How do trains choose between mixed fuel types?

Post by reduke »

I have read that it is left to right, but is that always the case?

If a train loads fuel from the left slot (nuclear so stack size 1), and then that slot is re-filled before its current tank runs dry, will it load from the left slot again?

I was trying to watch one to find out, but after waiting for what seemed like hours, it was time for bed and it hadn't run out! :lol:
