[REL/WIP] Arnook's Container Pack - ATS Edition (V9 ~ 12/04/2024 ~ 1.49)

[oscu0]

@KrysEmlyn would you consider doing something similar for other static container stacks, like in ports?

[KrysEmlyn]

I would, but that involves touching prefabs and may cause incompatibilities with other mods, such as ones that replace the game's companies with real company names.
I'll see if there are non-prefab container stack models that I can potentially fiddle with, though. No promises on anything as I also have other projects that I am working on.

Arnook, thanks for taking a look.

I will have to see about getting it to work myself then.

Hi, your mod is brilliant. The containers add much needed realism to ATS. Any new American and Canadian skins coming to the existing skins? Plus I can say the trains look very nice and can say that the mod works great with a mod a friend made. He asked me if I can post the compatibility mod to your thread for those with the improved trains mod. If not that’s fine. Just asking a few questions concerning your mod.

[Arnook]

@BurnoutRacer I'm not adding any new skins to the containers i've already done in the short or medium term. All the enw skins will be for new container models that we'll add to the mod.
I try to add a healthy mix of EU & US/CA-oriented skins to each update, though obviously some are more EU-oriented like the 45ft for example.

About the train mod compatibility, as far as I know the train add-on should already be compatible with other AI train mods as it is. If not you can try to check /change the loading order.

[BurnoutRacer]

Thanks for the reply, it is good to hear that there are more containers coming to the mod. About the compatibility. Yes it does work with the Improved trains mod, however the creator of the mod has developed a full replacement container compatibility mod that removes all of the older double stacks and replaces them with your containers. Is it alright if I place the compatibility mod on here for those that use the mod?

[Arnook]

since @KrysEmlyn is the creator of the train add-on i'll leave that up to him. If he's OK with it then you can post it here.

It would probably make more sense to post it on said mod's page as well, imo.

[KrysEmlyn]

The link to the mod in question can be posted here.
Just don't expect me to troubleshoot issues with it, if any come up.
I'll only be offering support for the addon that I created for Arnook here.

[BurnoutRacer]

Thank you for the permission KrysEmlyn. Here is the link for those who use the Improved Trains Mod.

I will edit this post with updated links as the compatibility mod gets updated. Cheers!

Hello @Arnook!

I would like to share another addon I've been working on the last days, I think it's been something requested by some people. With this addon you can buy your awesome containers . Sometimes you want to drive a litte bit more with them instead of dropping and forgetting

A few notes:

- It's completely standalone, meaning if you also want to keep the standard system of containers the addon won´t override anything. You buy an standalone ownable container chassis provided by this mod and its container.
- The weights have been increased according to each type of container, it takes into account the weight of chassis plus the (empty) container itself. Should be quite realistic, I did some research at how much each container normally weighs.
- In order to make things easier you can find the buyable chassis container at the trailer dealer.
- Flatracks and ISO tank containers have been left out, there is no much point in owning them since they have limited use. If ownable tankers come at some point I will probably provide support for the ISO tanks.

I can send you the addon via PM if you agree and you can take a look if you are interested to publish it. Credits would go to Nitrodax777 of Steam workshop (its an abandoned mod now, I just adapted it to your mod) and of course to you for provide the base of the mod.
