Chinook
Chinooks for Deliveries, Exports, Garbage, Intake and Emergencies!
Do I need to say more?
Place 1 Deliveries Tower on the map and up to 6 Deliveries Helipads.
Features:
– You can close any Helipad with a button on the Tower.
– You can control which Helipad gets what type of cargo delivered: Food Distribution, Laundry Distribution, Workshop Materials, Building Materials, Floor Materials or Other.
– You can have Automatic or Manual deliveries: in Auto mode, no trucks will ever come on the road and everything goes by air transport. In Manual mode, trucks will still appear, but you can press a button to teleport its cargo to the Tower and delete the truck.
Place 1 Intake Tower together with up to 6 Intake Helipads, and do the same for prisoners! You can also order extra prisoners if you want, for all security levels of course. You can even cancel your order, as long as no chinooks are airborn.
Place as many Exports Helipads on the map as you like to have cargo exported from specific spots in the prison. This one does not require a Tower to function. You can also zone a bit of it as Garbage area. Chinooks can export default materials as well as stuff from my other mods like Cemetery (1.0 and 2.0), Explosive ‘Smart’ Phones, Limo Garage (1.0 and 2.0), Manufactury (2.0 and 3.0), Prison Lottery, Recycling (2.0 and 3.0), Servers and More, Tesla-Matic 2.0 and Vending Machines. As long as 3rd party mods use stacks or boxes to export, they can go onto the Chinooks as well.
You will find various Emergency Helipads in the Staff menu. Place such a helipad anywhere on the map, then open the Emergencies menu and click on the corresponding callout. A Chinook will deliver the emergencies at ease. Yes, you can drop riot police or soldiers right on top of a cellblock if you want. And yes, you can call the Chinook Firebrigade to take care of that burning kitchen as well! You can even specify if they need to do a Fly By or a Drop Off, where the fireman will get out of the Chinook with their hoses so you can control them manually.

The grants will work as a little tutorial to help you start. First thing to do after loading this mod is to start with the Chinook Deliveries grant. It will guide you through placing the various helipads and learn you how to control a fire.
Since this mod needs a Helipad and modifies the tileset.png, it would have been a waste if some other mods with floor materials wouldn’t be included as well, since you can have only one mod altering the floors at the same time. So various floormods have been merged into this one, including Cemetery, Deployment Lines, Materials+ and C.U.R.B. which is made into materials instead of objects, and you also get various bonus fences which can be used to replace a wall from a foundation (some of them at least).
This mod is compatible with Advanced Roads and Limo Garage. But if you want to use all, then place this one on top of those two mods in the menu. The correct order should be:
1. Chinooks
2. Limo Garage
3. Advanced Roads
-If you do it another way it will NOT work.
-If you have another mod which is scripting the SupplyTruck or PrisonerBus and place it above this mod, then this mod will NOT work.
Prisoner of War – New Regular Edition
If you want to use this mod together with the PoW mod: place Chinook on top of your mods list in the menu, then go to Options, click on Open Save folder and quit the game. Navigate to the ‘mods/972714434/data’ folder, rename sprites.png to sprites-old.png and sprites—pow.png to sprites.png Start your game again and the trucks will be changed to military style.
‘Chinook’ is based on the ancient Aviation mod. Without it, this mod would not have existed. It gave much inspiration and made it grow into the huge beast it is now. Some small generic parts of that ancient mod still exist in the backbone, but a whole new body has grown around it.
If you are using another mod which is touching tileset.png then you will have no helipad floortiles. If this is the case then try to reorder your modslist or disable the interfering mod.
