OpenTTD Loading & Unloading times
I'm trying to calculate the time for a train to load at a station.
This website
states that a full load and unload cycle takes (capacity * 2 / load_amount) days
So a full load would be (capacity / load_amount)
It also states that a "load amount" is loaded in these times:
- Trains: 40 ticks
- RV: 20 ticks
- Ships: 10 ticks
- Aircraft: 20 ticks
Using these formulas, for a monorail train with 108 passenger carriages (5076 passengers) and 10 mail carriages (370 bags of mail), it would take 5446/40 days = 136 days.
(Note: The train is on a station length 64, and the train is length 60)
However, the train actually only takes around 10 days to fully load, very different to the calculated value.
So my overall question: What is the correct formula to use to calculate load times?
