That definitely sounds like something I would be interested in. My internal city lines are always getting overwhelmed at the sheer quantities of goods demanded and produced

after a long hiatus I played again this week and I noticed that waste and mail really gets out of hand when your city starts growing and gets to the second era. I chcked the code and noticed that commercial and indistrual buildings had the following multipliers:
x3 for era a buildings
x6 for era b buildings
x9 for era c buildings

I nerfed it and I also changed the residential buildings rule, now only 50% of them will demand sorted mail and output waste and unsorted mail; 25% will output only unsorted mail without any input and the last 25% will output only waste without any input. I like it better, but I didn't upload it since I don't know if others here would like to see such a change.

@zookes, that is basically it.

I think how the mod is designed is to be an industry tycoon. Extractors and raw materials industries are placed automatically around the map, tho they are expensive to place yourself. Processing industries are absent, tho they are cheap for you to place.

Maybe find extractors in interesting locations, decide which chains to use according to towns, their demands and those extractor locations, and then place processing industries to make the chain as profitable as possible?

That is how I play it. Starting 1850 is very very challenging because of the extra cost to buy industries, tho also because you pick where industries are, you can become richer sooner from perfectly optimized lines.

No processing industries spawning here, started at 1850 its 1940 now and the only processing insdustries I have are those I placed. Any idea?

im having an issue where im generating towns on a map and its making all the towns needs late game demands. anyone else had this issue?

ah so it wasn't a bug! thx for the answer.

thanks, appreciate the answer!

Ps: the accompanying guide has videos showing the waste and mail resoueces working at different times

The whole point of this mod is to start in 1800's and slowly transform the economy through industrialization. Factories didnt just exist and were waiting for connections. What did exist was extractor/primary sector and then the manufacturies/secondary sector slowly started taking over. Sure you can plant more fields and ranches, but you can't create ore where it doesnt exist. Industrization adapted to available raw materials and that where the concepts of versatility and complexity come into play. I am very glad so many people have played this mod, but I did create it originally so i could tailor the game to the way i wanted to play it. Alternate versions can be easily created

Hi, will this work with the other industry mods that adds more goods and etc.?
Thanks

Same as others, processing buildings wont spawn :/ is there a way to fix?

im trying to use this mod with early start mod with no industry spawned and iv find that 1. landfill spawn way to much 2. industry that do processing don't spawn.

I had a go at this mod because I really like the core concept. However, when starting in the 1800s, the cargo volumes generated and required for even small towns are enormous. So much so that if you actually attempt to move it all, you will completely deadlock the town streets with all your trucks (carriages). Much too intense for the early period this way imo.

So processor industries dont spawn on their own?

It still seems to cause errors? :-(

The fault for the mod crashing is:

Lua exception

X

Exception type: Lua exception

This error is usually caused by modding. Some game resources contain incorrect data.

Could the author please fix it. Many thanks in advance.

I would appreciate a walk through guide on how to get mail and waster working using this MOD.

The oil refinery has 2x crude oil icons as input and 2x oil icons as output. I only get 1/4 of the crude oil as oil. In vanilla you get 1/2. Is this a bug or is this intentional ?

I would ask people to read the guide included in the description as I get questions that were addressed there

I see too many comments that say "crash". I too had a crash, couldn't even start a new map with this mod installed. Whenever I start a new map with this mod, I don't get any further then the loading screen. Is it possible to start a new map with this mod on ? Does it also work with senseless industries ? I had that also on when I started the map.

I just hoped I could open a new map, select this mod and have a go with it...This mod seems to have a lot of potential ;)

I am doing a playthrough with this mod and i discovered that FOOD has a gap where no industry will demand it and towns wont demand it in era_b.
Only processed food industry will demand FOOD after era_b and no towns will demand processed food until era_c

Fixed it locally for now, but i just wanted you to know or explain your reasoning.

the guide is in the description

I don't know what this mod does because you put the update notes where the description should be.

As with previous comments, a great concept but I just can't get it to load. The loading bar just shows a small level of progress and then just hangs. Be great if this could be sorted.

Update 1.5:
- Made some minor changes to some industries and its cargo
- Fixed the bug that didn't allow some of the industries to properly level up
- Added 8 submenus in the industry build menu to better organize the 70 buildings
- Added a script so that the game will choose the corresponding rules depending on the climate during map generation (thanks doug)
- Added a script so that custom vehicles should all be compatible (thanks doug)
- Updated the accompanying guide to reflect the changes made, this includes updating the several tables.
- Added icons for the build submenus and for recycling and electricty

* Industries that are already placed will still not change their demand so everything is in its 2000 values regardless of the year, including the material recovery efficiency.
* Still to get more than 6 cargo items per town sandbox mode is needed; or the limitation can be used to make more challenging games

Hi. Your mod is great, but for some reason it reacts very strongly to the TGR studio mods from Ikarus and later. The game crashes if their mods are available. I wrote to them and asked, but they don't see any mistakes, they asked me to contact you.

I revised once again all the audio files (again), and it is now working, lets hope they don't change the names of the audio files again

Great concept, can't get it to work

crashes on mail and waste

impossible de jouer avec ce mod, je n'ai mis que celui là, tout seul, sans aucun autre mod et dès que je clic sur 1 industrie, le jeu crash dommage

After copying the .wav files to the effects folder, copy the saw_mill.wav to saw_mil1.wav to fix that error.

I too did the sound fix they described and the game worked fine at first but when i placed a sawmill and clicked on it it crashed. Error something like sawmillwav1

Crashes as soon as i click on an industry

The fix works but I still get a crash on sawmills !

can confirm that the fix described by @OnlyZero below works.

just copy all the .WAV files from install directory /res/audio/effects/construction/industry.

and paste them to res/audio/effects

i too get an error

Exception type: Error reading file

File name: res/audio/effects/coal_mine.wav

this happened when i clicked on a iron ore mine.

Or just copy them from C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Transport Fever 2\res\audio\effects\construction\industry to the res/audio/effects/ folder.

Anyone getting the error reading file, find the game location and just copy an other wav file and rename it to the missing file.

Game keeps crashing when i try to click on an industry

Error Reading FIle, res/audio/effects/goods_factory.wav

Crash

possible to revert to old version until the bug can be found?

rip

I revised all the industry and files and changed the audio file references, maybe I made a mistake on one of them; i'll recheck them when I can, but if others can hint me to errors it might be faster

crashes when you try to click on any industry

Also getting the same audio file crash issue when selecting industry buildings. Mauporte, is there anything we can do to help?

Crash

would love to try this mod since is seams really intresting, sadly it crashes when you try to click on any industry

still crashes when any industry is selected

It now appears to be crashing when ANY industry is selected.
