Kalklinbanan Car

Description
Forsby-Köping limestone cableway (Kalklinbanan Forsby-Köping) is a historic cableway in central-ish Sweden. Operating from 1939 - 1997 (decommissioned 2013-ish).

This adds the Kalklinbanan Cableway Car as a Cableway vehicle purchasable from Sweden using USD.

Nothing too fancy, weighs 2t, holds 6t (Aggregates). These numbers are unrealistic as I don't know the weight of the actual car and 5t carrying capacity makes it more useful in-game than the realistic 1.2t.

Update (capacity|weight):
- 2 Light varients (1.2t|0.5t, 2.4t|1t)
- 2 Heavy variants (6t|2t, 12t|3t)


Known issues:
- Steep slopes visually offset the bucket incorrectly from the trolley (Working on it, idk if I can fix this)
- Resource visualization inside bucket is square (hey, looks good from a distance still).


Visuals and information are based off various links below.

That would be great. I do get the impression that cableways as a whole are undervalued.

@vimes sorry for not getting back to you on this sooner, brain here there and everywhere.

I am currently trying to work on more models and types of cableway/aerial tramway cars for at least early game (Im looking at starting a 1800s extremely hilly map and roads are... impractical, but aerial tramways have been around for thousands of years! Wish there was a cheaper non-steel variant in the game not requiring research but more maintenance and only light cargo.)

@bastardo yes if they make it moddable.

The game allows us to use a light cable car to move various waste types, it is used via the cable car passenger type station that now has a factory connection.
any chance of a heavy variant of those light cars...?

Thanks

Can you make round concrete masts?

@KarolOfGutovo go for it always want more cablecar stuff~

If there are other things you want me to mod in just ask too! Generally only just started off 3d modeling and I find it fun, though slow. Im just hoping more moddability for cablecar related things comes.

Sorry for spamming this comment section, but I just wanted to ask if I can take the files of your mod to use as a base for making my own cablecar mod. Hope I'm not being too annoying

Actually it seems like this is the first modeled cablecar mod (excluding a certain, since rightly removed, joke)

Lovely! It's kinda annoying how few cable car mods there are for this game, so I'm very happy to see this
