Freight Platform

Solid =

Fluid =

A Freight Platform is a building on the Railway where Freight Cars can be loaded or unloaded, based on the setting of each Freight Platform.

It only consumes power when loading or unloading. It has to be attached to a Train Station to work and only snaps to it (alongside other platforms). It has 2 inputs and 2 outputs and the size of an Industrial Storage Container (24 slots) for Solid Freight Platforms, or 500 m3 for Fluid Freight Platforms.

Loading and unloading
The loading/unloading animation takes 25 seconds. There is a specific animation for every possible situation:


 * Loading:
 * Loading any amount of items onto an empty Freight Car
 * Loading any amount of items onto a partially filled Freight Car
 * Unloading:
 * Fully unloading a Freight Car
 * Partially unloading a Freight Car
