Industries Map Editor

[Cop Unit 12]

I've been out of the game for like a year or so and back in the day you use to be able to spawn in on the map editor up to about 200 industries via the random industry generator AFTER you make the terrain.

Now for some reason that idk if it's intentional or not that I'm only able to spawn at most on a normal extra large 1x1 map, 86 industries. Is there a mod fix if this is base game or is it a bug that I am experience that I'm going to have to wipe all the game files to fix it? Thanks.

I'm not sure where the link is... but there's a link somewhere to how that's restricted. I'm not sure if it's map size, the setting for industry density, or city count. Hopefully someone with more knowledge can answer that. Because I too have noticed differences as I play around with the maps.

I mean when you start a map generator when you can selected industry density it's normal. But when you want to spawn in Mass amounts of industry AFTER the map generated in the map editor it has a (for the game) a low amount.

Here is a screenshot on what I'm talking about.

You can use sandbox mode and no costs.
Create the map and add in more industry.
Save.
Disable the two mods and carry on as normal.
Why would you want so many industries? Could affect performance later if you hook them all up.

That's not a solution that works with my smoll brain. I wanted the industries to auto generate so I can have better placement then whatever I do while being able to do SMALL adjustments.

This is because the amount that it maxes out at is SMALL industry density and will not cover every town. Medium back when I last played just barely did not cover every town. Sure it took some time to load the map but I never ran into performance problems with how I played, hooking up 127 industry's and 27 towns.

Then use mods that increase the production output:

An example.

"Better placement" would only come from yourself and not the AI.
When maxed out the industries should be able to supply most of the towns [if not all].
If your towns grow too big you are [if not planned out properly from the start] going to get traffic problems and performance problems [when depending on your computer and map set-up].
You could add goods conglomerate mods to supply any towns not getting enough later.

Your missing the entire point. I suck as placing industries locations that are not just "place 2 oil derricks right next door to the oil refinery, next to the fuel refinery and plastics factory". I don't play with post start AI placed factories. I'm ONLY talking about PRE PLACED, PRE START industry and how to get the PRE START industries up to what the current medium density map maker does in the map editor via the industry generator.
