Description:

As you have probably experienced very often, building streets, tracks, stations and other objects can be very annoying if there are many collision warnings in a densely built-up area. For assets/constructions, this can be bypassed using "skipCollision=true", so you can build despite the collision, but don’t get any feedback anymore. For streets/tracks this was not possible until now.

Now it is! With Build with collision almost all problems that occur when building streets, tracks and constructions (collision, too much slope, too much curvature), can be ignored. When building a proposal which would normally not be applicable (but is not "critical"), a button Build Anyway is displayed.

  • For streets and tracks, the button appears next to the cursor as with "Track/Street Builder Info". Eventually with collisions and unwanted snapping, you have to work with the "new shift key" (default: C).
  • For constructions/assets, just click right mouse!
  • Upgrades can now also be done with a simple right click.
  • Bulldoze with collision. Sometimes the game doesn’t allow bulldozing (e.g. bridge pillar collision), which can be bypassed now. DON’T use it when vehicles are isolated or in a depot!

This opens up completely new possibilities for Schönbau. In addition, you don’t have to turn off collision or change track parameters, you can still detect issues, but allow them specifically. On the other hand, you are then responsible for the collisions on overlapping traffic lanes.
With this, tracks on streets, streets on airports and many other ideas are possible.
Therefore, it would be great if other modders would develop special streets/tracks for this! (e.g. invisible streets, streets with placeholder areas for streetcar tracks, tracks lowered to street level, …)

Thanks for all the positive feedback! I did not expect that the mod gets so popular. Here a few mods that have been building up on this:
