please try updating.

Oil Coating Facility in Steelworks seems to be doing nothing?

Hi @Darthducker,

Planning this and will release this on next patch.

Thanks!

Would it somehow be possible to disable the Torrifier and gasifier industries and just have vanilla industries?

Thanks mate,
Great work anyways, your mode just made this game really amazing.
We wanted the extended stations all the time tbh.
Will be looking forward then .

Hi IRO,

Yes only the church extension has its own skin in the station extension.
I do not produce custom models at the moment.

But will update this if I have the time

Thank you

All of them, only "Church" is being textured with its own skin.
All the other extensions are working good , but without textures.
For ex.: 5 extensions are looking the same as default "Basic traffic extension building"
This is the only mod Im currently using for buildings / industry etc... I only have trains and cars.
Textures and models are properly displayed for all of the industry. Very nice !

Hi IRO,

Which station extension are you talking about?

Thanks

Works, but textures and models arenot included for staion extensions ?
Or there is a bug ?

Hi @strategi, this will work with a saved game.

Hello! Please tell me, will this mod work with a saved game, or do I need to start a new game?

Hi @Kaatrav,

Unfortunately, I have no control regarding the text that will show in Mashinky.
Maybe the developers will fix this in the future. But for now all we have is this.

Thanks!

==>>Regarding the long text... I don’t know if this is possible, but maybe you can replace large numbers with abbreviations like 10000 = 10K, 1500 = 1.5K, etc.?
This is not such a big problem (I can’t say about the prices themselves yet, because I haven’t played for a long time, at first I even thought that the mod didn’t work, but it turned out that it was from the second era, and I just started from the very beginning). It’s just that if such a number format is possible, it would be great to use it...

Hello! First of all, thank you very much for this mod!!! He is simply incredible! I played with it on older versions, but at some point I lost interest not specifically in Mashinky, but in general in all games of the similar railway genre, etc. transportation (Railway Empire 1 and 2, Transport Fever 1 and 2, etc.)... Now interest in the game and, accordingly, in your global mod has returned again!!! ==>>

Hi @Reno,

Thank you for your feedback, will look into the food shops as this was created 2 years ago and not updated ever since.

On the extension costs, this is a UI problem, where it cannot show long texts.

food shops seem too OP, since they create all tokens just from food. Very unbalanced in my opinion...

And some extensions are ok if they are not cheap, but if they are pricey, the numbers can't show properly in the UI so often I don't know how much an extension costs, if this is the case (no problem with higher price, just the UI problem)

Does this work if added to an existing save?

Huh, didn't have an update for this old mod on my bingo card. Glad to see it, though!

Hi! After a long time of hiatus, I am back in updating this mod. Expect more updates to come!

Hi, I ran into a problem while progressing to III. epoch, no shops appeared, nor is it possible to build them.

Sadly doesn't seem to work with the latest patch. It creates a bunch of new production lines in shops and industries without any of the new expansions being built. For example the food shop now gives pretty much every resource token by default.

ok

Hi @Jimmy G, It is fine on using this with Bigger factories but I think this mod will not fit with bigger Stations++. Due to limited number of extensions to a station. But you're welcome to try :)

is it smart to use this with
Bigger Factories
and Bigger Stations++

@SoloLevelZeus send you a friend request so that we can write DMs. Maybe we can work together on modding this game.

Copy that! Hope it doesn't crash my game

@FBC-3342A It is still usable at the current version but it is quite outdated given that it is last update last October. I am still planning to update it as I'm currently looking for people who are interested working with me in the mod. Thanks !

Is this mod usable with the current version of the game?

Hi Solo Level Zeus, I patched the building_types.xml and changed all power output from effect="electricity+3" to effect="electricity+10". More than 10 seems not to work, and it only works for powerplants.

I also tried to patch your Torrefier and the Current Gasifyer, which had no effect.

But anyway: this solves a lot of energy problems.

Hi ralf.g.wirth I really appreciate your suggestions and will keep that in mind, but I can only create/code what the game can do. The game at the moment has a lot of limitation so there's only some things that I can do. Anyways thank you and stay safe!

Hmm, okay. If it is not possible to add electricity production to these buildings there are other ways:
- you could add power production to those power plant expansions which don't have one, or maybe increase it where it is possible
- maybe you could take away power consumption from some buildings.
- the extension "Steam Sawmill" (or something like that, I play the German version where it is called "Dampfsägemühle") is a good example for a "hidden" power plant. It converts coal and logs to timber. Maybe you can do something similar for other buildings. In the 19th century it was perfectly normal for factories to have a steam engine power plant building right next to the factory. So maybe the formula "coal + ingredient => product" instead of "electricity + ingredient => product" could solve some problems.

It is all just a matter of balancing.

Hi ralf.g.wirth. I actually thought about adding electricity producing extensions to those industries but sadly I wasn't able to experiment or search if that is possible because as I remember it can make the game buggy. Anyways look forward to some updates to address your concern thanks a lot!

proceeding my previous post, which was denied by steam because commentaries can only be 1000 chars long :


One possibility would be to increase electrical output of the power plants. This may mean that I need new extensions for power plants, or modification of the extensions which are there.

Another possibility would be to reduce power consumption by the extensions in coal mines, the foundry, the steel mill etc.

Or, which would be my suggestion: please add new extensions to certain buildings, like the sawmill, the coal mine, the iron mine or the foundry. These extensions should provide electrical power, instead of using it.

I think it is realistic that these industries have their own built-in power plant, because in real life big industries sometimes have their own power supply too.

Well, I started in Era 1 on a 1024*1024 map and built up several industry chains. There are about 5 Wood Production Chains, 2 Iron and 1 Steel Production Chain and so on. I also added a lot of extensions to coal mines, sawmills, my foundary and the steelworks. All together they consume about 150 units of electricity.

When I advanced to the electrical era, I connected about 5-10 power plants of various types, all together they provide just 75 units of power. This is not enough by far, and I think there are not enough power plants on the map to increase electrical power significiantly. It would also mean that I would have to open more coal mines, which use power to. The power plants which I connected have all extensions which provide more electricity as well, so I cannot boost them any more.

Therefore I need more sources of electrical power. I think with the current configuration it may be impossible to provide enough power to run all industies.

Hi @ralf.g.wirth can you walk me through on what's happening or what's your suggestion? I'm kindda on a hiatus because of the pandemic. Hope you can message me. Thanks a lot and keepsafe!

Having played with this mod, I am running into serious power problems in Era 6. I am doing nothing else than connecting every power plant on the map in order to get enough electicity into my power net. And still after connecting 12 power plants or so my Power Consumtion in the net is like 150/75.

Would it be possible to create some small power plan expansions for some industries? This could help a lot. I am thinking of a power plant for the lumber mill or so. It is easy to get coal there anyway. Also the factory may produce some power. Or is there a limitation of the game that only power plants can provide electricity or something?

@QBanRambo Sorry for the misunderstanding. The earliest custom extension is in the 2nd era. In the early versions of the mod there are numerous upgrades in the 1st era. Sorry if we're not able to update the descriptions. Thank you for the notice!

@Solo Level Zeus cmon man... you are going to make me crazy. Look at your mod description: "Extensions from the 1st Era up to the 6th Era." I was starting from 1st era and always checking coal mine. What extension can I check starting from 1st era to check if mod works successfully?

Hi! @QbanRambo, we've tripled check the whole code and there's nothing wrong with it. We've also checked the current code of the game and there's also no major changes in coding. Also what era are you playing in? All the Coal Mine extension in this mod will show at 5th to 6th era.

@Solo Level Zeus I think your building_types.xml file has invalided characters in the comments section, if you load the file in Vscode you can see errors, same if you load the file in Google Chrome, I get errors in both.

Hi Solo, I just unsubscribed from all mod but this... and nothing, new game... coal, only 3 extentions.

Hi @QbanRambo! Do you have any mods that adds extensions to production buildings? If yes it will have incompatibility due to coding limitation. But if the extensions you have are only new trains, buildings and industries, the mod will still work

Doesn't work for me... for example, coal mine only show me the 3 vanilla extensions, is there any incompatibility mod?

This mod has a lot of expansions, but it makes the whole game much much easier and therefore has little challenge.

Hi again @fw190a8! Unfortunately all our testing computers are of low specs and doesnt meet the requirement for 4096x2160 resolution. The highest resolution we have is around 1920x1080 also testing our mod in the 1024 map using the 1920x1080 resolution resulted in around 50 - 60 fps @ max graphical settings. What you're experiencing is likely that the game is not optimized for that kind of resolution. Also most of the buildings in our mod have higher edges (triangles) than the base game itself, so using it will probably stress your computer more than playing the base game itself. Thank you for your input!

I was using 4096x2160 with no AA... I was playing on the 1024 map, and I notice that by reducing the draw distance, it improves the fps a lot, but some things are not visible when zoomed out! My CPU and GPU are not fully maxed, even when it is running at 8 fps, but I think this is a problem with the base game!

Hi @fw190a8! What graphic settings are you using? Are you using the max graphics settings? Also what is the size of your map? We've been testing testing this mod since the city update and so far we're not lagging in the 500x500 map, 6th era. We hope we can resolve your issue thank you!

While I appreciate the idea behind this mod, it's unplayable on i9-9800 and 1080 Ti, reaching 8 fps by era III. The base game continues to run smoothly at 60 fps in all eras.

If you can get the frame rate to stay consistent, or even just suffer a minor dip, it would be worth checking this mod out. In its current state, beyond the 2nd era, it's not playable unfortunately.

dose thin incloed stashins and if so is this still geting worked on
