Population Factor is released now: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2036235984

I created a thread to get information about population development and your experience/wishes/problems, please write there, so I can know what a mod in TPF2 should do: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/app/1066780/discussions/0/1746771831502556911/

I need tf2 this mod. Plz...

obviously, tf2 needs this mod more than tf. ready to support financially.

Well, of course I am gonna buy TPF2 and see how things have been improved. Maybe some mods won't be necessary anymore.

tell me, do you plan to make the same mod for transport fever 2?

Thanks! So I have a save where I was over the limit in the mod. Once enabled, the populations seems to still increase, but not as quickly. New/renewed buildings are not being reset to a population of 1...

"-The number or appearance of buildings is not affected, only the capacity."

Hi, just wondering if the population limiter on this means that larger buildings (skyscrapers) will not be built?

If the population is over the limit, new building get capacity 1, that's it. There is no way for mods, to influence where and how many to build.

Thanks noted, so I'd wonder if the new building will build quicker as when the limit reached? As the buildings are in lower population and the population decrease, the buildings will continue to build?

No, if the limit has not been reached, the mod has no influence

Hi I'm a newbie here. Does it make the cities build and spread quicker if I set the population limit higher without any building parameter change?

Well this should not be because of this mod

Does your mod affect the game when it's not turned on? After subscribing (but not turning on) number of people on my map started to fall, while mod wasn't turned on.

You have to wait till the game replaces the buildings but you can speed it up (see description)

How do you use the mod once it's loaded in the saved game?

Ja, wenige große Städte, das ist auch mein Ziel. Ich habe aber den Baualgorithmus noch nicht wirklich durchschaut. Weiß jemand ob Städte durch natürliches Wachstum beliebig groß werden?

Man kann die Verteilung des Verkehrs auch noch SEHR stark beeinflussen wenn man mehr Straßenverbindungen zwischen den Städten baut - was in bestimmen Bereichen für eine große Entlastung und so bei heranzoomen die Performance verbessern kann

Auch interessant: Wenn man nur von einer Gebäudegruppe (zb Wohnhäuser), die Kapazitäten verringert werden von diesen mehr gebaut - dadurch werden die städte größer. Die Bus-/ Straßenbahnlinien werden dadurch länger um alle Gebäude gut erreichen zu können und wenn die Städte groß genug werden lohnen sich vlt innerstädtische Züge. Bin da noch am herum probieren...

VacuumTube. Many thanks I will check it out later. Cheers.

Thanks for explaining. If I understand correctly, your mod will allow the towns to grow, whilst at the same time restricting the population by making each house a One Person family. That seems like a better solution to me. I might try it on my Greater Berlin map.

Ok, if so many of you want more people, I will think about another mod

@Brigido Walmsley N62 this would mean to either force the people to use your lines or force them to stay home, which I don't think is possible. What you can do is, to try building modded streets that don't allow cars.

@juliejayne that mod uses a different approach by editing the game.config values, but most of these settings have only an influence when creating a new game. The other settings such as maxTownSize didn't work really well on my tested savegames.

@ibloor77 the mod folder is usually at this location: SteamLibrary\steamapps\workshop\content\446800\1831611110 and the lua file is in res\scripts

Es wäre wünschenswert, wenn man den Maximalwert bei jeder Stadt einzeln anpassen kann --> damit auf einer Karte sowohl Grossstädte, als auch kleine Dörfer (die nicht unendlich wachsen) vorhanden sind! :)

Defeats the purpose of the game

How does this differ from the mod from GrandT Massive Map Settings
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1376047700

Is there a way to make it so cars wont spawn, but everything else will remain the same?

It's in the workshop folder, not the mod folder.

Hi. Thanks, excellent mod, the game probably needed this from day 1, however i cannot locate the lua to increase the capacity above 10000. any help please. Thanks again.

Kann man das prinzip auch andersherum anwenden? so dass mehr Leute unterwegs sind?

lmao i need this mod the other way around

Can you do a mode for the other way around? I have the problem that the max pupolation of the towns in my maps do not exeed 300. I don't know why, but the city do not really growth after that point. I have tried on different maps with always the same issue...

I'm waiting for the possibility to set each town to a different limit, so I can hav one larg-still growing city and others that stay small like a village in the country. Anyway, If I ever come to the time my population is growing out of hand, I'll com back to your mod.

Very useful mod, it works well, after a while the game has better performance. Thank you very much for your work and share with the community.

Open the file res/scripts/adjustTownBuildingCapacity.lua in the mod folder. Then you see something like capacity=100 which you can uncomment and assign any value. Every new building will then have a capacity for e.g. 100.

Some of us want cities with a population WAY BIGGER that what we have. Are you able to produce a mod that allows for a larger population? Cheers
