When a VehicleAI patching "module" is activated (or deactivated), other functionality options for that vehicle type are enabled (or disabled). This has the added benefit that you can always tell exactly where a given cargo originated Ĥ) Provide more granular control over whether vehicles automatically despawn during road traffic congestion ĥ) Optionally eliminate most dummy traffic (there are two cases that are not covered) Ħ) As a bonus "cheat" … optionally force delivery trucks (of the pre-Industries DLC sort), garbage trucks, and hearses to despawn once they have completed their task and are returning to their source building.Īs with any mod, the ‘Despawn Manager’ mod must first be enabled in the Content Manager.Īfter enabling the mod, go to its Options panel to choose which of its individual VehicleAI patching "modules" to employ. For example, one may choose to use functionality of the ‘Despawn Manager’ mod for only Cargo Trains and Cargo Ships, thus leaving control of other vehicle types to the base game and/or other mods.Ģ) Vastly reduce the number of 7% filled Cargo Trains which are spawned into the city’s rail network by setting minimum cargo load thresholds, with individual thresholds for:Ģa) Unfortunately, I cannot add minimum cargo load thresholds functionality for Cargo Ships, as the base game itself doesn’t set the same flags and counters for Cargo Ships as it does for Cargo Trains.ģ) Improve the through-put of Cargo Trains and Cargo Ships by optionally forcing them to despawn as soon as they deliver their cargos.
Thus, if the developers were to change how the flag is set, this key functionality of the mod would be broken … until someone tells me about it and I can fix the mod’s code.ġ) Modularity: As shown on the first screen-shot, the player may choose the vehicle types for which the ‘Despawn Manager’ mod will "patch" the base VehicleAs. As I see it, the flag is set opposite to what its name (and what meager documentation I could find) implies. The only problem I can think of in this regard would be if the developers have changed how a key Vehicle.Flags flag is being set - this is the flag that I’m using to manage both the spawning of new Cargo Trains relative to their minimum cargo load thresholds, and the despawning of unloaded Cargo Trains and Cargo Ships. That said, it should be compatible with the current version of the game.
My point in relating this is to inform the reader that I have not, and cannot, test this mod against the current version of the game. So, I’m still playing the pre-Green Cities DLC version of the game. This purpose of this mod is to give the player more direct options to influence or control traffic in the city.įor some cause unknown to me, ever since the Green Cities DLC update, the game locks up on my computer (or even locks up the computer itself).
