Nahan’s Transportation Overhaul
Greetings! And thank you for your interest in my mods
This mod addresses some key issues with the way infrastructure and transportation work in game (more info on the issues below) by changing the way the transportation good is used and produced, while at the same time improving railroads:
– Pops can now only consume transportation to fulfil their movement needs
– Urban Centres now include a Local Transportation PM, which generates small amounts of transportation from grain (horses), wood (wagons) and later automobiles (cars and trucks), the infrastructure bonus from lighting has been moved to this PM
– Public Transit PMs has been expanded to include the path from horse-drawn omnibuses to electric powered metro systems to buses. Those PMs now reduce the workforce needed and produce extra services
– Rural buildings that consumed transportation now utilise engines and coal
– Tweaked inputs on railroads to improve profitability and changed rail car PMs from adding more transportation (which was only decreasing price) to reducing the workforce (thus improving productivity)
– Improved railroads by adding a larger output (infra and transportation) so that less railroads need to be built and they have better profitability
Overall, this should mean that supply and demand for transportation match more neatly as only pops consume transportation and infrastructure producers supply it. It should also get the profitability and construction of railroads to make more sense.
This mod works as a standalone but it’s made even better by my transportation collection:

Also, those are still work in progress, and feedback is much appreciated (specially in terms of balance). I try to make my mods very light, preserve most of vanilla where possible.
