Transfer Manager CE v3.0.67

Modifies the vanilla Transfer Manager to prefer closer transfers. ie Garbage trucks will go to nearby buildings first to collect garbage rather than travelling all the way across the city to get the garbage at some distant building.

---

• Improved matching algorithms
  
• Allows low level control over a buildings transfers based on district, building and distance restrictions
  
• Improved Import / Export controls including import restrictions, export vehicle limits and outside connection distance multipliers so one connection or connection type can be preferred over another.
  
• Improved goods delivery options including factory first and warehouse first along with many other options allows you to organise your deliveries just how you want them
  
• Supports using path matching to improve matches when your geography or network is complex.
  
• Multi-threaded for better in-game performance.
  
• Generic industry, DLC industry and commercial buildings can now re-request IN material when they have no material in storage and the responding truck(s) are still a long way away.
  
• Vehicle AI - Enhances service vehicles to look for close by issues to resolve, so for example if a garbage truck is out at a building collecting garbage and another building next door also has garbage it will pick that up as well. (Service vehicle AI supported: FireTruckAI, FireCopterAI, GarbageTruckAI, PoliceCarAI and PoliceCopterAI)

This mod features 4 matching algorithms that have been carefully crafted for each transfer reason:

• Match Incoming First
  
• Match Outgoing First
  
• Balanced (most similar to vanilla)
  
• Priority only

By carefully selecting the right match mode for each transfer type this mod is able to produce much better matching results.

I have written a brief overview of the main features and how to use them here.
There is also a brief explanation of the Transfers tab.

The original idea for this mod was by pcfantasy and his More Effective Transfer Manager

Unfortunately he stopped working on it so another developer Cambrium started a new version, More Effective Transfer Manager (continued). Sadly after doing lots of great things with the mod he decided to introduce some malicious code into the mod and was booted off the workshop along with his mod. Discussion

This left lots of subscribers in the lurch as they could no longer use what had become quite a nice mod. I was asked if I would be willing to reboot this mod so that people could continue to play the game with its features. This is the result.

• More Effective Transfer Manager
  
• Transfer Controller
  
• Transfer Manager CE [TEST]
  
• Configure Outside Connections' Limits - This mod now allows changing outside connection capacity limits so both mods will be trying to change the same values
  
• Call Again - Transfer Manager CE does all that Call Again does and lots more and they will just get in each others way.

Note: While Advanced Outside Connection is currently listed as compatible with this mod, we have found that the mod tends to produce double offers for outside connections when altering the ratio values that may cause issues with your game such as overwhelmed outside connections.
