Expanded Trailer Combinations

Description
This mod adds rear 'hooks' to all ownable trailer chassis allowing for more variety in ownable multi combination trailers.

The Lodeking trailer DLC is supported but not required to use this mod.

If you find a bug while using this mod please report it! The mod is too large for me to effectively test every combination and accessory for each update. If you do find a bug please leave a detailed report in the comments (exact body and chassis used etc). I investigate every reported issue!


As there are hundreds of combinations in this mod, listing them all is impractical. Supported combinations generally include:

32ft STAA Doubles (permitted in all states)
32ft Triples
Up to 53ft front trailer, 32ft rear trailer RMD's
53ft TPD's with 3 Axle Dollies
TPD's of all supported trailers types.

All Trailers:
3 axle dolly TPD's (except Container and Livestock)

Box Trailers:
53ft Spread axle

Bulkfeed trailers:
32ft chassis

Container trailers:
STAA Double Expandable trailers. This combination can be set to STAA, RMD or TPD on the fly!

4 axle B trailer
32 ft spread axle trailer

For those who want to run these combinations including any stock game combinations anywhere in the game please download this mod as well: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2011749938

This mod is not compatible with TMP due to using custom game assets. Sanguinem Luna
has a TMP version listing every possible combination compatible with TMP. Please do not ask Sanguinem Luna for more combinations as they can not create them with stock game assets. Find it here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1616377353

Sanguinem Luna has also created an extended B-Double mod for ATS which can be using alongside this mod. Find it here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1859803083.

Known Bugs:
Container Trailers: The expandable trailers are all listed as STAA Doubles. This allows the combination to be changed from STAA, RMD and TPD between jobs using the F7 Trailer Configuration function.
Dropdeck Trailers: You must manually select the hook rear bumper for the 1st trailer.
Log Trailers: Do not jack knife the dolly. This may cause it to clip inside the hitbox of the log trailer resulting in truck and trailer damage as well rolling the combination over.
Lodeking trailer: You must manually select the hook rear body for the 1st trailer.

@ Medivien If you use auto parking it may glitch you into objects. The game was not designed for the player to use such long combinations. Most locations should be suitable if you are not using long combinations in all states.

Mate, do U think is possible make a classic variant 3 axle for 32" B-Train Flatbed Trailer and 3 rear axle for 53'' van trailer?? like a Canadian Style :steamhappy:

Another outstanding mod! The dump TPD is the coolest combination in my opinion.

Thank you, I will fix that in the next update.

Something I noticed today is that the dolly on the Gas Tank combos only have the option for Exclusive mudflaps and not the Standard version mudflaps.

Thank you. I'll update the defs when I get time. I was planning on double checking them with the release of Kansas. Seems I forgot to do that when Oklahoma was released.

Hey man just thought I would let you know that your versions of the STAA,RMD,Turnpike & Triple trailer configurations aren't allowed in Oklahoma when there are legal. Only allowing SCS standard types in Oklahoma atm.
