could you make a mod that only adds mail?

how do I get it to work? in dint have any new buildings, goods etc. May it be incompatible with any other mods?

@jm764 The Mail retexture will work with Industry DLC, but the New Industry Mail Expansion mod is not going to be updated for Industry DLC, as the mod "Mail Add-On For Cargo" is fully compatible with Industry DLC already.

Will this and the retexture pack be updated for the last Industry DLC update?

@timothyguymartin Please see my previous comment for an explanation as to why that is not possible with the way this mod functions, as well as a link to a Mail Add-On mod which may achieve your desired results.

Very nice mod - thank you. Is it possible to: add the Swiss Post sliding wall vans? Add another small road van (preferably the WV FedEx) I have used the 'golden' Transit but as you can't change the colour it gets a bit muddily! Thank you again for your work on this part of the game.

Thank you so much for the reference to that other mod! Very helpful!

@Nick B.[US] Unfortunately, it's not possible as the Box-type vehicles are only referenced because of their compartments. If the Mack AC doesn't have compartments, this mod is unable to add mail to it. There are other American trucks that are available for mail transport, such as the Peterbilt, I believe.

For those purposes, please see this mod:

You need to update this and add mail to ALL the road trucks, the Mack AC for example, etc. There are no American road vehicles that support mail on the workshop so I have had to go and use the Russian Mail Transport Pack for now because of this. The horse and carrage is great until you get the Mack.

You are absolutly right!

@spam.this
I'm happy to hear everything is working for you and that you aren't experiencing any issues.

We're already talking about two different things as you haven't installed the Post mod, which is a dependency according to the Mail Add-on for Cargo page, and as evidenced in the comments, is making many users' games crash as a result.

Secondly, I don't believe those dedicated post waggons you mention are added by New Industries 2.54 as you said. Those are probably Russian Mail pack or other packs, and have nothing to do with Mail Add-on for Cargo as they already have Mail in their cargo lists.

The only thing Mail Add-on for Cargo does is add Mail as a cargo type for anything that carries Goods, which would include boxcars as well.

The issue is that the mod page for Mail Add-on for Cargo explicitly states it depends on two mods that can crash your game when used together, which I have tested and confirmed.

I'm not arguing it doesn't work, I'm saying this is a simple solution.

Really? I play it with "New Ind." with no problems. except the loading order of the mod has to be at the end. I have never used the standalone post mod.

Mail is balanced differently and dedicated post waggons carry much more units then boxcars, but that is the cahllange :).

Alright, I've done a bit of testing with von nown's 'Post Mod', and there seems to be a problem with the Era B and Era C Post Office Industry buildings included in that mod. Creating these buildings returns a "Terminals Not Connected" error, and will force the game to close unless running in debug mode.

When using debug mode, you can get around this issue, and things appear to be alright with 'New Industry 2.54', 'Post Mod', and 'Mail Add-on for Cargo' mods active. Even with debug mode active, the errors will pop up in a very jarring way, interrupting gameplay - except they won't force the game to close.

TL;DR

'Mail Add-on for Cargo' is a great mod, but it relies on 'Post Mod' according to the Steam page.
'Post Mod' has assets that may crash/interrupt your game.
'New Industry Mail Expansion' is for users who aren't using 'Post Mod'
Col0Korn  [author] 23 Jul, 2018 @ 1:48pm 
@spam.this yes, it appears that this mod functions in a very similar way, though it is based solely on New Industry. For von nown's Post Mod with Sorted/Unsorted mail, it seems that is supported in 'Mail Add-On for Cargo' though I'm seeing recent users reporting something with that isn't working as intended, and people reporting balancing issues with the Post mod itself. I haven't had time to check these mods out for myself.

The purpose of this is to be a standalone alternative that doesn't require Post Mod, and works with no reconfiguration.

That said, I wouldn't recommend using 'Mail Add-on for Cargo' together with this mod, as there could be some unexpected results.

Hi,
thanks for some nice addiutions! But does this duplicate the function of the "Mail Add-on for Cargo"?
