It depends on how quickly you can fill the train.cinnamon wrote: Tue Apr 07, 2026 9:13 pm Is a big train with 5 resources better than 5 trains with 1 resource? this mostly regards the time that the big train has to gather resources from each section
If you can fill 5 cars as fast as 1 car, then you're getting 5 times as many resources over time.
If it takes you 5 times as long, then you're getting the same amount of resources, but you're also only getting them 1/5 as often as before.
Personally, I prefer 1 locomotive, 1 cargo wagon (or 1 fluid wagon), for fast filling and low-latency delivery, but a lot of people run longer trains.
