Train station priority

Trains

Issue description

I am having an issue where trains are are sometimes ignoring a particular station in a network.

I have several station set to receive diesel; I've recently had one go empty, so I changed the priority on that station from 10 to 9. However, the next train to collect diesel from the refinery station did not deliver to station with priority 9; it was going to one of the other stations. When I cleared the active task, it simply selected another station. Only when I removed all of the other stations receiving diesel from the network entirely did it select the correct station.

Reproduction steps

I don't know how to trigger it.

I have seen it for the 'Main waiting bay refueling" station and for the "Forestry / Gold refueling" station.

When it became empty, I upped the priority to get the next train to go there to refill it, but that didn't happen. Instead, the next train seemed to want to go anywhere else.

Thanks for the report, train-station capacity match is winning over priority in your case.
We'll have to look into it since this is not a bug fix per se but a behavior change of the network system.
