Optimised Outside Connections

Description
Optimised Outside Connections
Compatible with Cities Skylines 1.17 (23nd May Update)

Sick of 7% full cargo trains clogging up your rail network? Got a queue of near-empty cruise ships clogging up your harbours?

Optimised Outside Connections reduces the number of large vehicles (trains, planes and ships) in your city by filling each vehicle more. Mainly applies to large vehicles going to and from outside connections, but it also affects cargo trains within your city.

These vehicles will wait 4 times as long to collect cargo before appearing at the map edge or at stations. You can increase this even more in the options, but factories and power stations might run out of supplies. It only applies to large vehicles, not trucks or cars.

Tip: if you have Industries DLC, put a warehouse near power stations to help give them consistent supplies!

Also has options to remove dummy traffic (vehicles that go straight from one outside-connection to another) for each of road traffic, trains, planes and ships. These options remove both cargo and passenger dummy traffic. Please note that it can take some time for dummy traffic to stop spawning.

Optimised Outside Connections uses Harmony[github.com]. It can be safely disabled or uninstalled at any time. Thanks to Deeheks, Leader of the Monkeys[www.twitch.tv] and Strictoaster for testing, and to boformer for lots of technical help. This project would not exist without boformer's expertise.

Everyone's thoughts on traffic in version 1.14?

This mod doesn't solve the issue where intercity trains spawn in my station each one by one, but it does work for outside connections only.. rip

Still works and reduces the numbers of freight trains to a realistic level.

@TsukiRunsu it works, the mod just increase wait time, nothing else

Does this mod still work? Sick of the fact that my cruise ships only have 3 people in it.

I'm also seeing NO intercity buses as others have commented, but passenger/cargo trains seem to work fine for me with this mod enabled.

Has anyone else encountered the problem that intercity trains don't spawn?

the same issue - no intercity buses

this mod was not allowing intercity buses to spawn. Once I un-subscribed to it they spawned

All of my buildings became invisible when enabling this mod.
