"Texas Tea Fields" for the oil area?

[@ladamyre1]

Tip for your oil tank farm setting: "Fill" will insure they only export oil off-map if the pyrolysis plant is full and not sending trucks to get oil, but it will call for imported oil the second a pyrolysis plant truck leaves with oil. This will cause the tank farm to be importing oil almost all of the time, while at the same time a lot of your oil pump trucks will be exporting oil! This will be cutting or eliminating profits. "Balanced" will cause the tank farm to call for imported oil when it gets below about 30%, but there will always be oil there for the pyrolysis plant trucks to get. This is the best setting as long as you produce enough oil to keep up with pyrolysis plant demand. "Empty" will cause the tank farm trucks to always export oil until it runs out of trucks, only then will it have oil for the pyrolysis plant trucks to get.

The oil area could be Texas Tea, from the 1960s sitcom Beverly Hillbillies, it was in the introduction to every episode.

[@bobblebardsley]

12:28 I feel like the T-junction by the toll booth is creating a weird-shaped bottleneck. You've got space there to bring that red north-south road from the top of the screen and extend it south to connect with the main road all the traffic wants to get to. It would create one fast through-road and I'm sure you could still have junctions/off-ramps for cars wanting to get on to the slower roads and access the festival area via the toll booth.

[@Sqtgdog]

Industry logistics is broken. I've fought with this constantly. It seems to prioritize exports over internal use, with seemingly no toggle.

[@Mrcool202]

Hello Biffa - I have an idea for a quick build... See if you like it... At the location of oil industry, there is a lake/pond. It might be kind of cool to build a worker's barracks close by and have a walking path to/from and around the pond. Maybe add a fishing pier or other park features for water. This might be a way to get more workers into your industry area???

[@Chromatomic]

I've been trying to figure out the industries because I keep getting scenarios where I have multiple completely full raw storage containers and refineries that don't have enough raw materials. One explanation I saw was that if there's not enough trucks it puts out an import call and then has to wait for the import to arrive before it can accept any more local deliveries. Uh yeah. Definitely trying the transfer mod out now.

[@WestOfEarth]

You've probably noticed these behaviors too, but I've found using one way roads in a large circuit can work fairly well. I put all my storage at the end of the circuit near the exit. I set their functionality to Empty, never to Fill or Balanced as these two will cause the storage to import raw materials. I also place warehouses near the industry set to the area's processed goods (planed timber, plastics, etc) and select balanced. Warehouses set in this manner never make an import call. This way the processor trucks are close enough to return quickly. And with the extractors preceding the processors in the circuit, there's almost always a local delivery at hand for the processor, while being on the one-way circuit ensures the trucks are passing by. This will almost always eliminate a process call to import, or have a very small sliver on the pie chart. Add enough extractors in this circuit to provide a continuous flow, but not too many to gum up the traffic. Placing storage before a processor will simply divert extractor trucks to dump their resources so they won't deliver to the processor until the storage is full, causing the processor to make an import call. And I never put storage into balanced or Fill mode (unless I have absolutely zero extraction zones) as these modes will make import calls, costing you money. Finally, I've gone the further step of zoning residential near extraction districts with the city policy of "Schools Out" to ensure plenty of appropriately skilled (as in uneducated) workers. Insufficient workers can, as one might expect, also slow down local deliveries which produces more import calls. Perhaps you and others have tried this approach and it hasn't worked. But for me it has. I continue to experiment for optimal logistics (oh, and the Industry policy of 'Logistics' is nice to increase the chance that an extractor has resources when a processor puts out a call for resources).

If you place the oil plant before the storage the plant will immediately request product to be imported meaning there's no requirement, since it's "on order". I'd suggest putting down storage and when there's some in there place the plants down and everything should be good.
