Cargo helicopters run into each others paths and clogging the path and having everything at a standstill. I have to delete the helicopters in one direction to get traffic flowing.

Hey I'm having issues where the barges don't seem to work.

I already have it working so well that the game started to look like openttd.

But after I deleted and redraw the barge paths while re-doing the barge ports, it suddenly doesn't seem to work.

The towns that were supposed to trade cargo are not connected physically by anything. Only through barges can they transport cargo to each other. All of the factories are ready to export, but they won't send trucks to the barge ports.

I tested if ferry paths were the problem by trying to create ferry lines running through them; ferries seem to run along them just fine.

I even placed a new barge port, and it still won't spawn barges nor see trucks going to them

Thanks t1al, nice mod. But the barges won’t transport plastics. The are spawning and taking commercial goods but the plastic is always shipped with a truck. Even when the barges would be way faster.
Any idea?

@HKSvsGreddy - Hey, it works like cargo trains, or cargo ships, you don't need to place stops, it works automatically as needed (if the best route is via helicopter or barge the game will choose it to transfer goods and other industrial stuff.

I tried unsubbing-then re-subbing to make it work; but I still can't place ferry stops on the cargo harbours. The option to turn-off the warehouse function in the ports is missing before and after resubbing
HKSvsGreddy 4 Jul @ 8:09am 
Hey I hope you're still reading this

I can't seem to place any stops on the barge or cargo heliports with the mod on.

I'll try unsub-resubbing to see if it fixes it. I'll tell you if it works.

"(when Industries DLC is owned & the the option is enabled)"

This option doesn't seem to appear in the mod's settings. I know this is an excerpt from the original mod, but is there any possibility of configuring this?

Propositions will be uploaded to my profile .
I will play a little with ACME, but I'm starting to think some for of collage could be better though.

I love your mods, in fact I don't know how I would live without Better Toolbars, but this one is my favourite so far! You didn't just revive a very useful mod, but also added very useful cargo helicopters and informed about the existence of cargo trams!
+1 for cargo blimps – they are surprisingly good if you don't care too much about the speed.
Since I can't donate at this time, I'd like to contribute by attempting to recreate the cover image in game. Will ping you if I succeed or something.

Love this mod, but can’t get helicopters to spawn. Can’t find anything labeled “(depot)” and wondering if that’s why?
