Industries demanding "0" loads

[Altoona+BeachCreek]

I must be missing something. What does this mean and what advantages does it have over the standard demands?

[nedfumpkin]

0 means that it requires between 0.1 and 0.5 loads of that commodity. The game won't show decimals on industries.

Edit...the supply chain guide tells you precisely what is required.

That's what I thought! Thanks for clearing it up.

Just another revival of a recent question (aug 2012 -ha!) but it's a question that I have recently raised.
I thought that the min load was 0.6 but ned's post says that the train will load as little as 0.1 load.
Not very profitable but if you gotta join two cities at whatever cost... Is there any new news about this?

Trains still require .6 of a load to fill a car and leave the station. However, an industry's demand/requirement can be as small as 0.1 of a load.

[cheminot]

That means that a train load can get away with a 0.1 load?

[Wolverine@MSU]

No, as Blackhawk said "Trains still require .6 of a load to fill a car and leave the station." So if you deliver one of these loads to a place that demands 0.1 loads/year, it will supply that demand for 6 years (minus the rot factor).

Ah... That seems to make sense besides being sensible
