Description:

Want to deliver some cargo? Are those containers too clumsy?

Simply grab that crate, toss it into your pickup and off you go!

Or are those puny containers no challenge for your ingenious contraptions and you’re up for a real challenge? Then test your 50m mech on those 15t cable drums for some recreational dodgeball.

Changelog:

Note that you need to start a new savegame for changes to apply!
Old changelogs can be found in the discussion thread.

1.15b Sid Meier (Arid) Islands
All container terminals on the DLC Sid Meier (Arid) Island spawn custom cargo.
There are new routes for small handheld cargo on the new island, to be transported with smaller steam trains or by delivery vans.

New cargo routes:
All container type cargo will have these Trainyards as additional destination:

  1. Brainz Train Yard
  2. Mauve Trainyard
  3. Serpentine Trainyard

From the above Trainyards there are now new supply routes for smaller carge to all Towns/Farms/Villages on the new Sid Meier Islands:

  1. Expo Village
  2. Enzo Kats Village
  3. Qwop Town
  4. Chaykovsky Town
  5. Personaggio Farm
  6. Chris Ranch
  7. Noah Village

I also released my GOMGOM – GPS NAV system, which allows to easily find all cargo terminals around sawyer, plug and play:

Contents

This environment mod will add a variety of cargo objects, ranging from an in game mass of 25, which can be easily carried by hand, up to 15t cable drums which will provide a different challenge for vehicle builders to mull about.

New Cargo Terminals will be added to the Creative Island and Dreimor Airstrip.
These terminals will generate smaller cargo to be delivered to various locations.
An additional cargo terminal for large/heavy cargo has been added to the Dean Hall Quarry.

The default container system has also been enhanced by a 11x11x11 medical crate, a full size 11x11x29 medical container, as well as various cable drums and sewer pipes awaiting to be delivered.

Cargo can be lifted by hand, bigger crates provide mounting points for ropes, electrical connectors as well as sliding grippers to provide improved forklift control.

The 300 and 600 mass medicrates can be dropped with a parachute. The parachute will deploy on its own when no electrical connector is connected and it’s below 150m altitude.
You can also force the parachute to deploy by sending an on signal on channel 1 to any of the crates electrical connectors.

If you’re just starting out and need a forklift or reach stacker you can find their collection in my workshop, as well as a matching generator trailer so you can get started right away!
