Cargo visibility fix for Expanded production chains mod
Expanded production chains mod adds many interesting cargo types to the base game, but many of the wagons that come from other mods can’t display that cargo properly, resulting in wagons travelling empty. This is mod attempts to fix this issue.
There are 3 categories of wagons:
1. Container wagons – all of these wagons should work automatically for all cargo types once the mod is loaded.
2. Flat wagons with stakes – these should work automatically, but if you encounter a mod that doesn’t – please let me know in the comments.
3. Open wagons (gondola-like) – these require mod-specific fixes, due to the way cargo is displayed in them. If you have a mod that you’d like to add – please let me know in the comments.
The following open wagons are currently supported by this mod (Steam mod id in brackets):
– Faals 150 (2319829899)
– Facs 124 (2823382419)
– Faals 151 and the Falrrs 153/152 (2324339494)
– Falns 121 (2139705738)
– Generic British Freight Wagons v4 – 1840-1910 (3236981041)
– Máv Tadgs (2181973903)
– Open Freight Cars DB/DR (2911321060)
– ZSSK Cargo Es / Eas / Eaos / Eanos (3041246286)
This mod doesn’t overwrite any of the existing mod files, but modifies their definitions when they get loaded. For that reason this mod must be loaded after the Expanded production chains mod and before any other wagon mods. This mod can be safely added and removed from existing saves, as it doesn’t store any state.
Asphalt fix – the defintion of asphalt (as a cargo) in the Expanded production chains mod doesn’t allow it to be correctly displayed inside the gondola-like wagons. This mod overrides that definition so asphalt is displayed correctly.
