this mod has 2 other uses for train power and T/E, cargo are just has tricky to get it to work, just saying

It may seem to work, but there might be problems. If I remember correctly, its when there are multiple cargo slots in the vehicle, it didn't work correctly. i.e 100 total capacity made up of 2 x 50 slots.

it really works as a power modifier too, for both games however it may conflict with multiple unit mods

I didn't even get a chance to fix this one properly :( Hopefully another script modder will make something ;)

Hi is it possible to convert to TPF2?

thank you

@Uffty - it was never meant to be a cheat, as such, just allow shorter trains.
However, as you can see, it doesn't work properly and hasn't for ages, I left it here so as not to cause issues with peoples games, but am not maintaining it any longer.

This mod is good, but it also doubles price and maintenance costs which nullifies its use and purpose = useless. With or without mod is the same.

is there a way to make it so when you increase the capacity it doesnt increase the cost of the vehicle? i changed mine to do *40 and the starter horse cart costs 600k

Ahh ok, yeah its based off current (vanilla) values not real world which as you say, is 4x.
So yeah, its 1/2 real life capacities.

@RWB FxUK The game uses 25% of real world capacities so when I read 100% I thought it would be 4x. But as I said it's a good mod. I use real world capacities (4x) now and it's very crowded love it!

@RWB. Now that's funny.

@alphaprior - If the capacity is 10, multiplied by 2, making 20, that is a 100% increase.
Not sure how its misleading

I've noticed that trains do not fill fully when it can carry what is present at the stations.

it has a multiplier of 2 so it gives half of the real capacity not 100% title is misleading, it's a great mod though

@FX2K great advice... I'll do some balancing and come up with some sensible default settings.

@SPQR - Awesome ;)
It might be worth listing the default mod values in the description, for those of us who are too lazy to re-configure it :D

@FX2K I made a new mod inspired by yours: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1104465202

I posted a thing here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/app/446800/discussions/2/1471967615857576277/

I've nearly finished a mod that gives similar functionality but has a config file so you can adjust rebalance capacities by vehicle type, time period and (to a limited extent) cargo type.

@SPQR - I keep meaning to sort it, but haven't had any time recently, so not even looked at what changes are required. Feel free to do whatever you wish :)

I've rewritten the mod.lua so that it works for split cargoes. I could post it here if the mod author doesn't mind and anyone is interested.

@General Chaos - I am aware it doesn't work with the ships split cargo, I will be taking a look at it.
I haven't played TpF in a while, needed a break from it :)

With this new patch all are still working (don't know about aircraft yet still in 1890's) except when you buy new cargo/fuel ships. Pre patch ships still are doubled, just the new ships seem to be affected.

@TheActor - I'll have a closer look with repalcement vehicles etc.

Hi, all the new replacements have the old vanilla capacity's. I notice that because the ones still running on the line with same wagons who have the double capacity.

@TheActor - I just loaded a game (which I don't use mods in) checked the capacity of a few vehicles, added the mod and they had doubled as expected.

What issue are you seeing? I know there is an issue with ship capacities since the split cargo was added, but it should still be working for most.

Hi FX2K
Youre mod is not working anymore. It stopt about 1 weel ago. Perhaps you could find the time to solve the problem.
I'm looking forward to that
Greetz,
TheActor

That may well be the case, if I get some free time over the weekend I will have a quick look, I can't promise anything though, I have been a little too busy to even play the game for ages

Hi FX2K.
It seems that the capacity mod is not compatible with the new multicompartment ships that are in the upcoming patch. My ships dropped down to standard capacity.

so, in retro spec i can get more money with this mod by increasing the size of the cats, right? or will the money be the same but you get to transport more people?

Will this mod worked in Campaign?

Hi FX2K,
it worked with that tipp. Thanks. Eventhough I have not tested it for long I was able to launch the game and saw the capacities changed for cargo only but not for passengers. Without guarantee the code looks now like that:

for i=20,1,-1
do
if data.metadata.transportVehicle.capacities ~= null and data.metadata.transportVehicle.capacities .type ~= "PASSENGERS" then
data.metadata.transportVehicle.capacities .capacity = data.metadata.transportVehicle.capacities .capacity * 2
end
end


Thanks a lot for the help.

Aeraxon

Thank you for answering

@Aeraxon - I know :( I did make a start on a formula to recalculate costs etc, trying to get it as close as possible to vanilla, so I could then re-use it to balance some things with this and other mods, but I could never get it to a state I was happy with, I since shelved the idea.

@twalmsley2011 - ID is 784327209, tip: you can get the ID by right clicking the workshop page, copying the url. The id is at the end of the url.

@Aeraxon: I haven't tested (and haven't looked at tpf scripts for a while either) but yeah it should be possible and easy enough to do.. a quick and dirty way could be:

Replace:
if data.metadata.transportVehicle.capacities ~= null then

if data.metadata.transportVehicle.capacities ~= null and data.metadata.transportVehicle.capacities .type ~= "PASSENGERS" then

P.S - I have no problem with changes being uploaded, I don't really have time at the moment to do so myself, so feel free. Same goes for anything I have on the workshop, none of it is "special" just a few simple edits here n there ;)

is there a possibility to change it so that it only applies to cargo (train and truck)?
i have basic knowledge in programming in java, but not very much experience. i have looked into the mod-file but was not able to figure out what to change to use it only for cargo.

Aeraxon

What is the id in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\446800 I want to change the value, for my personal benifets, I am not going to re-uplaoding the file.

Is there a chance we will get seperate versions for Trams/Buses/Trains/Planes/Ships?

Unfortunately, this breaks the balance a little for trains, because locomotives costs are not affected.

Does this mod have influence on the ammount of agents that appears in the game?

Iám asking this because in later epoch my framerate drops every few years too 1 frame seccond.

I had the +50% version but I had trouble with crowded stations so switched to +100% and guess what.. trains and buses are full!. For example I have a line with 3 trains 450 passenger capacity when the pass from big cities they get full and there are still passengers waiting for the next train, by the time next comes they are again high in numbers. Is this normal game behaviour or it's caused by increased capacity as a side effect?

FX2K, can you do a non-steam version of the capacity and loading speed mods please? Pretty please?

Yeah I've noticed this too, so what happens is that vehicles have more capacity but also costs more... so you have fewer vehicles... therefor you tend have longer frequencies, so what happens is lines are harder to be attractive and are generally not running as full.
In comparison on early game, most road lines are much harder to turn a profit, while trains are a bit harder (I'd imagine the locomotive doesn't increase cost), but frieght really shines, since it doesn't depend on how quick it is.
So overall I think it can be a bit harder. The entity generation too I don't think increases. I still like it though.

@widx - but you could buy less wagons / trains / buses / trucks so it balances out :P

this mod i found was ok for a say 1900 start cause i found with an 1850 start the running costs were way higher so super hard to make money on it increased capacity but also increased buy cost and maintenance costs by the same amount

Can you tell me where are these config keys?
HAve you tested this though and observed if the amount of entities generated also increases?
Questioning just out of observation as it seems like vehicles still get crowded.

just Tram please

AAA, thank you !!!

@Nicky, yes that's possible to do and is mostly in the code for the mod, but commented out, feel free to take a look. It's not something I will be looking to publish.

Can you adapt your mod to target specific groups ? For instance just ships, just aircraft, etc ?

I'm pretty sure that most vanilla vehicles are set to auto, i.e costs calculated from the stat's of other things, whereas mods like the Stadler Flirt, have a pre-set cost / maintenance.

In which case, using this mod would increase costs for vanilla stuff, but leave the maintenance costs for the Flirt as the author specified.
