Expanded Trailer Combinations

Description
This mod adds rear 'hooks' to all ownable trailer chassis allowing for more variety in ownable multi combination trailers.

The Lodeking trailer DLC is supported but not required to use this mod.

If you find a bug while using this mod please report it! The mod is too large for me to effectively test every combination and accessory for each update. If you do find a bug please leave a detailed report in the comments (exact body and chassis used etc). I investigate every reported issue!


As there are hundreds of combinations in this mod, listing them all is impractical. Supported combinations generally include:

32ft STAA Doubles (permitted in all states)
32ft Triples
Up to 53ft front trailer, 32ft rear trailer RMD's
53ft TPD's with 3 Axle Dollies
TPD's of all supported trailers types.

Unique chassis/combinations added in this mod:
All Trailers:
3 axle dolly TPD's (except Container and Livestock)

Box Trailers:
53ft Spread axle

Bulkfeed trailers:
32ft chassis

Container trailers:
STAA Double Expandable trailers. This combination can be set to STAA, RMD or TPD on the fly!

RMD's using Flatbed trailers.

Flatbed trailers:
Spread axle B trailer
4 axle B trailer
32 ft spread axle trailer

For those who want to run these combinations including any stock game combinations anywhere in the game please download this mod as well: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2011749938

This mod is not compatible with TMP due to using custom game assets. Sanguinem Luna
has a TMP version listing every possible combination compatible with TMP. Please do not ask Sanguinem Luna for more combinations as they can not create them with stock game assets. Find it here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1616377353

Sanguinem Luna has also created an extended B-Double mod for ATS which can be using alongside this mod. Find it here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1859803083.

Got a screenshot of your favourite combination? Post a link in the comments! It's great to see what combinations other players like.

Known Bugs:
Container Trailers: The expandable trailers are all listed as STAA Doubles. This allows the combination to be changed from STAA, RMD and TPD between jobs using the F7 Trailer Configuration function.
Dropdeck Trailers: You must manually select the hook rear bumper for the 1st trailer.
Log Trailers: Do not jack knife the dolly. This may cause it to clip inside the hitbox of the log trailer resulting in truck and trailer damage as well rolling the combination over.
Lodeking trailer: You must manually select the hook rear body for the 1st trailer.

HEllo! Can you add smal B-Train combinations and no restrictions for it:steamsad: ???

I noticed that on the triple 32ft "cooler" trailers, the green light only lights up on the last trailer when they're loaded. Could you please check all the refrigerated trailers.

The side skirt on the left side also includes options that have a hole for the refrigeration units fuel tank. This is not needed on the right side.
Invisible cargo is most likely due to you running my Flatbed Containers mod which I have flagged as broken.

The reefer has a bug on the "chassis front" upgrade: there are 6 options on the left side and only 4 in the right side. Also some cargos are invisible in the 53" flatbed. Thank you very much for this mod, man!

Bro, a suggestion, what if you add chassis variants of the lowboy trailer?

gotcha, and thanks. currently one of my favorite mods is breaking my favorite DLC so I haven't played in a while lol.

The containers are from another mod of mine which is also broken. I will try to fix them at some point and update the loadking trailers for this mod.

I believe this is making the container cargo invisible as well as breaking the flatbed trailers.

Some cargos inviseble. Need update.
