I am doing a bit of test to see if the problem of 180 degree turn can be solved. As seen in the screenshot above, The despawning happened on the left hand side, right to the words "Highway". I am thinking if I reverse the traffic flow, the cargos would be having a 180 degree turn.

But interestingly, I received a no road access sign after I have connected both ends of the building, that may be the root of the problem...anyone could help?

could you make a cargo station that receives the trains from the underground?

I can install it, but I can't get any trains to use it. I've plopped it in my city, near all the commercial zones, and trains should be coming from my industrial area, but they won't go to this station!?!?

could you please add a double track station as well? Very good little station that is great for traffic control. Thanks

For all of those people wishing to install/place the building -

Step 1) Put down a normal road - Any kind will do, you'll delete it later

Step 2) Using the NoPillars Mod (I have a box on the bottom left) I select No Collision (+No Zoning) from the bottom of the two drop down boxes (Zoning/Collision) - This means the building won't "collide" when you're looking to place it down

Step 3) Change the Zoning/Collision type back to "Default" and install the rail conenctions and road connections

Step 4) Profit????

The trucks from this station drive past the building on their return, u-turn at the exit of the cargo station and illegally drive reverse down the one way road to despawn at the station.

It's like returning vehicles *must* pass the exit point of the cargo station before they can despawn. A pity, a nice station apart from this mishap... :(

Maybe the tunnel roads are too steep, making them a lil longer could help. I do like this idea thou.

Could you make a video or detailed description how to install at place? I can't plop it anyway to the road.

Guys, I've tried last night to figure out of the stupid and crazy spawning truck but no luck ;-( with rail on ground, they don't even want to go underground and drive on concrete....
Not sure where the 0 of the x,y,z is based on, the arrow from the front, midlle of asset or the train track. I can't figure it out, if someone know... It will be very appreciated!

@GCVos: good idea! I'll try to move the road maybe it will change spawn behaviour. When I got some time, I'll check this but currently working on some other asset atm.

This is an interesting concept! I think the issue is the road is closer to the station than the spawn routes, causing trucks to 'miss' their exit and notice it as soon as they reach the assets edge. I'm not sure but if you move the road back to the default distance, that'll likely solve the problem.

nice road idea, but the sunken rail, i don't like.
MomoTimbuktu (Louis) 18 Nov, 2015 @ 4:03pm 
It works fine, but it's kind of ardous to place it imo. Another point: the trucks go crazy indeed. Maybe the modders should create driving schools ;-)
I go with Don'tCryJustDie: would be better without the sunken rails. Good job though, it's a good basis you can improve. And you should!
The_Kramer  [author] 17 Nov, 2015 @ 1:14pm 
Thanks guys! I'm waiting for your feedback of how it works on the long run.

@DontCryJustDie: I've tried to just change the track for a ground one but truck spawn went totally crazy :-( no matter what value I changed, nothing changed! I don't want to spend more hours to tweak it for now. I'm so annoyed and pissed by the cargo AI, I'll look into it later...

Good job u got it finally workin :) Looks very nice!
DontCryJustDie 17 Nov, 2015 @ 9:07am 
Hello,
could you please do a version without the sunken rails?
MomoTimbuktu (Louis) 17 Nov, 2015 @ 7:13am 
Hey, great idea! Finally somebody cares about some alternatives to the Vanilla cargo station, which is indeed not very attractive. I was waiting for it! So - I'll give this a try ;-)
