen wir sie natürlich nicht auf den Weg schicken.
