Cement/DDC Transporting Problem

[g00ner7175]

Hi Guys,

There is probably a very simple answer to this question, however I am pulling my hair out at the moment (not that I have alot to pull out :)). I'm trying to transport DDC from my stone quarry to a town that demands it (using the extended industries mod), but whenever I buy a train to transport the goods there are no wagons listed that will transport this material.

I have been in the workshop and downloaded cement wagons but these do not appear in the list when I go to buy the wagon.

Can anyone point me in the right direction as to what I am doing wrong or not doing.

Cheers

Paul

One possibility is that you forgot to activate the mod for cement wagons in your game - when you go to continue the game, load the game using the "Load Game" option rather than the "Continue" option and check what mods are active in the game in the list at the bottom of the Load Game menu.

Another possibility is that the cement wagon mod that you picked up has wagons that only become available after a certain point in time, or perhaps up until a certain point in time. A way to check this would be to start a game in 2000 with the "vehicles never expire" and the cement wagon mods active, build a train depot, and look for the wagons in that depot to see when they become available; another way to do this would be to substitute sandbox for vehicles never expire and set the game-date to various points to see when the cement wagons are available.

Looking at the DDC Cement Factory mod's workshop page, the cement wagon mod that it provides a link to indicates that the cement wagon that the mod provides only becomes available in 1964, so I would guess that your issue is that you're not far enough along in the game for the wagon to become available.

Thanks very much for the help Joe - I thought the mods auto loaded and didn't realise I had to activate them so all good now.
