It appears your cities can only grow so big. I was hoping to get some cities so big that they blended with their neighboring cities.
Does anybody know if that's possible?

Also, how can you tell exactly how many of whatever resource a particular city is demanding, actually needs?
If city A requires food, how do I know to send it one carload or eight?

You might be able to get them larger by playing with the RRT_Cities file. That controls the number of buildings.

As far as how much of what, just pack it in there, They'll take all you can give them.

There's no limit; they'll buy as much as you want to ship.

In theory the more you ship the less you earn *per-car*, but I've never seen this to be an issue; ship as much as your trains can haul!


... oh, I see your other thread - your cities will end up consuming everything you deliver over time - I'll mention more in the other thread.
