Ferry Lines - can't add stop

[cmill11]

I am a newcomer to this forum but I'm hoping I can get some help here. I have been working on a city for a while that is made up of islands with really steep coastlines, which pretty much requires ferries to effectively move people around. I am trying to set up a ferry route but am having some issues.

I have built several different terminals (ferry dock/ferry terminal/ferry and bus terminal) as well as a depot. I connected each of them with the yellow-dashed pathways. But when it's time for me to create a line, i am always able to start one, but I can never add a stop. The option to click the ferry terminal to add a stop appears, but clicking does nothing. I'm at a loss here - it seems no one else on the internet has ever had this problem!

Happy to post a screenshot... once I figure out where to do that.

Update: I got it working! I disabled the DLC in my steam library, started the game, closed the game, enabled the DLC again, started the game, removed all ferry connections and built new ones. Not sure which one did the trick but I am super happy!!

I would be too! Glad it's fixed, have fun.
Oh nice city by the way!!!

I have the same issue as Noobie, but sadly this trick did not work for me.
I tried to disable / enable the DLC, but no luck.

Bummer that this bug still exists.

There is a depot for ferries this too needs a path or be connected to the ferry pathway.
I have also seen instances where the path is broken so it stops the line from being built. The one I repaired the node that was very close to shore ended up being broken or disconnected somehow.

Cheers, I realised what I was doing wrong :)
Thanks!

I think the problem folks are having is likely what I was having.
The solution is to think of the ferry stops and the Ferry depots more like train stations. you need "tracks" in and out of the "Station" for things to function. until you have the in and out paths setup you cannot set up the ferry schedule. until the depot is connected with an in and out path to the ferry route, there are no ferries. so set up a loop that visits each ferry stop as well as the depot for your first attempt. then try to setup a ferry schedule.

Also, if you see any circles along the route, it's a broken route. delete and redo the route. you must lay the route all at once between any two stops. really silly, but that's how it is. you cannot delete a section and fill it in.

Don't know if people are still looking for a solution, but after trying all possible solutions on the internet, I found out that my shoreline was too high. I first had the ferry stops on the quays, but the shoreline was too low. When putting the stops on a lower shore I could add the stops!

Had this exact issue and finally figured out why! I use Fine Road Anarchy, and didn't have it on normal mode. I like to use the mode where the ground rises to meet the road you're placing. However, this has caused issues for me drawing metro tracks, as they can't be placed underground, so I wondered if the same thing happened here. I deleted my ferry pathways, ensured I was on normal mode within Fine Road Anarchy, redrew the lines and they worked like a charm.

I also figure out what the problem is: The Ferry Stop and Depot is not "at water level"!
Once I move it down with the help of Move It, it works!

From 2024 It works for me just to uncheckbox DLCs and start game (not to play your saves just start game) and then exit the game, and recheck All DLCs and then enjoy your ferry!
