Amazing work! Thanks

Very nice. Thank you!

Thank you!

thank you!

thank you

Great mod!

I'm glad you like it.

This is great, but what happened to the Schmitz Cargobull trailer from TpF for coal, it was better designed than this one...

I agree with you that Schmitz Cargobull trailer is much better then this one, but I can't use it.
In TpF1 visible cargo was in object itself (trailer) and in TpF2 all cargo objects are global.
The cargo space in Schmitz Cargobull trailer is diamond-shaped with rounded bottom part (picture bellow), and TpF2 cannot display it. TpF2 can show only rectangle. So, I need rectangle trailer and current one is the best I can use...

Mod updated to version 1.2

- added running lights (headlights & rear lights)
- trucks grouped in variations list

No, unfortunately that is not possible. Read a few posts above - I explained why I could not use Schmitz Cargobull trailer.

Nice one!

Nice mod but i think we must change capacity for example oil in one truck can be 25 or 30 because in one truck is only oil, and can take more. Trucks who can take all capacity take 20 but rest 25,28 or 30.

Capacity in whole Train/Transport Fever games has been a big mess since the beginning.

It is my opinion that the capacity of passenger vehicles should be exactly as high as the vehicle has seats. Some share it with 4, some with 2, some devise their algorithms... but, general rules does not exists.

Same is with trucks... If the truck has the capacity to carry 40 tons, then the capacity in the game should be 40.

But, I repeat, the discussion about this has been going on from the beginning of these games...

By default all industry cargo got a weight of 1200 per unit - that is 1200 kg per cubic metre.

Some mods already change that, like
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/ ... 1951335527
https://www.transportfever.net/filebase ... ndustries/

Examples:
Planks are 528 kg per m³
Plastic 1250 kg per m³
Iron ore 2400 kg per m³
Coal 1350 kg per m³
Steel 7900 kg per m³
Tools 2950 kg per m³

These values acknowledge that not all goods are solid cubes, some got a lot of air gaps inbetween the single items, like one cubic metre of tools is including packaging and air gaps - not equivalent to a solid block of steel.

The heavier cargo types combined with 4x cargo capacity makes trains realistically heavy.
This makes it necessary to carefully plan the tracks.
And the use of old english locomotivces in early game (more experience in engineering, more power, more speed) - as it was done in reality as well also in the middle of Europe (so that's not cheating).

I also have to use a mod that increases the amount of cargo the train station platforms can carry.


For Tpf1 there was a mod that got a dedicated table for replacing values - not just a generic script.
It was https://www.transportfever.net/filebase ... entry/2872

Its main purpose was not to "just" change the cargo capacity or "just" change the cargo weights - it added two new parameters:
maxWeight and maxVolume
So a truck could have a maxWeight of 40 tons but also a maxVolume of let's say 31 m³
So it was only able to carry a low amount of heavy goods like steel but a much higher amount of goods like plastic.

Hopefully a mechanic like this will also come back to Tpf2 with a new version of that mod.

Mod updated to version 1.3

- added neutral tank trailer
- changed containers and restored vanilla cargo items

Note: MAN container trailer will use DMA containers, but mod will not replace original game cargo objects.

Important: when you updating mod - delete old mod folder first and then extract new files from latest mod .zip file!

Mod updated to version 1.4
- added new trailers: Schmitz Cargobull for coal/iron/stone
- added ADR signs on tank trucks/trailers
- updated tank trailers (two compartments instead of single one)
- updated cargo (containers and coal/iron/stone are independent models)
- updated capacity (32 units)
- fixed version menu

IMPORTANT: Minimum game version for updated wagons: Version 28772 (May 6, 2020)

Great Work. Thanks a lot!
