Anyone know what the quality value means on resource deposits? I've a coal mine feeding my power plant with a value of 14%, so I'm reasonably sure it's pretty much peat, but I have no idea what that means in game terms.

There is an added complication with Coal or Iron mines as you'd also have to take into account the amount of workers in there at any time (good luck with ever getting 500 people in).

my man, have you heard of our lord and savior the train station

I'm pretty sure the only reason i can run a power plant and steel mill off of basically lignite is because I have a town of nearly 2000 people specifically to throw workers at it, and that's only possible by shipping them in hundreds at a time by train. I pretty much use trams as EMUs and chain them together 2 or 3 at a time.

You can run footpaths pretty much anywhere, so as long as the total distance to the mine is less than 300m you can get dudes in there by train (or bus, but trains scale better).

On the other hand trucks clog the roads and use gas.
