Postal Service

[ko-fi.com]

This mod aims to add postal services to the game. Mail is split into two categories: local mail and intercity mail. Postal service is required in all towns with populations of 1,000 or greater.

The need of local mail is satisfied simply by building a local post office within a walking range and staffing it sufficiently. In case it is not provided, citizens suffer a happiness penalty, up to a minimum of 75%.

The need for intercity mail is satisfied by delivering mail between post offices placed more than 2 km away from each other or between a post office and a customs office. Each post office creates and accepts some amount of intercity mail proportionally to the number of inhabitants nearby. Mail has to be transported between post offices with covered trucks having only two post offices in their schedule. In case it is not provided, citizens suffer a happiness penalty, up to a minimum of 85%. In case it is provided, they get a happiness boost. The amount of mail stored in post offices and vehicles can be seen in windows appearing after clicking on them.

In order to simplify setting mail routes in more developed maps, main post offices can automatically collect and distribute intercity mail in the radius of 1000 m. You can see their radius and assigned local post offices after clicking them.

For modders: a post office is a city hall with a road subtype and (preferably null) covered storage. If it has 20 or more workers, it is considered a main post office.
