You ' re talking about the same species that purveys canned lion hunting , right ? 90 % of readers on this are imagining a can of lion . . Don ' t lie , both of you . <| sep |> I feel honesty is a cornerstone of a relationship , so omissions may be deal killers . <| sep |> It ' s not about transfer speed , it just has some internal storage that it will keep , depending on its level . Transfer will be faster when production is faster . What you ' re seeing is how fast it ' s actually producing for you . The refinery also won ' t burst produce that much , so just go back for more crude oil and it ' ll probably be done with the previous load by then . If it ' s not producing enough to fill your train , you need to either put more trains to improve the line frequency , or improve the distribution further down the chain . The game is pretty clever , at least trying to be , and will scour your network to find the bottleneck . The industry will then produce accordingly . Take a look at the train line ' s frequency . That ' s how often it ' s capable of dropping off as much as it can carry . Can your cartstrucks handle the same load ? Is the town even interested in this much ?
