It still works.

It simply is not obvious: try finding metro/train stations with a lot of passengers waiting, and observe the passengers.

Alternatively, also install Transport Lines Manager (TLM) and observe the "passengers bored" red color indicator almost never go full red.

@Vectorial1024 Is the mod really still working? I specifically checked the game simulation with and without the mods, and there seemed to be no difference.

@yoyo_

Bug is in 1.0.5 during the rewrite; fixed in 1.0.6

Check your Skyve; or, somehow tell Steam to grab the update.

@Vectorial1024
from which version did the 'outside connections vehicle spam' issue start to occur?
Vectorial1024  [author] 7 Jun @ 2:01am 
@everyone

Sorry for the wait! Essentially, I have forgotten to reset the "spawn vehicles now" alarm that is built in at every outside connection link, so vehicles would not stop spawning once the game decided to spawn them.

This has been fixed. I recommend simply waiting it out and let the extra vehicles reach their intended destination and naturally despawn, but in extreme cases you can delete those vehicles via TMPE.

supposedly it affects everything except planes, since this mod replaces the boarding logic of basically everything except planes. planes are not touched because I noticed they got something more interesting going on.

@dezinomrah Idk why but intercity buses stopped working for me a long time ago, they just didn’t go at my hubs neither spawning there, so I don’t use them. So I can’t confirm unfortunately this bug for buses, but if it happens to you, I guess this is the same problem as with trains. Maybe even ships and planes?…
Nerdy 6 Jun @ 4:55pm 
From the most recent change notes of the Transport Tool mod: "Advanced Settings - Added Intercity Stop forced spawn based on waiting passenger count." Could there be some kind of problem between the two mods or is it unrelated?
Nerdy 6 Jun @ 4:50pm 
+1 for masses of (almost always) empty intercity busses. First they clogged up my city coming from the outside connections. After resetting the intercity bus metro hub with Move it! they stopped coming from the map edges and instead started their endless spawn spree right at the hub. ^^
dezinomrah 6 Jun @ 3:03pm 
confirmed, turned off the mod (which is great btw and thanks) and no more empty intercity buses or trains.
dezinomrah 6 Jun @ 2:35pm 
@vectorial1024 @sergeantsadman i'm having the same behavior with empty outbound intercity trains constantly spawning at several stations with intercity trains enabled, as well as tons and tons of empty intercity buses arriving at my intercity bus terminals. sergeant, can you check your intercity bus terminals if you have any?
SergeantSadman 6 Jun @ 12:31pm 
Heh, okey! Thank you for looking the problem so fast:104: No worries, for this great mode i can wait
Vectorial1024  [author] 6 Jun @ 11:56am 
ok, looking at the code again, I think I really forgot to do something

will do a more detailed checking later, but in the mean time, consider this an unexpected "pop quiz" stress test ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Vectorial1024  [author] 6 Jun @ 11:49am 
ok, at least I can confirm there is this problem

it's probably indicating I forgot to do something, but no idea at the moment
Vectorial1024  [author] 6 Jun @ 11:39am 
in the mean time, try unsub -> resub
Vectorial1024  [author] 6 Jun @ 10:24am 
@SergeantSadman

That's probably not intended, but I also got a separate report about external trains behaving strangely.

No idea for now since unfortunately my test city does not have external trains...
SergeantSadman 6 Jun @ 10:20am 
Hey! It seems after the update the game generates a lot of trains with 5-40 passengers. Earlier it had been waiting until full load, now it's spamming numerous trains. Is it new behavior?...

这个MOD不能使用
OneJasonBradly 23 Feb @ 10:55am 
@Vectorial1024. What you describe in the Feb, 1. post is a vanilla behaviour. Not sure when it was implemented But I DO NOT use your mod and my trams, busses, trains and metros will over-pack vehicles when a larger volumes of passengers are waiting.
Vectorial1024  [author] 1 Feb @ 3:34am 
Interestingly, this mod actually helps pack the external connection passenger vehicles more, so that each vehicle (eg plane, ship, etc) arrive with more passengers inside them. It's a side effect that I know but didn't think much until a recent discussion.

I'm experiencing the same issue as with The1ManClan, 30/240 passengers on a vanilla train with 3,200 people at the stop.
Vahlee 26 Aug, 2024 @ 12:55pm 
Thank you for this. Wish this worked in real life. Had a bus driver yell at me for trying to board through the back door, deapite the fact theres a fare box eight there and even though he didn't close it.

I wish I could insert a simple Windows Snip screen shot into the message so that I could share the shot of a tree pulling away with 240 people when it has a 600 person capacity, meanwhile the platform is crammed with waiting passengers.
The1ManClan 11 Jan, 2024 @ 2:13pm 
No just whatever trains the vanilla game has. I've never thought about trying to install other kinds.
Vectorial1024  [author] 11 Jan, 2024 @ 1:25am 
That's not supposed to happen; are you using extra long trains? We don't deal with those here.
The1ManClan 10 Jan, 2024 @ 8:06pm 
My trains are flying out of the stations, leaving passengers behind, when the train isn't even half full.

@Hestia highly recommend you check out the Skyve mod / app if you haven't already, it will fufill 99% of your 'is this working / is this updated?' needs :P :)

Is this still safe to use after the latest patch?
Vectorial1024  [author] 16 May, 2023 @ 8:44am 
Ah wait at some point I had given up on this, and have actually required CitiesHarmony as some sort of Harmony proxy, so I will declare CitiesHarmony.

---

But still, allowing total strangers to decide in full capacity whether to auto-download CitiesHarmony is probably the worst software design decision I have ever heard. Who would ever approve of a benign malware that can self-modify its environment and download undeclared executables??? I dont and I wont.
Vectorial1024  [author] 16 May, 2023 @ 8:21am 
Thanks for the suggestion, but then again, I want Harmony, not CitiesHarmony.
Chamëleon TBN 16 May, 2023 @ 5:30am 
@Vectorial1024 - it would be good, if you would add Harmony as dependency too, instead of having it only stated in the description :)

我啱啱先發現到你呢個mod
香港人加油!
This boarding problem I thought it’s unfixable until I found your mod
Thanks for your mod making our lives easier!:steamthumbsup:

唔該曬!
Vectorial1024  [author] 12 Feb, 2023 @ 4:21am 
@oskarbalcerzak

I assume is yes without wanting to do any proper test, because both mods are dealing with different things.
oskarbalcerzak 12 Feb, 2023 @ 2:19am 
Does this work with Improved Transport Manager?

Perhaps you are new.

IPT2 => Improved Public Transport 2

Quinnell 29 Dec, 2022 @ 10:58pm 
I'm sure I'm missing the obvious, but what mod is "IPT2" referring to? I don't recognize the acronym.
Vectorial1024  [author] 19 Dec, 2022 @ 5:50am 
I think yes, this mod should work with latest version; they didn't change anything related to public transport, so no action needed
CheezBallz 18 Dec, 2022 @ 10:51pm 
Does this work with the newest version?
VNDK8R 15 Dec, 2022 @ 6:24pm 
Is a Cities: Skylines 1.16.0-f3 update coming for this mod?
Vectorial1024  [author] 24 Nov, 2022 @ 2:05am 
Sometimes we may have unexplained problems, and sometimes, when we face these problems, a simple disable/enable can fix it.
GunthorNC 23 Nov, 2022 @ 9:35pm 
@darkangel

Real time mod gets things stuck. If you have it get rid of it. It fixed it for me.
Darkangel 9 Nov, 2022 @ 10:05am 
I also have better public transport that i had before so not sure if thats the conflict but since i took it off i only had 3 trains stuck at dif times and then had to delete them with traffic manager. I had to get rid of penguins ticket price for public transport which meant i had full control over all the prices of every transport vehicle but no one had worked on this since penguin left the room.
