Property Developer 1850,1920,1990 + Surveyor tool

Description
Place any 1850 vanilla town building

This mod was originally just for era A buildings but on request its been extended to cover all three eras.

The mod can be found under Assets in the buildings or Mad Hatter category.

Options
Type - Residential, Commercial, Industrial - Select type of building to place
Residential - Drop-down list of Residential buildings
Commercial - Drop-down list of Commercial buildings
Industrial - Drop-down list of industrial buildings
Assets - No/Yes - Yes will drop the same asset set for the building as the AI uses when building towns
Capacity - Number of people that live or work in the building

Surveyor tool
A number of requests were made to turn collisions on because the ai was building on top of the placed assets.
This would cause a number of issues - like the buildings wouldn't sit neatly against the pavement etc.
So This tool is an alternative. It allows you to place boundary markers around the building plot.
The AI will not build on top of these.

- I've left the surveyor tool here because I didn't want to break anyone's game however my 'buy the plot' mod does the same thing. (With more post choices)


Options
Posts - Brick, Bush , Tree - What to use as boundary marker
Shape - . - single post
- - two posts the space in between is an invisible barrier that the AI will not cross
# - four posts connected by an invisible barrier that the AI will not cross
Area - 1,2,3,4 - increases the gap between posts
Height - Normal,Half - half - sets the height of the 'post/bush/tree' to half normal height

The last two pictures show the area in the very centre of a large town protected by 'tree' boundary markers.
The very last picture show the same area with hand placed buildings two years after placing.

Notes:
As the building is placed as an asset not as a town building. Clicking on it will not popup the town building menu.
However they do appear to function correctly.

Issues
Because the game seems to adjust the building and asset height to the terrain height when
you click on the menu options. (Not when you place the building) Its a good idea to flatten the area first.

Does this still work?

Two wishes.

-Could you put in a Collision toggle, I have to place buildings then go back and place Boundary markers to prevent AI building

-Could you add a Random function so I could pick an Era and a Category, and maybe a level, then the selections would be random. This would help when building suburbs.

Is it possible to have the buildings demand cargo as well?

I noticed that there is a problem, the asset function does not work! Also, some buildings are not displayed, but instead, the squares are white! Especially the era of B and C. Can this be somehow fixed?

Hello Mad Hatter,

Thank you for the great mod - 9 out of 10 points.

But there is a luxury problem: the dropdown menus. With the many buildings, the selection of buildings is exhausting. Perhaps another solution can be found for this, e.g. a separate button for each building. My mouse wheel will thank you ;)

Thanks and keep it up

Please excuse my bad English

It is such a nice mod, thank you. With all asset mods and country side mod you can build youre entire world.

I notice the asset function is not working?, also some buildings are not showing up but instead a white square box? Do is miss something?

And is it possible just like the country side buildings mod, some people use cars? It is so strange that having a crowded city but no cars?

Do i miss something or need other mods also? :)
