Optimised Outside Connections

Description
Optimised Outside Connections
Compatible with Cities Skylines 1.17 (23nd May Update)

Sick of 7% full cargo trains clogging up your rail network? Got a queue of near-empty cruise ships clogging up your harbours?

Optimised Outside Connections reduces the number of large vehicles (trains, planes and ships) in your city by filling each vehicle more. Mainly applies to large vehicles going to and from outside connections, but it also affects cargo trains within your city.

These vehicles will wait 4 times as long to collect cargo before appearing at the map edge or at stations. You can increase this even more in the options, but factories and power stations might run out of supplies. It only applies to large vehicles, not trucks or cars.

Tip: if you have Industries DLC, put a warehouse near power stations to help give them consistent supplies!

Also has options to remove dummy traffic (vehicles that go straight from one outside-connection to another) for each of road traffic, trains, planes and ships. These options remove both cargo and passenger dummy traffic. Please note that it can take some time for dummy traffic to stop spawning.

Optimised Outside Connections uses Harmony[github.com]. It can be safely disabled or uninstalled at any time. Thanks to Deeheks, Leader of the Monkeys[www.twitch.tv] and Strictoaster for testing, and to boformer for lots of technical help. This project would not exist without boformer's expertise.

I'm having a little problem with the cargo ship delay.
I have far too many cargo ships arriving in my ports and they're only half-full. Even if I set the delay to x10, it reduces the number of cargo ships, but not enough. Is there a way of solving this problem?
Edit : I disabled dummy traffic but no change.

i have a problem with passenger ships coming to all kind of ports and queuing (over 30 easily) and more keep spawning. City is being flooded by tourists (yay?)

well, i Guess the good times are over with CS1... no way community will be updating mods since CS2 is out. THanks for maintaining nevertheless, it was fun... :)

P.S. OH, and thank you CO, for totally ready and playable vanilla version of this game :'D

I had to unsubscribe this mod. My whole city was dying coz of no cargo trains, ships and planes.

Unfortunately trains didn't seem to want to run with this, i had no errors, but i couldn't get cargo trains to run at all, i had no dummy train traffic either. Unsubbed for the time being!

I have TMPE, so i was wondering if there was a conflict!
