Trash pick up not working well still

[aevansjr35]

I literally built a recycling center next to a building and its the ONLY building that trash didnt get picked up at.

Is traffic on the road in front of these buildings going into the other direction? If so, then any garbage truck returning to the facility is full from other pick ups.

Some screenshots would be helpfull.

[aevansjr35]

2 way traffic. Its always the main buildings of industrial areas that seem to be the issue and this is the mail building for forest area.

I would suggest re-plop/replace the building in the event it disconnected during a save or something. Also if a building is calling for pick-up then I would suggest using the routes tool to see if a garbage truck has been dispatched to the address.

The main buildings of industry area's act as a hub for all the buildings of that industry area when police and garbage services are concerned. Perhaps this has something to do with the issue you're experiencing.

But again, it's hard to tell without some screenshots or a posted savegame.

Yeah I did that and finally got picked up... then later on happened again lol., onily the main buildings for industry areas it happens to. For a good laugh I put like a recyling center a landfill and an incinerator around it and still never picked up. I moved it and suddenly picked up and had to do it again to get trash to be picked up.

I use the small Zero Emissions Garbage Center from the Workshop and place it around the map. That allows trucks to bypass a lot of the traffic and makes pickups easier.

So when you plop it down it gets trash picked up one time or so then stops?
Well that's interesting trash assets trucks can and do get to it but then what the what.
The roads it's on is it industry road? if so change the piece of road in front of the asset and see if that does anything, I guess. Really don't know.

Just re-position your recycler so that empty truck leaving the center pass by the industrial building on the correct side of the road and at the beginning of the route. At least that seems to work very well for me.

No one seems to mention how AI actually works...
Services in vanilla game are

FIRST CALL FIRST SERVE, regardless of distance.

Thats why plopping service building right next to problems, dont solve anything.
Install TMCE if you want to change that.

Yes garbage routes follow 1st come policy, trucks however are free to pick up garbage along the way if they have room. That's why it so often takes so long to get to assigned destinations. The only problem with nearby garbage pick up is that garbage trucks and workers will not cross the road and trucks passing on the correct side of the road are too often full.
CS garbage collection was not set up to work correctly, conveniently or realistically. Garbage in CS was set up to fail to be what some refer to as a challenge. In reality garbage in this game is designed to be an ongoing distraction meant to create an illusion. If you take a hard look you'll find that the player actually has 0 control over garbage or garbage trucks or garbage truck dispatch or routes.

I will have to log at mods it looks like. Ive watched trash and recycle trucks just go by and do no pick up but picks up the buildings around it. Makes 0 sense and its only the main buildings for the industries. Now if only we could move trash by trains and had trash barges sigh.

Oh how sad, if the player had no control then one couldn't do things like this.

Again the game is the distraction so calling trash pick up a distraction only means you never figured it out and now are trying to convince others of the failing.

Perhaps one of the mod you are using effects Industries?

Yes I've seen your vid. Very cute. :) I've also seen a vid of Godzilla eating city garbage that was equally cute. Don't suppose you have a game save used to make the vid do you? Always entertaining to see and hear what people have done. Far more helpful however to see how they did it and how stable the creation actually remains. But hey, Don't worry about it. Comes right down to it. I don't know that I really have any interest in the ever amazing art of garbage collection. More than happy to leave that particular skill in your very experienced hands.

Oh I do have the save and many saves of that city through the years. One of the saves can be found in the workshop or in my profile. As a matter of fact it's my main city that was started way back in 2015 and I still play today and the garbage pick up is just as predictable as it was back in 2015. The point is trash collection is very understandable if you wish to take the time.

But the issue before us here is with ONE asset losing the ability to communicate its need for trash pick-up.

Sure it is. And sure you do. Never doubted it for a minute. Only just like OP the way to a solution seems clear. But of course you already know that. Right?
