Description
Small Cargo Dock

Functions as a Cargo Harbor. Large ships look wonky and might run aground; best used with the Red and Blue fishing boats that function as cargo ships.

If you don't want big ships from other towns docking here from your main shipping line, use Ship Line from More Network Stuff so that it only connects to another cargo harbor, that way you can control the spawning of cargo ships using Service Vehicle Selector 2.

Designed for Real Construction mod as a way to get Construction and Operation Resources to islands; set as a resource generator for that mod so that it can build on an island without requiring Construction Resources. See Real Construction guide for more details.

Credit: model borrowed from Fisherman Docks.

With the cargo barges mod seemingly broken permanently this makes a great alternative to the large vanilla cargo harbor. This will be the asset to save my archipelago map!:steamthumbsup:

One more imprtant thing to know: if you have an existing asset which is CargoHarborAI, you can go to Barges options in asset editor and it provides a button to automatically patch all fields. All you'll have to do after that is to replace the vehicle segments with Ferry Path and adjust the spawn points accordingly (you can use my Advanced Building Editor -> just keep in mind that the cargo spawn/unspawn points are not automatically placed)

I saw two additional ferry paths: dock path and dockway path. I didn't know which one to choose, so I looked at BloodPenguin's harbor and it was using a "Ferry Path". Are these two I couldn't choose from Extra Ferry Components? (I have both it and More Network Stuff and dunno from which each tool comes from)

@Revolver Ocelot, It's probably better to do a version that starts fresh by importing the model using BP's barge harbor template rather than trying to change ItemClass on this existing asset. It might work but it's best to construct it exactly the way it was intended.

Also the default ferry path doesn't seem like a good fit upon testing so I might try a version using one-ways from Extra Ferry Components on either side of the dock.

At least I now tested a scenario: if both warehouses have different goods assigned, can they transport a third different one? Yes they can.

Here I set up a flour dock, a fish dock and put a post office with a sorting facility on the other side. Mail was successfully imported and transported.

Oh dear, how silly I am. I tested the mod all this time with the warehouse option disabled. So when I reactivated it, the warehouse selection boxes were there :P

When I read your comment it came to me that I hadn't tested with the option on.

I though that by using your dock as the asset template and changing some parameters, like itemClass and AI it wouldn't import the warehouse.

I was wrong :P

I have one in testing as well, just want to make sure the pathing is right before releasing. How'd you remove the warehousing option?

I originally borrowed the model from the Fisherman Docks with permission for an old farming extractor building before Sunset Harbor and just kept using it. It's simple enough that it should be fine for another repurposing.

There is one bug with the modification: the barges spawn on the road and get stuck, so I'm using BloodyPenguin's "Land Ship" mod for them to unstuck themselves.

@Ciar Aon, I took the liberty of creating a modified copy of your small dock to use barges. I haven't published on the workshop as I haven't asked your permission. I did this modification as I needed a small barge dock for my tiny isolated islands. It works :)

It is without the warehouse.

Here is a screenshot of one of the islands. It has your Small Cargo Dock on the right side that imports/exports from outside and the modified version on the left, that distributes the cargo the other islands and mainland.

@Ciar Aon You're right, the warehouse functionality is completely independent.
