I have a problem with this mod. Having to install all the files manually on a mac, I’ve not found a mod manager to work properly with mac file system yet. Now I get no more floating icons showing goods routes, and out of a possible 40 industry sites on a small map, only 4 or 5 are actually producing anything, and these are only making 1 unit a year. I’ve tried starting in 1850, 1900 and 1950 but I still get very few active industries and very low output rates.

Ok I now understand the manufacturing model a bit more, I did not think it was possible to stimulate dormant industries but I see if you create a demand with an infrastructure then the manufacturing can be coaxed into starting.

It would be good to get more than just the domestic goods supply chain, so that steel,or wood, for example, can be used to make different things to supply into the towns.

You should ready the Train Fever Interactive Guide to understand the basics.
Industries ONLY produce when there is demand. If industries are not linked with cities, they produce nothing. If they are not linked with suppliers, they produce nothing.
This is what makes Cargo Mod very hard, since you need to establish the entire chain first before getting any good. And until they produce enough to be profitable you have to take years or even decades of losses.

This Cargo Mod is possibly one of the best mods out there for Train Fever! Great challenge! Very enjoyable puzzle to get the chain working.

Just one detail remark: the “Steel Mill” should be called “Iron Works” because it produces the iron pegs, and  the name is confusing with the existing “Steel Works” which produces the actual steel. (Initially I hooked it up wrongly because of the confusing name)

Again, great mod, a must-have for all challenge seekers.

I am having difficulty using this mod with the USA dlc, the vehicles (trains and trucks both) do not recognize the cargo.   Is there another version to work with the new content?

 

Thanks.

[Gwinda]

The way cargo is handled in the game, each model needs to specifically support each cargo type. I haven’t modified the cargo mod for the USA DLC. I will put it on my list if there is any interest…

Hi everyone 🙂 I know, that now we have 2018 and this topic is from 2014… :p But is anyone here, who can upload this mod? I can’t play Transport Fever, but I would really like to play with lots of options in industry on my Train Fever…

Thanks a lot 🙂
