@Nuclear_Xtreme Glad you figured it out - yes, that behavior is part of the base game; although you can manually create routes between existing stations and outside connections if you want (the connections are functionally stations and can be connected with the transport line tool).

Nice to see that the GitHub source came in handy!

Ok, think I see what my issue was. TLDR: looks like the way transport AI detects these outside links is at the time of *placing the station/building*, so if you create outside connections, only building placed afterwards actually "see" them. So you should probably create all the ones you need at the start of a saved game unlike me lol

I took a look on your GitHub src code @algernon and seen "
/// <param name="buildingID">ID of created building.</param>
public static void OnBuildingCreated(ushort buildingID)"
at ......./Code/BuildingManagerHooks.cs#L19C1-L22C64 in the repo

I figured this was a good clue and I was right! Live-saving mod for the game BTW and thanks for coding this one up :)

Having issues with rail lines on edge of map :( Have Harmony 2.2.0, and using NA with 'default' mode. Weird thing is on this same saved game it's working on the other edge of the map? Any ideas? I have enough traffic demand FYI.

@algernon i've fix the problem after i pull out the road out of the map instead of just pull out of a tile.thx

@PrinceLim The message you posted there says that there's no problem. Unless you meant something else?

@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.

Hello, I was wondering if the connections still work after using this mod once and disabling it?

Thanks heaps mate.

@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?

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.

@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?

@FairyKomet Thanks! The green arrows mean that an outside connection has been made, yes.

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?

You are a lifesaver algernon! That was it... Thank you so much!

@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.

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...

@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.

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

@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).

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?

@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.

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.

@Kombat Wombat Are you using vanilla tracks? Most custom tracks don't support outside connections.

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.

@超绝命的无敌杂鱼 Yes.

does it works now?

@Fraud. Can you share a screenshot and more details of how you have fixed this? I have the same problem

@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.

@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.

@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.

@Fraud. Isn't that screenshot showing that your outside connections are working?

https://prnt.sc/tlkPpUX_PT3N

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

@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'.

Dont'work, please help me. Train traffic so bad, but no add any connection on this map end.

I subsrcibed a while ago and it worked fine. Just recently it stopped loading. It`s reading enabled but not loaded.

why i can't create another railway outside connection after i create one?

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.

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

@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.

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

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.

It was in fact Anarchy, it still says its loaded but now it works. thanks for this mod!

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 ? :'(

@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).

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
