Description:
Features
  • capacity (per platform) for waiting cargo at stations/stops will be multiplied by configurable coefficient
  • each transport mode has own multiplying coefficient
  • configurable by CommonApi2 GUI
  • alternative configuration by changing values in then file settings.lua in the mod directory (steam/steamapps/workshop/content/1066780/1967619462)

For all modes of transport
  • Train station
  • Truck station
  • Cargo harbor
  • Airport

Default values
Mode of transport
Multiplier
Train station
1x (=original settings)
Truck station
2x
Harbor
2x
Airport
3x

Capacity of train station not changed by default, because there is a mod for more "realistic" variant: Enhanced train station cargo capacity

Bonus feature

Truck will load/unload at the end of the truck station, not in the middle (configurable)

Using mod

When you change settings using CommonApi2 (or by editing settings.lua), it takes effect only after reloading the game.

Changes will not affect already built station – you will need to manually modify them or you can upgrade then at once by ‘Bulk upgrader for stations/industries’ mod.
Same apply for adding mod to the existing game

Warning

Settings are global for all saved games, you can’t have different multipliers for distinct saves.

As mod doesn’t ovewrite original game files, it should be compatible with other mods.

Recommended mods

CommonApi2 – for easy settings

Enhanced train station cargo capacity – more proper variant of this mod for train station – increasing capacity by adding more cargo platforms near the track. (Can be combined with this mod)

Bulk upgrader for stations/industries – upgrade stations/industry buildings at once (useful for applying changes after installing a new mod)
