@GrumpyZade would be appreciated, if you can name this mod. I'll look for it anyway. Thanks for the tip.

@rato there's another mod for that (I don't remember the name of it)

Is it possible to extend the mod so that either no freight platform or only one freight platform can be used? I would like to use the station as a marshalling yard – ideally, there would only be parallel tracks and no platforms. The freight would then be transferred invisibly.

@Ariexe the mod has 2 platform types. Only the "hidden cargo" type has no collision and can be built over.

Note uneven ground can cause a collision message if the thing you want to build is trying to create an embankment. Adjusting the height and/or levelling the ground helps.

I have a build with collision mod and that works fine.

how do you build over the platform? I get collision

@[190]Yocto

Thank both of you so much for maintaining this mod!! I just got back to playing TPF2 and was so sad when I spent a week trying to find the mod that hides the cargo/has the ground "platforms" only to see it didn't work. I'm replacing almost all my stations with these now:)

I'm SO happy it works like a charm again :-) THANK YOU both!

Thanks so much for the fix! Working perfectly now, so happy to have it back

Don't worry about it! This never would have gotten an update rolled out if you hadn't taken it on!

Oh ok that works too! Sorry for the messup, I def should've caught that! I mean I've been testing with both test mods for months and knew they used the same filename, but then I fell asleep about what will happen if one gets changed 🤦‍♂️ derp 🥴 Thanks for the rescue! 🙏

Yeah, I just swapped mine to yardframestation and tested with ECS and the other mods in the error messages people posted. Not ideal, but seemed like a faster way to resolve it than looping in a third person. Thanks for all the help! I haven't even had time to play this in a while, so the mod was languishing.

Yeah I guess my tests had ECS loaded first so I didn't catch the conflict.
I just tested it with a modified ECS mod with "yardstation" replaced everywhere with "ecsyardstation" and it works fine with no conflict.
Oh you're renaming yours instead?

It's odd that the issue only arose after the update, but that did it, nice job! I ended up just changing it, seemed easier for everyone.

Ok yeah I see it now too. ECS uses the same yardstationutil.lua filename (which is bad). So it's created a load order conflict that shouldn't exist. Ideally they should use a different filename and then everything is fine. Alternatively could change your filename, it just feels backwards since you had it first lol.

That's from the Austrian Railway Stations mod, according to the mod number from the error message. If I start up a new game with only ECS and the updated version of this mod enabled then I cannot build stations. The update and any other mod I've tried work fine.

That's really strange because I tested with the ECS during development, along with many others.
Any idea what this mod is? kitzsteinhorn_oebb_bahnhof_repaint_1 Looks like a something from TpFnet but I can't find it.

Yeah, I ended up just using your edits without any more changes, they worked perfectly with the mods I thought to test with. The Early Cargo Sheds mod uses the same method for hiding cargo as this one, and so far is the only mod I've found to cause a problem when combined with the update to this one.

Which mod is it?
I missed the update, was it the same files that I sent earlier? I just want to make sure I'm testing the same thing

So far I have only been able to replicate the issue with one other particular mod which does some similar things, it might just be that both need to be updated together to work.

Aw crap I tested the snot out of this too... Sorry! Ok I'll take another look

Thanks for the fast support and the cool mod

OK Thanks

ok I unsubscribed and deleted the mod and resubscribed and now it works again

Did you try unsubscribing and resubscribing to the mod to force an update?

Also, for those having issues, are you subscribed to the Early Cargo Shed mod as well? Looking at the mod numbers in the error logs that seems to be the only one that breaks the functionality with the new version of this. Some of the code for that is based on this mod, so I'll reach out and coordinate an update of both.

So it still doesn't work for me

I've rolled back the update for now. Thanks for posting the errors, I'll download some of the other mods mentioned there and see if they cause errors for me as well.

The same for me:

But the mod worked till today and I added no further mod.
The game crashes when I build a station.

Sorry there was no other way from bottom to top I can hardly build any stations

I'm not seeing any issues using either my local version or the workshop version. Are they just not appearing in the menu? Does it crash when you build something?

Mod not working now since it was updated, cant build any freight stations, even default ones

@RadiKyle Thank you so much for doing that! I'll review it when I have a minute (hopefully this weekend) and post it.

@[190]Yocto hi again, I posted an updated track fix for you in the discussion section. Cheers!

@Blake
First, the performance of this MOD as I understand it
The station's cargo is hidden underground instead of being exposed. This MOD also allows modifications to each platform cargo that is exposed and hidden for each era.
The problem is that if you use this MOD directly to place stations that appear, you will not be able to increase the track.You can add one track, but you can't add more than two tracks. So I first place a freight station in the normal game, then rearrange the tracks and platforms I want to use.
The platform to be placed at this time is the platform by subscribing to this MOD.for ex hidden cargo area

@Blake, not sure what you think is wrong with this, but I use it all the time.

This is really bad there are no actual models and now I can't even place platforms. I am going to report this and hopefully it gets taken down.

Heya @[190]Yocto while working on a mod and fixing some compatibility issue with yours, I think I resolved some errors involving non-vanilla track types (some others mention this below). See discussion post for details and code to fix it. Thanks!

@yocto, loving this mod. However, it appears the cargo platforms don't make use of the space available in the shared cargo buildings. Is this something I can configure myself?

Plattforms dont add Cargo to the Station anymore.. can we please get a little update here?

Any plans to update the mod?

Can include some invisible stairs so people can connect two overlapping stations together?

Love your mod!
Seems like it was broken after recent update and cargo is now shown on hidden cargo platforms too, tried every variant, cargo is just there :(
Hope you'll fix this soon, thank you!

My error occurred while trying to play a modded track through the station configuration. I was able to place the vanilla track sometimes, and sometimes not.

I was simply trying to place the specialised station for this mod, however the error occurred during play and a default grey cube was displayed. wasn't a CTD

I'm not able to recreate that error yet, although I think I've narrowed down what changed in a recent update. Could you let me know what you were doing when the error occurred so I can try to reproduce it and test if I can fix it?
