Resources assigned to multiple scenarios

A single resource may be assigned to multiple scenarios. In each scenario, it will have the same name, description, resource class, resource colour, animation sounds, resource icon and resource image. All other resource properties can be different for each scenario to which the resource is assigned.

Multiple resources in a scenario

A scenario can have any number of resources assigned to it. When multiple resources are assigned to a scenario, they do not have to have the same resource properties. You can mix the source types (Input Path or AutoScheduler), the resource capacity types (Production Rate or Target) and the destination types (Destination, Dump Path, AutoDump).For example, in an open cut coal schedule scenario, individual waste mining equipment may be set up as Production Resources with defined Input Paths and Dump Paths, while a coal mining fleet may be set up as an AutoScheduler Target Resource utilising the AutoDump facility.
