General OpenTTD • Re: Prodcution increasements at primary industries not equal?

it depends on station rating, you should keep station rating at min. 70% all the time. station rating limits how much industry "transported" percentage can go up. it can never go above station rating.

so if rating is 75% then transported percentage is capped at 75% max as well.

Now transported percentage determines whether industry will grow, it transported is above 60% then industry will grow on average, if it's below it will decline.

To keep station rating high you want frequent cargo pickups, that means full load is not a good option because it mean less transportation. In the beginning this means less operating profit because you'll need more shorter trains vs less long trains.
