Smaen's Cargo System Rework

[16tonn]

(Double) Hi. What are you going to use to carry this?

@16tonn
I am unable to reproduce this issue. All cargoes in my game have regular weights. What cargo is that in your screenshot?

Hello, could you please tell me what add-ons support your mod? It would be great if this information were included in the mod description.

[Smaen]

For the most part, any mod should be supported. This is listed in the description.

Seems like Dotec's Kögel flatbeds are not fully compatible though, as they have their own set of custom cargoes.


New update coming out very soon, including 1.57support , as well as some extra fixes and changes. Will be compatible with both 1.56 and 1.57, for anyone sticking with the older versions.
Lowbed and lowboy/lowloaders are also getting some extra attention in this update.

The mod has been updated!
At this moment, I have only updated it on the Steam Workshop, a Sharemods link will be posted soon™

I haven't made a proper changelog or update post, but I can mention full 1.57 compatbility, some more cargo fixes to lowboy/lowloader (including hauling excavators on the non-extended trailers), fixing some cargoes to appear on the top deck of the lowbed and other changes and fixes I have forgotten.

If anyone runs into any issues, let me know and I'll try to get it sorted as soon as possible.
Enjoy!

Thanks for this update Smaen!

One thing i've forgot to ask before: Are you planning an ATS version of it?

[Smaen]

Not planning an ATS version, no.
ATS already allows reefers to haul all dry cargo, doesn't have issues with excavators loaded the wrong way and allows dropdeck to haul most flatbed cargoes.
Sure, there's some minor things that could still be fixed, but I don't think it's worth making a mod for.
Open for ideas though.

Version 5.1 is live on Sharemods too, for those that prefer to avoid the Steam Workshop

What's the difference between this mod and this mod? viewtopic.php?t=335125

[Smaen]

There's some overlap, and some differences.
Both mods adjust cargo availability for box trailers, both mods add some flatbed cargoes to lowbed and vice versa, but the exact changes are different.
Only my mod actually fixes how excavators and other machines are loaded on lowbed.
My mod also allows reefers to transport all dryvan cargo, while that mod only has selected cargoes.
To my knowledge, both mods were made without either of us being aware of the other one existing. Though this thread was only created this year, my mod was actually created all the way back in 2019.
