@algernon Thanks, I dont need more than four connections, just wanted to change directions, also I don't want to load my pc with too many mods.

@Nillita Provided you have four or fewer connections of each type, yes, they will still work. However, if you have more than four, the extra connections won't function properly without this mod.
Nillita May 23 @ 2:29pm 
Hello, I was wondering if the connections still work after using this mod once and disabling it?

Thanks heaps mate.
algernon  [author] Apr 15 @ 9:57pm 
@jsonlinebuying THanks! And yes, it's compatible with TM:CE.

G'day algernon. I have a number of yours, Bloodypenguin, BadPeanut and others MOD's. You blokes make this game truly worth playing. I was looking at subscribing to this MOD but was wondering if it was compatible with Transfer Manager CE V2.xx? I understand if your not sure. It's hard to check every MOD, but I'd thought I'd ask just in case you knew.

@joyeuse13 I have never seen that exact text before, so I don't know. You've definitely subscribed to the required Harmony dependency mod, right?
joyeuse13 Apr 7 @ 10:07am 
Load status in content manager says "Unloaded: Not in Game." What does this mean and how do I fix it? I've tried unsubscribing and resubscribing.
algernon  [author] Apr 3 @ 2:25pm 
@814563877 Depends by exactly what you mean. Cims catching public transport will walk in from the border and wait at a virtual 'station' for pickup.

Why are there so many people walking on my border after the highway is built?
algernon  [author] Mar 20 @ 5:08am 
@FairyKomet Thanks! The green arrows mean that an outside connection has been made, yes.
FairyKomet Mar 20 @ 4:17am 
Hi Algernon, please allow us to thank you first for all of the mods you were part of during the building process and the ones you are currently maintaining. I would like to ask abuot something regarding this mod: Would the fact of being able to see the green arrows going in and out confirm that the road (regardless of whether custom asset or vanilla) connecting to the outside is working, or do we have to wait and check whether sims or cargos actually spawn there as game progresses to make sure?
Aris_K Mar 19 @ 2:22pm 
You are a lifesaver algernon! That was it... Thank you so much!
algernon  [author] Mar 8 @ 4:09am 
@Aris_K Make sure that you're not forcing a particular network elevation type in network tool or other mods. The outside connection is a specific type of elevation that the game must be free to choose; if you take that choice away via a mod setting then the game can't create the connections.
Aris_K Mar 8 @ 4:06am 
Yeah... this is weird. Like many others commented, I do also have problems only with the train connections (vanilla tracks). All other (roads) work fine and it lets me create outside connections but not for trains...
algernon  [author] Mar 3 @ 2:00pm 
@allenyangwenchao That would suggest the mod isn't active. Maybe Steam randomly deleted it from your computer even though you're still subscribed (known Steam bug)? Check to make sure.
allenyangwenchao Mar 2 @ 9:21pm 
Hi Algernon! I got a small issue. after I created 2 train connections, it said I cannot build any more!!? Well, what should I do !!! Plz help! thx
algernon  [author] Feb 8 @ 3:33am 
@缪雪松 The mod doesn't change any behaviors with outside connections; it just lets you create them. Sometimes intercity train connections won't generate passengers (even without the mod - it's a game issue); if you're sure that you've got the connection correct, you can manually create the connection by creating a train line to and from that connection to your station(s).
缪雪松 Feb 8 @ 1:59am 
Hi algernon, I met some issues while using this mod. The game can not generate train that contains passengers. I'm sure that I'm using vanilla tracks. What should I do? Is there something wrong with the mod?
algernon  [author] Jan 18 @ 4:02am 
@辰-柯 It seems as though you might have encountered the Steam Workshop bug where items aren't always downloaded when you subscribe. Use Skyve to manage your mods and force download, or otherwise, follow normal Steam mod procedures - unsubscribe/resubscribe, restart your Steam client, restart your computer.
辰-柯 Jan 17 @ 5:34am 
Hello, why can't I find the subscribed mod? Also, in the mod store, it shows that the file has not been downloaded locally and cannot be found.
algernon  [author] Jan 8 @ 9:36pm 
@Kombat Wombat Are you using vanilla tracks? Most custom tracks don't support outside connections.
Kombat Wombat Jan 8 @ 6:46pm 
Having the same issue, read through the comments and while I have Network Anarchy made it sure the tracks are default. I might be able to get a freight train out, but no passenger/freight in. Does the map have to be pre-configured/created for rail connections? It looks like it didn't originally.
algernon  [author] Dec 18, 2024 @ 4:11am 
@超绝命的无敌杂鱼 Yes.
超绝命的无敌杂鱼 Dec 18, 2024 @ 12:45am 
does it works now?
alex.ialu03 Dec 1, 2024 @ 2:58pm 
@Fraud. Can you share a screenshot and more details of how you have fixed this? I have the same problem
Fraud. Oct 28, 2024 @ 12:15pm 
@algernon, i fixed... :D No new connection is added to this part of the map, I removed all the mods, only 81 tiles remained and I pulled the connection to another area that the game itself allows.
algernon  [author] Oct 28, 2024 @ 4:34am 
@Fraud. So the outside connection is working, okay. Addressing the traffic is a gameplay issue, and there are a number of guides out there on building rail networks. Basic points are to remove any bottlenecks in your internal rail network, make sure there are alternative routes, and possibly even keep your internal and external lines separate.

The best treatment depends on your city and playstyle, so I can't advise on specifics.
Fraud. Oct 28, 2024 @ 12:07am 
@algernon yeah, that working but so many traffic flow here, When this traffic gets longer, it reaches the city center and all train traffic stops.
algernon  [author] Oct 27, 2024 @ 3:53pm 
@Fraud. Isn't that screenshot showing that your outside connections are working?
Fraud. Oct 27, 2024 @ 5:25am 
Fraud. Oct 27, 2024 @ 4:33am 
:steamsad:I have 2 Modes;
81 Tiles & Unlimited Outside Connections (+Harmony2.2.20) but rail way "green arrows" not seen anytime.I haven't played the game for 48 hours to solve this. I just really want to solve the problem
algernon  [author] Oct 27, 2024 @ 4:22am 
@Fraud. Make sure that you're only trying to make outside rail connections with vanilla tracks (most custom tracks don't support outside connections), and have your Network Anarchy elevation setting to 'default'.
Fraud. Oct 27, 2024 @ 2:45am 
Dont'work, please help me. Train traffic so bad, but no add any connection on this map end.
akrspot64 Aug 19, 2024 @ 1:29am 
I subsrcibed a while ago and it worked fine. Just recently it stopped loading. It`s reading enabled but not loaded.
Alanbai Aug 13, 2024 @ 1:43am 
why i can't create another railway outside connection after i create one?
my fursona's huge tail Jul 31, 2024 @ 5:31pm 
i dont know if this is this mod's fault specifically but my pedestrians waiting for the trains at the edge wont despawn and no trains are spawning.
DeadB4U Jul 15, 2024 @ 1:04pm 
if you have deleted your train connection to the outside world the track must be reconnected using a train connection track found by using find it 2
algernon  [author] Jul 10, 2024 @ 5:50am 
@飘香醉 As noted in the description above, custom airways can be very fragile and can break. There's no sure-fire fix, but you might try bulldozing and replacing airports.
飘香醉 Jul 9, 2024 @ 9:56pm 
Dear author, when used, the roads are normal, the ship fairways are normal, the railways are normal, only the airplane routes do not work, there are no planes entering my city, how is this
alfoxon Jul 2, 2024 @ 8:28am 
I'm just setting up a map for a large long term build. I prefer altering things in play mode not editor. The problem I had all came down to roads terrain following and so changing height when you extend them. Just need to make sure reset to default height when trying to make a new connection. same for railways.
roxeelamaa Apr 26, 2024 @ 3:19pm 
It was in fact Anarchy, it still says its loaded but now it works. thanks for this mod!
roxeelamaa Apr 26, 2024 @ 3:08pm 
Same issue for me, train outside connection is broken. Anarchy is off and still no green arrows. i accidently deleted my train connection with delete (on move it)... now i cant trace it back. it says its loaded but i have only 1 train, 1 ship, 1 highway and one plane connection. and it says its loaded. I have 53k citizens. Do i have to unsubscribe anarchy ? :'(
algernon  [author] Apr 25, 2024 @ 10:54pm 
@King Arron II Nothing's changed with this mod for nearly a year-and-a-half now and it still works.

Most commonly what you're seeing is when you're trying to make outside connections using network types that don't support it (e.g. most custom networks, or networks with zoning).

The second most common reason is that you're using Network Anarchy and have the elevation setting set to something other than 'default'.

The third most common reason is that you're using a conflicting mod (typically one of the older mods that appear to work but in fact now quietly break things in the background).
King Arron Apr 25, 2024 @ 5:55am 
This mod says it's loaded but hasn't worked for months now. I can connect networks to the edge of map, but no green arrow or 'outside connection' appears
bazometr Feb 9, 2024 @ 2:53am 
@algernon Alright, thank you for the answer
algernon  [author] Feb 6, 2024 @ 2:24pm 
@bazometr This doesn't affect existing connections at all. There are many mods that can cause that issue you've described, but this isn't one of them.
bazometr Feb 5, 2024 @ 11:43pm 
I've built a city with 140k population and have built the huge airport using Airports DLC. Everything was functioning fine but recently, i noticed that not a single plane arrives or departures from my airport. I checked the outside connections on the edges of a map and i saw huge piles of people stacked but not a single airplane is spawning for them. I have never touched these outside connections, they are all orginal. The only thing that i added with this mod is one road outside connection which functions fine. I am running this map with 65 mods, so maybe the issue is not with this mod, but if anybody has any idea what causes this problem, i will be very happy for your answer).
algernon  [author] Feb 2, 2024 @ 2:35pm 
@slavonator You'll need to use Move It to delete the existing shipping connections, but it might be unstable - make sure you make a backup first and test to make sure that things are working properly afterwards.

This will enable you to add new shop connections (use Find It to access the shipping path network tool).
slavonator Feb 2, 2024 @ 4:34am 
@algernon I can't figure out how to delete the existing shipping routes and replace them with others. My point is that the routes that were originally on the map now also go through the mainland, because I have new islands and new canals built. you know what I mean? is it possible to use this mod to create routes exactly according to my new water channels and delete those that were on the map? thank you in advance for your help as always and especially for everything you do for this community.
