LiquidSky -> RE: Conversion of Freights to the Actual Materials (6/13/2021 2:37:14 AM)

Freight is freight. Nothing else. Only when a unit 'needs' or requests stuff will that freight be converted into ammo/fuel/supplies/replacements.
If freight is lost in transit, it is only freight. The actual items lost is converted into stuff which is removed from the pools. I've usually assumed it to be supply, but with the pools being very large, what it actually chooses is probably mostly meaningless.
Note that stuff does not convert into freight. Freight converts into stuff. Your NSS sends out freight. Freight flows down the rail lines, drawn by Railyards. It gets stored in the depot as freight. Only then, when a unit attempts to draw what it needs, it is converted from the freight.
The stuff sits in a pool. Or it sits in a unit.
In your example, if freight is lost during movement from a depot to a unit, it would be already converted into stuff and so it would be the stuff that is lost. How that happens is probably random, could be prorated, or maybe is just supplies. But with the pools being so large, and replacements being rarely sent to a front line unit, I doubt it matters much. What is more important is that trucks get destroyed, since that prevents the movement of freight as stuff to the unit.
