Is the patch out yet? I didn't think it was coming until tomorrow. That's why I was surprised to see this mod disabled. I figured it might be made incompatible/obsolete when the next update goes live but wasn't expecting it to stop working today. FWIW I saw a huge increase in nearly empty trains and ships massively clogging up my tracks and rivers, so I am guessing that the patch is not live yet.

It's due to go live at 9am GMT, but I won't be able to update then.

Yes please keep Remove Dummy Traffic going, within minutes passers through are clogging up the freeways again!!

@Qubold - At the very least, please keep the remove dummy traffic options. They are really useful for stopping my highways and train tracks from clogging up!

The patch is live, and my first impressions are that your mod is still very much needed and very useful. Dummy traffic is as bad as it ever was, and I have little reason to believe the big vehicles will be as optimised as they were with your mod. (The small stuff I can see right now, like box trucks, is running anywhere from 2-90% load.)

I'll be testing that but it'll be a little while -- I've started a new city rather than loading any of my old ones pending an update (hopefully) for the Loading Screen mod.

As Ysharros said, your mod is very much needed. I opened my world today and after a while of playing all this 7-13% cargo and 1-30 passenger trains started to spawn. I'm not sure if it is only case with me, but also since dummy traffic returned to life, game started to lag a lot (my city have 260k pop) and it is literally freezing in time every 1-3 seconds. I'm pretty sure that this is caused by game spawning all this dummy traffic (especially trains) so i think that all options that were in mod are still needed.

Can we make the factory full and then send the truck

Just to reinforce what other players are already saying above... Your mod is definitely needed!

I don't know what improvement on outside connections the devs did (well, at least they say they did), but it seems like they did nothing.
After load and 15 min after, I see all freight (train, plane and ship) leaving without even 50% of cargo. The traffic is crazy and unrealistic and at least half of it is dummy traffic.
I just hope you can easily patch your mod to work with the new version.

Thanks again for all your effort.

From what the Devs said they only maxed out the passenger planes and tweaked them to have full capacity, if possible. Passenger planes seem fully loaded when they come in my game.

*Cargo Trains seem to be the big issue. I see a lot of them and they have as small % full.
*Cargo Planes, also. They come in not full maxed out.

*Postal Trucks coming in are like 13% full for me. So they tend to clog street up. I do not know if this mod would cover them or your Rebalanced Industry mod.

I will report back if I find anything else.

Yeah I am having some Cargo Planes coming in with 0%

I think the major offenders right now are the Cargo Trains spamming and coming in with low % and second offender the Cargo Planes with some 0% full.

Thank you everyone, very interesting! For now, I have re-added the the dummy traffic removal feature. The other features will take more time.

Yes the whole mod is still needed, cargo trains have gone back to the old crazy lots of them with tiny loads causing train jams.
Cant believe the base game is even functional like this, so frustrating.
As soon as you get a chance any improvement will be much appreciated!
Dummy traffic already appreciated, I built a bypass but still half those dummy's still drove through the middle of town!!
Thanks again

Cargo trains traffic are back with mostly 7% or 13%. I've seen some lower ones. It's not the same without this mod. This mod virtually removed all my cargo train traffic.

I guess the vanilla game only change the way to handle outside connection for passenger, but not cargo. Maybe the optimization for cargo can be re-implemented?

Yeah have to agree, we need the entirety of the mod, which i'm sure means extra work. sorry!
