update: I've just read the note in "Real Time" settings about the 65k limit with REAL simulation mode and done the following:
- Clear fire manager
- Clear all stuck citizen schedule
- clear all stuck tourist
- clear all stuck citizens in closed buildings

- disable REAL simulation mode

and after unpausing the game it seems to have already completely UN-"stuck" my save.
I will come back in case of further issues (but I'm still interested in wether the combination is supported because some settings eem to contradict with ones of the other mods)
(also I accidentally posted the wrong Real Time Mod link)

Thanks for your fast response!
do you think this Mod combination is compatible because I'm having issues in my 170k city with:
- high housing demand but not many moving in
- many service buildings always closed
- Services not reaching buldings for unkown reasons (police station a few meters away, crime 111%)

@Chaos_02,

I don't think that mod is compatible with the latest CS1 build. This mod also has improved fire engine AI support anyway so it shouldn't be needed.

I think, using this (https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2346565561&searchtext=smart+fire) Mod alongside causes issues that pretty much break matching entirely? It's really inconsistent and a couple buildings of mine are just permanently closed pretty much.

In this new version you can now turn OFF the cargo warehouse matching rules to get vanilla behavior if you prefer it.

I'm unsure if what i'm experiencing is some of what is discussed below.
I'm seeing my newly build warehouse 'magicly' getting filed with goods without any trucks arriving with goods. (its a small warehouse)
Is this part of the mod?
Can i turn it off?
Necko  [author] Sep 8 @ 12:52pm 
@04_z can you come to our discord server and open the new thread for issue?
I am not sure which asset you are testing some Warehouse or CargoTrainWarehouse?

For CargoTrainWarehouse you need 2 rail connections to function it can be Outside Connection or other CargoTrainWarehouse or CargoTrainStation

CargoTrainWarehouse has 2 buidlings (its unique by design) Cargo Train Station as one, and Warehouse as another one, so both can request things and both function slightly different

It can be district mis-match which cause it to not match or deliver to CTW (Cargo Train Warehouse)

@04_z

One more tip. You can ponder upon why two terminals rather than one, and replacing the distant one with a bunch of production buildings works the same.
UguuDoki Sep 6 @ 1:11am 
@04_z

Does the demo not show otherwise? You should first prove to yourself that it works, then apply or not apply settings to figure what makes it not work.
04_z Sep 5 @ 9:03pm 
@UguuDoki
Based on my testing, two Cargo Train Stations on the same rail line can transfer goods to each other, and two Rail-Connected Warehouses can also exchange goods directly. However, direct transfers between Cargo Train Stations and Rail-Connected Warehouses don't work. When the mod is disabled, transportation returns to normal.
What specific settings need to be enabled to make direct transfers between Cargo Train Stations and Rail-Connected Warehouses possible?

@ Sleepy
I have also joined the Discord and sent you a message there.
The core question I am seeking confirmation on is: Can a Cargo Train Station transfer goods directly to a Rail-Connected Warehouse without requiring road-based transport for the final delivery?
I would like to ask if this specific logistics model has been tested. If it hasn't, would it be possible for you to verify this behavior? It should be a relatively quick check to perform. If this direct connection isn't currently supported, please consider adding this functionality in a future update. I believe it would be a valuable improvement to the mod's capabilities.
To help with your investigation, please let me know what specific information you need from my end. I am ready to provide save files, screenshots, or detailed logs to assist in diagnosing this behavior.

I changed the Delay in multiple Step´s down to 0.... no significant Change. I tried several other Changes like "Heuristic-Calculation" or Calculation by "Line-of-Sight" instead of Road-Network (my Default)... slightly increase of Traintbased Deliveries by 5%. I even tried to Change my Road-Layout to increase the Path-Length of my Road´s. ...No Change.
The only Solution i have left: is to restrict Truck-Traffic In and Out of Industrial-/Servicepoint-Districts.
(Just for explanation: I play on High Difficult with TMPE:Despawn off)

@04_z,

If you would prefer to solve the issue yourself then I would suggest enabling match logging for the material you are having issues with and the transfer manager will generate a file that lists exactly why matches were or were not chosen.

Global Settings > Maintenance > Log Matches
Sleepy  [author] Aug 31 @ 8:54pm 
@04_z,

If you are wanting assistance I will at least need screen shots and/or a save game to load and test. The easiest way to do this is log into our discord server and/or to share a save game file on Steam.
04_z Aug 31 @ 7:58pm 
I have verified that the global vehicle limit for my city has not been reached. This issue is directly tied to the mod, as deactivating it immediately restores normal logistics and resolves the shortage.
A separate but related issue I have observed involves a high number of 'ghost vehicles' accumulating in the city. A periodic clearance is required roughly every 10 minutes, removing between 40 to 50 vehicles each time. I am providing this information for your diagnostic purposes.
04_z Aug 31 @ 7:58pm 
The road connections between the Warehouse yard and this industrial district are confirmed to be clear and unobstructed. Despite this, the Warehouse yard is operating significantly below its vehicle capacity—for example, only 4 out of its 12 trucks are active. Critically, the warehouse is correctly matched to the struggling factories, and its budget is set to reserve over 50% of vehicles for local distribution. Export limits have also been set. However, based on my monitoring, none of the active trucks are making deliveries to the local industrial district; all shipments are being sent outside the city as exports.
04_z Aug 31 @ 7:57pm 
I am writing to report a new issue I have discovered regarding local goods distribution. My Warehouse yards do not seem to be dispatching trucks for local deliveries.
A specific industrial district in my city is now experiencing a severe goods shortage. It is important to note that this district is not integrated into the railway network, nor was that planned, as it functioned without any supply issues prior to the mod's activation.
04_z Aug 31 @ 2:13am 
The delivery logic I am trying to achieve in my city is as follows:
Factories produce goods and send them to a Cargo Train Station.
The Cargo Train Station should then transfer these goods to the Rail-Connected Warehouse for storage.
Finally, my unique factories should get their supplies from this Rail-Connected Warehouse.
I would like to confirm if this intended logistics chain is supported by your mod.
04_z Aug 31 @ 2:13am 
I am using Line-of-Sight connections for my cargo terminals. I am inquiring if this specific setting might be the cause.
The reason I switched to Line-of-Sight is that I built a large cargo harbor area with multiple terminals. When I used Path-Based connections, all the traffic would congest into a single terminal, which is why I had to change the method.
Regarding the rail-connected warehouse, I have pressed Ctrl+3 for a network overview. There are no error notifications for 'Path Connection Error' or 'No Road Access' related to this building. In fact, there are no warnings or notifications about the rail-connected warehouse at all.
My main question is about the operational requirement: Does the rail connection require that both the sender and the receiver be a rail-connected warehouse for direct transfers to function?
04_z Aug 31 @ 1:49am 
I have observed a persistent issue. To isolate it, I started a new game on an official map with only the official unlimited money mod and your mod enabled. My testing shows that the rail-connected warehouse cannot receive goods directly by train. Both imported and locally produced goods cannot be delivered by rail to this building. However, the same warehouse can receive goods without issue by road transport."

"Furthermore, I have confirmed that the rail connection is fully operational, as I have witnessed the warehouse successfully exporting goods directly out by train. Conversely, for incoming goods, I have observed a different behavior: goods are first shipped to a nearby railway station and are then transferred to the warehouse by truck. This creates an inefficient delivery loop."

"The situation is inconsistent. The warehouse has a confirmed functional rail link for exports, yet it does not utilize this same link for direct imports. This is the specific behavior I have recorded.
Sleepy  [author] Aug 28 @ 8:24pm 
@04_z

If the trains are disappearing from the guest list then it may be that your rail lines are not connected correctly and the pathing is failing. It mightr be worth checking the global pathing error list (Ctrl+3).

You should be able to set up 2 warehouses with cargo stations, one in each district then restrict one to only receive from the other in the settings. I have done this on several of my maps and it works fine.
Sleepy  [author] Aug 28 @ 4:26pm 
@CybenNight,

I think your issue sounds more likely to be due to the new cargo station delay option that adds time to the calculation when transitioning through a cargo station. This will make routes that require going through these cargo stations less desirable and hence wont be selected as often.

Try reducing this value in the global settings to see if it helps your cities layout more.
CybenNight Aug 28 @ 2:46pm 
@ sleepy...
I Use this Mod for Year´s now. But i got a Problem with one of your latest Changes.
You changed the "Path-Distance-Multiplier" to "Outside-Priority".
But the Multiplier affected all Path-Calculations, not just Outside Ones.
Now my City is Clogged up with Trucks happily moving Goods 20 km around the City, instead of using the Innercity-Cargo-Trains. Would you pls add this Feature back.
I don´t want to set every f**king Building to a Transport-Chain (wich doesn´t include Trainstation´s).
This also could explain O4_z `s Problem.
Thx
04_z Aug 27 @ 10:06pm 
Is it possible that the goods originally intended for the warehouse were loaded onto the same train as those meant for export? This might explain why the cargo train only exports and does not transfer goods.
04_z Aug 27 @ 9:59pm 
Let me clarify. Here's what I meant: I have two separate industrial districts. I want to ship goods from District A via train to a rail-connected warehouse in District B. District A produces plenty of goods, and I haven’t placed any restrictions on its cargo train station—yet it only exports goods and does not transfer any to other local stations. I also did not set any import restrictions on the warehouse, and the freight train route is correctly established. Strangely, though, no trains are delivering goods to the warehouse. I’ve already tried enabling Smarter Warehouse Scheduling and turning on all external links, but still no trains are supplying the warehouse. Additionally, after opening the panel with Ctrl+4, it briefly showed that a train from the cargo station was scheduled to deliver to the rail-connected warehouse, but the message disappeared after one second and no train actually arrived. There has also been no sign of any external import trains.
Sleepy  [author] Aug 27 @ 4:00pm 
@ 04_z

You can control imports for a warehouse on the settings tab of the building panel, including which outside connection the building is allowed to match with (Ctrl+4).

Note: For the warehouse with rail line clicking on the building multiple times will alternate selection between the outer warehouse building and the cargo train sub building allowing you to change settings for either transport mode.
04_z Aug 27 @ 2:47am 
Hello, I'm a fan of yours and I really like your mods and they are very powerful. But there is one feature I would like to add that my rail connection warehouse cannot set up imports, so I cannot send goods from other regions to this warehouse by train. So I hope this can be improved, such as adding an import option to the warehouse, like the Transfer Controller mod.
Sleepy  [author] Aug 17 @ 4:07pm 
@zameebe,

Can you log into our discord channel? Its hard to help just from your description below.

Hello Sleepy, all my warehouses are stuck in patthing, can you tell what settings I need to enable or disable to get it fix.
Sleepy  [author] Aug 8 @ 12:05am 
@ 一剑天涯,

I don't speak chinese i'm afraid, but there is a link to the CrowdIn website where the localisations are available above.

If you wanted to update the chinese localisation file as needed then I am happy to update the build with this new translation.
一剑天涯 Aug 7 @ 11:29pm 
Dear author,

There’s an issue with the Chinese translation of the third item under "optimized warehouse regulation strategy" in the freight section of the Transport Management page.

The original Chinese text (for reference) is:
“同时仅允许货量少的仓库送货给货量多的”

The Chinese translation here claims the above, which would mean: "Only allows warehouses with less stock to deliver to those with more stock."

However, your original English text only mentions checking stock levels to prohibit unnecessary transportation, without specifying such allocation rules. My tests also show the opposite: warehouses with more stock actually deliver to those with less, achieving dynamic balance.

Thank you.

Good afternoon, I'm from Brazil. I came across this message asking for help solving a game problem. My unique buildings disappeared, so I left this message here. But I'm grateful because in another mod you gave me some help, which solved the problem. I'm still immensely grateful. I'm a follower of your great work, which makes our gameplay even better. Congratulations.

Boa tarde, falo do Brasil, sou um apreciador desse jogo, e sigo esse mod. Preciso de ajuda, não sei mais o que faço.Percebi recentemente que não tenho mais em meu jogo a prefeitura, universidade, a roda gigante europeia, câmara dos deputados, shopping, enfim parece que não carrega com o jogo, edificios unicos EURO. o que pode ter acontecido, alguém já passou por isso? Desde já agradeço.
Sleepy  [author] Aug 1 @ 6:26pm 
@Sunbeam4242,

That is a known bug of the Better Train Boarding mod. I think it was fixed in the latest version so please check you have updated it correctly.
Sunbeam4242 Aug 1 @ 4:00pm 
All of the sudden my intercity bus and rail connections have been overloaded with hundreds of empty or mostly empty vehicles. I don't know if this is a larger game issue or specific to this mod but I'm using the default settings. How do I fix this? I've tried the optimized outside conncetions mod but that didn't fix anything. For what its worth all cargo connections as well as passenger boats and planes are all working as normal.

Necko  [author] Jul 25 @ 10:04am 
@Gakko yes, thats one of the main features of mod
Gakko Jul 25 @ 9:52am 
Back in the day I used to use District Service Limit, where I could forbid police, fire, healthcare and garbage trucks to go to specific districts while allow other stations to those instead through a menu where I could enable or disable each district. Does this mod have a feature like that?
SpardaSon21 Jul 22 @ 5:09pm 
Oh, thank God for the the cargo warehouse bug fix!
Sleepy  [author] Jul 22 @ 3:43pm 
@Snake,

Yes defaults are fine.
Snake Jul 22 @ 2:15pm 
The amount of data and options in the screenshot scares me... Can you just install this mod, use a default or close to default setting and enjoy improved transfer matching?
DangerousRobot Jul 20 @ 10:32am 
@Sleepy the test version appears to have fixed it. No issues with ambulances anymore and doesn't appear to be any with police either. Some hearses are still doing it but the police and ems are my main concern.
Sleepy  [author] Jul 19 @ 2:52pm 
@DangerousRobot,

Also if possible, could you try using the TEST version (linked above) just to see if that helps as I have fixed a few bugs that may be related to your issue in that version.
DangerousRobot Jul 19 @ 2:27pm 
@Sleepy sounds good. I will when I get a chance.
