You bloody genius, these mods are great.

First of all I have to say you make some of the best mods for TF2. I use all your cargo platforms on my maps and several other assets like carparks etc on a regular basis!
I have a request though if at all possible? I'm trying to make myself a large inter-modal yard. I require cargo platforms that are just plain concrete. Preferably to match the "cover for track" mod, or an entire station with concrete texture and empty cargo bays would also work nicely :)

Basically I'd like to have a truck station as long as possible running alongside a train station track, then I can straddle the 2 with an inter-modal crane to set the scene. I could then repeat the process to make a large yard that has good visuals and realism (especially if someone made a container crane that was animated back and forth!)

If this is possible or something you'd be interested in making please let me know :)

good sell point on these cargo stations would be showing the pathing when you have 3 or more lines going threw them. They get all screwy and start blocking each other and you get total major backup or complete stoppage. Been looking for a good station still looking.

bravo

This is great, thank you.

Hi "I don't care anymore" That's very odd. Unfortunately from the information you have supplied I have no idea whatsoever.

this, and some other models from the other cargo platforms don't appear for me even so some others do... any idea why>?

Je n’ai pas essayé cela. je ne sais pas.

Merci. Est ce que ca fonctionne également dans le mode campagne ?

Great.

You might want to categorise as Truck Station on Steam so it gets found more easily

@Epitome Of Excellence
You can build it yourself though, by adding a side track and small cargo platform? That's what I've been doing forever with passenger stations, have one main station in the city that the mainline goes through and then a bolt-on side track, 40-80 meters long, that's for small shuttle services from smaller towns and villages. Bet it'd work well with cargo hubs too

Cool idea, nice bit of added detail

:-)

c est magnifique

Wow, cool, thanks

Great mod, would love to see a station like this for railcars.

This is awesome!

I hate requesting stuff, but since this mod proves the concept... any chance for a simple 1850-appropriate module, e.g. without 20th century light poles on it (maybe just a simple wood/stone/manure slab)? That's the single most glaring ugliness in the game, to me.

I can almost handle the lifting jack in the roadside cargo stop, at least it's tiny and kinda hidden. And even the default road depot looks "okay" for 1850, though overkill for building horse carts - and again thank you for that Coach Works depot for that reason. There are a lot of "that's wrong in 1850" things, but most are at least tolerable. But those tall electric light poles in the default truck station, in 1850, are just absurd.

All that said... this was a must-have as well. Now at least I can stop imagining tiny gremlins pouring oil drums in/out of the tankers. Thank you!

@hatsjie2 Yes good idea. I was thinking on those lines too. There was a mod in TF1 but it won't port over.

Brilliant! Maybe you could make a similar thing for train cargo stations?

good job brillante idee

Brilliant. This will save me a few hours multiple times. Thank you.

Very nice, thanks! Perfect for my Rotterdam refinery :-)

Hi Slimnasty - thanks - that was the working title :)

You might want to change the name as when searching to install, it comes up as Oil Platform, not Tanker Cargo Platform, could confuse people. Keep up the good work :)

Works perfectly, thank @Madhatter, great mod

Thanks for that. Will try it out now.

- Yes it is small it uses assets from the vanilla game so no large files required. ;)

hi mongolteiko - place a vanilla truck station - then click on it and click the config button
the new platform should be there for you to choose

I've got the mod installed but can't find it anywhere. I'm in 2020. I've checked both the road vehicle depot and assets sections. File-size seems small [@ 0.610 MB] but I'm no computer software tech/programmer etc. I do build my own comps though! lol

Very nice! Something that is really needed! Thank you.

Hell yeah, that's what I was waiting for. Too unrealistic to me that the game makes no difference between cargo types in terms of loading method. Now solved thanks to your magnificent work!
