Fees
Fees are costs bound to either motorized rail vehicles or orders . Fees for motorized rail vehicles are always bound to a single vehicle, such as a locomotive. Fees for the orders, on the other hand, can be bound to multiple vehicles that are assigned to an order, and include costs of both relevant cars and cargo . Each fee can be broken into individual costs per vehicle, such as the consumed diesel , body damage , environment impact , and others. This full listing is accessed by printing out a fee on a career manager .
It's your responsibility to take care of the fees. Otherwise, you will be blocked from buying new licenses and can also get suspended from taking new delivery orders .
At the start of a career , fees are negligible due to insurance covering all costs in excess of $100. However, as your career advances, you share more of the responsibility of paying for maintenance . This incentivizes you to treat all equipment and deliveries with utmost care, skill and efficacy .
Servicing a motorized vehicle by paying a fee will instantly repair and restock it to a mint state. This is a preferred way of servicing vehicles at the start of your career, when copay is low enough. Later in your career, manual servicing is a cheaper alternative.
You are not necessarily required to pay their fees as soon as they come up . Sometimes it's better to time these payments strategically.
