Description
[edit | edit source]"A loading building for Mineral goods. Can only load hoppers, but does so quickly and while wagons are moving slowly."
The Mineral Loader is a building used to quickly load aggregates. The Mineral Loader is only compatible with 14 Ton Open Wagons, 16 Ton Hopper Wagons, and 20 Ton Hopper Wagons. To use the Mineral Loader, the player must first create a Load Order at the industry platform. Once a Load Order is created, the player may then pull a line of compatible wagons underneath the Loader. The Mineral Loader will then automatically and rapidly fill the hopper wagons to capacity until it either runs out of materials to load, or the Load Order is completed. The Mineral Loader will only load wagons that are moving slowly (about 10 mph max).
While the Mineral Loader has a steep upfront cost of $15000, it can save the player a significant amount of time loading long trains. Since time is money and loading trains can be a laborious and time-consuming process, it can be a worthwhile long-term investment.
